Is'nt that naming and shaming ?

The example is close enough, take it a metaphor, won't you?
I'm repeating what I said before.
Yes, one have to search for a certain word sometimes to find these users. They are intentional, but what is your point here? Just because someone knows a certain word and curiosity got the best of them it's their fault for being human?
If someone links to the profile of an user and isn't especially shaming them, unless the user that had their account linked asked them not to do it/to remove the link, it isn't naming and shaming and is not reportable.
When they are online or before the namechange, they could've added an user.
Quoting what JustMe said in the previous page.

Don't you think even if this suggestion is applied these things would happen with certain users when people make their id they can send friend request with those offensive names ?
This can't be stopped initially as they make their account and after they are lock the topic ends.

JustMe is a she. Please respect other's pronouns and atleast bother to try and check it.
What exactly is your point? You are repeating nonsense full of flaws and contradictions which I had already answered. I understand that english may not be your first language but can you make yourself understandable?
So you want to leave the accounts view-able, yet locked, causing dramas in a children-friendly website?
No, when they are locked it still doesn't end. Re-read what JustMe wrote.

You are clearly not getting what -Sen is trying to get across to you.
No, because their usernames would be censored. If you actually read the first post, you would see that -Sen included a feature that would stop users from choosing insulting usernames when they first register and when they change their usernames. (Of course, it depends on Riako to choose whether that's necessary or not.)
I'm sorry? Not only is it -Sen who is repeating himself, the only person who can understand your posts is you yourself. Your posts do not explain any of your own opinions on this matter and just seem to be a confused mashup of random thoughts.
No, -Sen did not state that you were the cause of drama. What he DID state was that these accounts when left alone could cause drama over the profanity in their usernames.

@Unsolved_Mystery, in your last post did you mean that this suggestion, if implemented, wouldn't change anything? I disagree with this. It would change the fact that I have to see rude language whenever I view my friend list. It would also stop other users from coming across the foul language when they are using the site.
The thing is, that sort of language is not allowed on this site. When it appears in feeds, about-me's or forum posts the offensive language is removed. I see no reason why usernames should be any different.

Anyway, it's different when some people make accounts like the ones you mentioned that insulted Ecco and Princess, because those were directly insulting them. Those kind of usernames shouldn't be tolerated imo, and the change of the username is a good move by Riako, and I think that's what should be done in all cases (because it's so rare).

Yes, some childrens these days are eccentric by nature, but as I kept quoting;
It's 'fine' if users were to use swear words as long as they aren't offensive(exeptions for the f bomb and some more) but to use it offensively is a big no-no (such as the users I linked + some more words). Though- if one is cussing publicly and a person whom is uncomfortable with these words or found them offensive, etc can report it.
You said so yourself, people have different morals and we should't impose ours to others, so if someone is uncomfortable with these words you don't force them to just be fine with it and 'tough up'.

Censoring usernames does not mean that the page URL will be changed when the user's profile is accessed though, which may pose an issue.
Edit: Just realized that there is the same suggestion on the front page. Oopsies! But yes, full support for this suggestion here!
