What to do about offensive user names?

Is there a possibility that you guys could send an email regarding the offensive user name of this character? https://www.ifixit.com/User/Activity/205... or just make him go away......

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Yes! There are almost as many offensive names as offensive answers... Disgusting.

Hey, what's the deal here! That comment of mine you just modded took 100 rep. You marked it as off-topic though, but off topic is only for answers! https://www.ifixit.com/Moderation/Passed

@pccheese would you stop it with the points? I'm short 40,000 and so is Mike. So i don't want to hear it.

by

@mayer How are and Oldturkey out 40,000 points??

Anyway, that mod option for comments is new to me. That and why it steals 100 rep. I thought it was supposed to be an alternative to Spam/offensive.

by

@pccheese no points given for accepted answers after the 200 point limit is reached 5000 points in 1 day; is it possible?

This were the total as of last month:

In my case 7372 My Delta shows 181620. But 7372 X 30 is 221160 leaving me short 39540.

@oldturkey03 shows 6751 Delta 160354 but it should be 202530 short 42176

@danj 3733 Delta 91054 should be 111990 short 20936

@jayeff 1876 Delta 44634 should be 56280 short 11646

@lpfaff1 556 Delta 9786 should be 16680 short 6894

and others not as bad

@oldturkey03 I went ahead and edited the username and issued a temporary ban, I think the user just thought they were being clever getting around our profanity blocks. If you see more trouble from this guy please let me know. I'd rather not issue a permaban since their content (aside from poor-taste in user names) isn't offensive.

by

@kadan You do know Mike, Dan and i can only ban for life? Kind of like Sharia Law, or like Achmed the Dead Terrorist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gZ6-6Rb...

@kadan thanks I appreciate that solution.

Christ on a calculator. Dude, seriously the points are not the issue. The work and desire to be the best. That's the important issue. My junior repair tech needs to learn that as well. And I told you in the incident, I've already addressed the issue. Just cool breeze, lil bro

EDIT: And help the community. So I figured out, first take care of self. Next take care of neighbor. Every person draws a circle in the sand around themselves. Later you draw a bigger circle, and your husband/wife and children are in it. A great man draws an even bigger circle, and takes care of many people. You're the preachers son? You shoulda known, lil bro. I love you, and want you to do the best. Mind yourself always. That's my advice

I know it's not about the lost rep, I didn't even ask for it back, it's just that mod option is new and shouldn't subtracting 100 rep.

Anyway, a truly wise and humble man draws the circles around the important things, not himself.

by

Just remember it's Mayer who talking about his lost rep :-).

by

Important things? No man can walk out on his own story

by

@theimedic excellent answer and hope that @pccheese will heed the advice.

by

Advise heeded, as always iMedic.

Sometimes the man's story is about helping others, like @oldturkey03.
