username banned for ridiculous reason.

One of the moderators sent me the definition of pogrom from Wikipedia and said it was very brutal. My name was not pogrom but autopogrum. Besides, even if it was pogrom, I would have only used a concept. It is not a glorifying or praising expression for pogrom. He has also locked the topic as if he knows a lot. He may have learned the meaning of pogrom from Wikipedia. He didn't bother to understand what I meant. I have never seen such a stupid user policy in my life. "It may have a different meaning in my language, but it means very brutal in English." Oh my, how thoughtful of you. autopogrom is a completely original expression and has nothing to do with the meaning of pogrom in English. Besides, pogrom is not even in English. People who have never learned a language other than English and have never read a single literary book in their lives try to give a lesson by saying "but we are very fragile, we can be very upset, our users can be disturbed". The dominance of the mediocre prevails.

I contacted them but I don't think there are people who will understand words. I will leave chesscom forever and continue playing on different platforms.

"a bad username" according to what? pogrom is a special breed horse. Stahl is a surname that reminds me of war, blood and carnage. Please change it.

Can someone please explain to me what the name "autopogrom" means and why it's not an appropriate username? I'm sure moderators don't even know what this name means. Don't try to teach me history by copying and pasting from Wikipedia.

My username was autopogrom.
My name was not pogrom but autopogrum.
Nice to see that you clearly remember what your username was.
You trolled with an unacceptable name, you got caught, and you got out of it without getting banned. Just accept it and move on.

Why are you rambling instead of explaining why this name is unacceptable? Can't you provide simple arguments? I'm not trolling anyone.

It means something completely different in Turkey. Leave him be.
What I want to say is this. My name was found inappropriate and removed, but there is not a single person who can explain why. They can't explain. According to them, it was inappropriate, that's all the explanation. I'm so sure they don't know what my username means.

They may block you just because you have the word killer in your name, be careful.

Stahl is my actual name and is the German word for steel.

I explained it to you. A pogrom is a group massacre targeted at ethnic or racial groups.
As such, it seems to me entirely reasonable to ban its use as a user name.
As Martin Stahl has informed you, you are free to contact Support with your theories as to why it is appropriate.
