    The word "d!ck" is apparently offensive. What if someones name is in real life D!ck? that is a NAME. Recently someone named "D!ck" got TEMPBANNED. This is a serious issue as that is a widespread english name. Please resolve this. By making this thread, I want the moderators and community to come up with a solution.

    I asked myrm and Maisaaa but got kicked repeatedly with no explanation whatsoever. In the end I got kicked for asking what bad word I said with no indication why I was getting kicked. (kickmsg: stop argueing please) I never used D!ck in an offensive way, indicating my question purpose (look bellow)

    Exact message I wrote: (copypaste): &eQuestion for the 6th time: What if someones irl name is D!ck?!

    their name is natively richard, thats a shortening of the name.. MAYBE, rarely its a name, but ive never seen it.
    but if we uncensor it, everyone will abuse it and you KNOW that noone will mean richard when they say it.
    its supposed to be a pg server (still hate that) so that word, along with a ton of others... except A$$ last i checked (odd, ehh? they will still temp ban you for that one too)

    When I was young I listened to CD's and Audiobooks (The famous 5 for example) where people where called D!ck. I know several people in real life aswell.

    for that, they mightve been calling them one, rather than calling them richard. LOL
    but anyways, yeah. the term will stay censored, sorry..
    everyone will abuse it

    late edit, you shouldnt be tempbanned for asking that question.
    dunno what happened before that message though.. so cant say much
    whoever did that should answer this thread :heart:

    You were probably kicked for bypassing the filter, even if to make a point. I personally had a great uncle named d***. That was his full first name.

    If it bypasses the filter then what makes you expect it to be allowed as a /nick?

    As I was saying about being kicked for bypassing filter.
    As of now the word is restricted. If it were not, then sure, go ahead and name yourself d***

    The name will just be abused and be offensive to others so it will probably stay sensored. Not trying to be mean so if you are sensitive please don't read the rest of my post.




    D*** is a very unusual name to have. Unless people are doing it for fun etc. Richard is the name for it really. (I am sorry if I offended you but I did warn up above)

    The word is censored because people do not use it for the shorter version of Richard they use it for derogatory name calling.

    It can be a nickname or name but as I said the filter blocks out the word so it's not allowed as a /nick. It's mostly used as an insult or another word for p****.

    Larry and myrm have given pretty clear explanations to why the word is and will remain censored. If you attempt to bypass the filter you will be kicked, and if you do it repeatedly you will be muted. This rule will not change. If you have an uncontrollable need to talk about your friend Richard in chat, then you can call him Richard.

    Here's what I have to say:

    D*** is a name; however some people use it as a derogatory word. It's also another word for the male genitalia, which to some is offensive. But to me, I don't really care if someone called me a d***, it's just a male genitalia to me and I don't see it as an insult whatsoever.

    I think someone asked why a** isn't censored. It was uncensored due to many words having that part in it. It got really annoying having a ";)/;}" in the middle of a word with a** in it. Due to popular demand, it was removed.

    tl;dr d*** is censored because people use it as an insult and people take offence to it.
