You could simply bring it up to @Kevin and if he see's it unfit, he can change it himself.

Geralt is the main character from the 3 witcher games, and nekker is a monster from the witcher games aswell
Also the word nekker isn't racist or a bad word in witcher.

I don't mind getting it changed, but there's nothing wrong with the name for it to be changed

oh.
didn't realize that function actually creates a new thread.

forgive my ignorance, I dont play witcher, probably not the only one who doesnt.
it genuinely appeared to me as "micro" or "feign" racism, and to anyone else who would be unfamiliar with the term.

I've always stood by the zero tolerance policy, and the username simply looks like a stab at said policy.

You could of at least looked it up before making the report, lol.

It's already been explained, no need to add your two cents.
Like I was saying, it's not uncommon to see people using words that sound or read similar to racial slurs, but are not verbatim to the word itself.
Usually done to "outsmart" admins or chat filters.

In any case, that username is asking for the attention it got.
I won't make any conjecture if the user intended the name to seem racist or not.

Shouldn't we just close this? Or is there a reason it isn't?

 

[Zeprus]

Closed.

If Kevin deems the name offensive action will be taken soon, or not.
Nevertheless, assuming this is not a "hurr durr look it's the n word but it's not" name, I'm genuinely curious why you named yourself that. Shoot me a pm if you feel like it. You don't have an obligation to do so.
