How considerate should we be when we choose a screen name... and in general?

[Warborg]

I'm not sure what the problem is with that name but there is a somewhat active member who uses a far more offensive screen name.He substitutes certain letters in the spelling which might explain why it has seemingly gone unnoticed thus far.

I guess I don't pay enough attention...I'm clueless

I wonder who gave the one yes vote.

People these days take some stuff too literally, especially some things spoken in Jest but I must admit that people can take a joke too far and it doesn't end well

It doesnt even have to be in jest. So what if something offends me. We are to busy trying to be PC we arent even interacting with people in a natural manner. Talking real life too. Its ok to not like everything under the sun

I'd like to find out how many people think this screen name is inappropriate and how many are ok with it. I aim for a quick polling. No explanations expected at all. Just vote, please.

I won't retype the name because I can't, it's here https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/goonch-id.684291/

I was going to write privately but can't pm the person until they get at least 5 posts.

I'm not positive the name is meant the way you might be interpreting it. I myself am religious but I read the name CheeseZ the same way as Wailua Boy as it being a play on Cheesy. Which is why I think the poster emphasized the Z through Capitalization.

Without knowing for sure the intention It's hard to know what to do about it. If it is a religious reference then it does violate MFK TOS and should be removed as religion isn't supposed to be referenced in names, posts, etc and that includes insinuations.

If the member likes to post in the Market Place almost exclusively and the name starts with S and ends in 15 then it's been noticed. I can't say much more then that but I will ask that if you guys have issues report them. The Mods and Admins do miss things because there's a lot of content on MFK to sort through.

 

[ShanerBock888]

yeah I agree, it's just supposed to read as "cheesy"

 

[Imsobored152]

If only person so far has even figured out it could be something derogative, chances are its a harmless name

I am a Christian/Catholic... relax people maybe some multi vitamins are needed to toughen up that skin a bit. Free speach. I dont take things like this too seriously. And even if it did bother me is it that big a deal...lol especially when someone is coding something.... meh who cares

And drink a Pepsi with the vitamins.

I always laughed at his name but did wonder how it wasn't touched lol.

Maybe CheeseZ could just put this all to rest by posting where he come up with the name. Maybe he just likes cheetos?
I have never seen someone become forum famous with one post! Kinda funny
