I have been using this account for two years now. All of a sudden, someone finds my username offensive and blocks me before I have a chance to respond. This I didn't have a problem with, it just shocked me. The next thing I know I'm getting a nasty and very rude email, where this person is saying they've reported me because of my username. Am I going to lose my account because someone finds my name offensive? ~wiccan_wolf

• No, your username is perfectly fine. There are plenty of usernames with a person's beliefs as part of the name. What isn't allowed is the discussion of those beliefs on Neopets. Religious usernames that aren't tolerated would mostly be things that could be considered solicitous, or those that are attempting to "encourage" others to join their religion or degrade other religions. This is because such a username is basically trying to incite discussion or rile up others rather than express that their religion/belief means a lot to them.

Please note that political usernames are a no-no, though. We've found these do nothing but cause trouble. Neither you nor your Neopets should be named after politicians.(Issue 308)
