[wp-forums] Profanity in Usernames

[Mark / t31os]

Yes indeed, that's the one.

+1 to updating the rules to cover acceptable usernames.
+1 to updating the codex page Michael linked to in his reply
+1 to Mel's suggestion for placing the rules on the registration page

Has anyone contacted the user to mention the issue with the registered 
name.
When i checked the users posts(this morning) i couldn't find any reason 
to bozo based on posted content (i did only quickly skim), my concerns 
were mainly in relation to the username(additionally the domain could be 
seen as being just as profane).

Should we inform the user, so he/she is given an opportunity to 
re-register under different credentials.
