Isenggard	So have you ever just gotten the urge to find out exactly what names have been used as a BYOND user key? Let me tell you something, there is some pretty weird and messed up account names. Does Byond actually go through some of these? Shouldn't some of these accounts be deleted??? Seriously. There needs to be a filter of some sort to block people from having these names.

Yeah! I LOVE it when the BYOND staff puts off engine and website work to go around and police the community! Actually, I think Tom's also a HUGE fan of babysitting the community, I mean he just seems to radiate joy every time he is taken away from his work by community shenanigans. Lummox too. He's such the nurturing type.

Though, seriously, if you had to go looking, odds are that they weren't in prominent portions of the site, and aren't an issue.

If you encounter an active user with an offensive name, feel free to report it to the support form and we'll take care of it.

Isenggard	YESHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quit working on the engine is the best thing I heard!!! We should all clean out the site slowly so there isn't all this rubbish on it =) lol O_o And I'm just wondering why they were to be able to have such names in the first place. O_o

Isenggard	I'll defiantly mention it if I see someone.

Jeff8500	If you do start actually policing names, I recommend starting with a good friend of mine.

Ter13	Epic.
