I may not be speaking for members as a community here, but I have just seen a not so pleasant username including swearing.
Would it not be wise to include the swear box into username creation? If the word was posted it would be blocked, so why not with usernames, after all it is more obvious! I'm not against swearing, but to use it inappropriately in a username with no meaning completely out of context is not needed for our community.
Of course members should have freedom in creativity, but I think more obvious swear words should be filtered out.

Hey folks, after much discussion today we decided against this. When Educators to the Welcome Message we suspend all membernames from the day before which aren't appropriate - so this is pretty much covered on a daily basis. But the worry is that banning words such as 'twat' etc would harm genuine members - for example, my username on twitter is Saltwaterduck - but I can't use this on PSN or other places because of the word 'twat' in the middle of it. The way we see it is we'd rather create a little more work for us, than negatively impact genuine cases. I hope this makes sense, Kind regards, Hazel.
I've just contacted an educator on the matter, it's being dealt with, but it still needs to be prevented in the future. And yes aandms I agree, like another member who would troll the forum, recently had 'theyseemetrolling' as a username. Don't know if his still around!
Actually having profanity in your username boosts your e-penís and rates you higher on the intelligence scale, allowing you to think you cool when your not We should feel sorry for them if anything, obviously they didnt get enough love at home.
