Why is someone allowed to create an account called gas_the_jews4ever .

Shabatin

surely you can add a regex to the account creation logic that will prevent this type of thing from happening?
This guy says in chat " I bet you are a jew, I will gas you too". ugh 

Shabatin

Oh and why is there no option anywhere on the site to report such a thing???

There used to be report buttons, but even those were abused, and had to be removed.

I agree this member must be removed immediately, it is offensive.  The best we can do is send a support ticket in, and they should remove them.  It can work as well as a report button; you get a response in under 24 hours

I"ve sent in a ticket to have them deleted.

                  Admiral;  are they still here right now??  Nevermind, the accounts been closed.

Admiral_Kirk

They were five minutes ago when I sent the ticket, now they're gone!  Wow, very efficient.

Admiral_Kirk

Yep, I just got an email reply saying it's been closed.  Usually it takes a few hours.

I'm sorry to hear that.  My username, though, cannot be changed.

Is "Jew' a race or a religion? If it is a religion, then the username is not racist, although insulting all the same.
