Disallow offensive names & profile pictures (ex. Hitler)

[Tofty]

My school regularly punished students for bringing up things that many people may find very offensive, one of them being Hitler. Students would regularly draw swastikas on desks, their arms, etc, and for some (ex. Jews and homosexuals), it'd be rather offensive.

On a forum with over 36,000 members and over 1,000,000 messages, shouldn't the staff of the forum in question be taking extra measures to ensure MC-Market is a friendly place where everyone can join, and not get upset about certain names and profile pictures.

Thank you.

So just like the suggestion to let people remove comments on their threads, which was denied? Limiting freedom of speech because it hurts your feelings? No. no no no no just no. This world, more specifically this forum, does not revolve around you. Just because it hurts your feelings does not mean we should get rid of it. Tough shit, man up. If it hurts too bad, find a safe space near you and go there to calm down. I may sound like an asshole, but this is seriously retarded (uh oh I just triggered someone I bet). If you don't like what you see, either 1) leave or 2) ignore it. If you think it's bad on MCM, just wait until you see the rest of the internet. Literally every site on the internet has something someone doesn't like, but they don't file a complaint and get that site shut down.

This is really situation specific. There are rules in place on harassment and disrespect. If we feel you're breaking one of those your content will be removed.

I'm going to archive this because it's already in place. If we see swastikas as a profile picture, report it and it'll be removed.
