Username policy

Leonhartopedia's username policy is the set of rules by which usernames must abide. Failure to abide by these rules will result in a ban.

Obscenity and insults
Any obscene words in a username are grounds for an immediate block. It's clearly not necessary to go into exactly what words are block-worthy, but if you wouldn't in good conscience say it to a 10-year-old, don't include it here. If there's any doubt, during registration, that your username could be obscene in any way, shape, or form, simply don't use it; choose another. Usernames that insult users, websites, or other institutions will also be banned. Substituting numbers and/or symbols for letters of words that are deemed unacceptable will also lead to the user being banned.

Confusing usernames
If you by design choose a name that is deliberately very similar to a current Leonhartopedia contributor, a feature of the software, or anything else that could cause confusion, it is grounds for a permanent blocking or forced change of the username. Names such as "Administrator", "sysop", "bot", etc. are not tolerated; nor "Dar13nL30nhart" or other variation. If someone is using what you consider your username, add a number at the end or some other form of distinction.

Impersonation
Creating a username that is a clear impersonation of a celebrity or notable corporation is unacceptable. Names such as "George Bush," "Enron Corporation," etc. are not tolerated and will be blocked on sight.

Changing usernames
Changing usernames can only be performed by an Editorial Board member. Changing usernames is discouraged, as it drains server resources. A valid reason must be provided. Repeated name changes are not allowed.
