[invalid] Censored Username Removal

My name, Furry, has most likely been added automagically as a censored word in #osu, at the time being my name currently changes to "blurry" and I was wondering if it could get removed possibly. I have had this name for longer than the percolate was added, so it's not my fault.

It was automatic from what I've heard.

I think you should try emailing to accounts@ppy.sh and tell them about this problem.

That's interesting. Want to see it in chat for myself XD.

It's not an account issue, this is an issue with the new censor, because I have had my account for 2 YEARS and this percolate is literally 2 months old or something.

I would still email, but even I'm not sure if it is leaning more on the account side or chat side. You should be redirected to the right direction if anything.

I was told to just make a forum post, since it was most likely automatic, there was no actual reason for the censor to be added, plus it's my username, so, it's a censor issue since it's new and censors my username.

No reply after 2 days in this forum, nor from accounts@ppy.sh, I do not know what to do now.

Wait, so why again is 'Furry' on the censor list?

With a name and and avatar like that, I think you are in a good position to guess.
Not saying it's justified though, I think most censors are ridiculous.

What are you saying? Just because I have this username means it's automatically the 18+ content of the fandom my name could be referring to? That's sorta not an option for why the censor was added.

There are lots of SFW censors, doesn't surprise me that you're hit by one of them. Interestingly enough, there is an option to disable censors in the osu options menu. And it doesn't work.

edit: and if I were to guess as to why it is a filter, I'd say because if someone's mentioning it in public chat they're probably about to either start some drama or attract some trolls who will do that for them. Just a guess though.

Could have chosen a name that doesn't push your fandom down the throats of everyone who sits in chat.

Just add blurry to your highlights and be done with it.

Hindsight is 20/20, he can't go back and choose now which is why he made the thread. Either way I wouldn't say this pushes the fandom down people's throats unless he regularly brings it up as a topic of discussion. As a parallel to the issue of fandoms and their reputations, consider the difference between a username inspired by a religion, and someone who goes around evangelising every day in chat.

That's like saying people aren't allowed to name themselves after anime characters.

I still don't understand why they didn't at least check to see if there was a name under the word they were censoring..

Supporters get a name change. If it is really that much of a hassle, he can use that.

The point is that he shouldn't have to use his name change, and that the censor shouldn't have been added in the first place.
(if there's someone using that name.)

Why is it censored anyway?

I see where you're coming from, but the bigger issue here is that those in charge of the chat have changed the wordfilters and caused this problem for him. It is not his own fault, so resolving this issue by removing his only name change (which he paid for) would be a poor solution in my opinion.
