Your username and you!

Post by The_Other_Alice »

Hi everyone! We've decided to clarify our policies on usernames: please make sure that you username abides by the same guidelines as your posts do.

What this basically means is that your username shouldn't contain discriminatory language. If you wouldn't write it in a post, don't use it as your name! For the vast vast majority of you, this isn't going to change a thing. However, we wanted to be clear about what usernames would and wouldn't be appropriate here.

If you're affected by this, we'll send you a PM letting you know and asking you to change your username. If you're at all worried about your username, do feel free to post here, report yourself or PM me to get more information. If you see a username you think violates this policy, please report one of that person's posts and we'll take a look. Thank you!
