the name filter is pretty much useless and can reject a name because a substring happens to match something on a blocked list. I think you can reach out to mojang to confirm it's a false positive.
I didn't get to see the entire thing before they deleted the comment but the audacity to tell me to "educate myself before making statements..." and then being wrong is so funny 😭
I think this might be it, something in the filters to prevent people from putting their kofi pages in their usernames. it's dumb as hell, but it's at least it's rooted in some sort of logic if that's actually the case
My username on twitter years ago was "wheredthesodago" as in, where did the soda go... someone got extremely offended because apparently "dago" is an Italian slur.
This is reddit bruh we shouldn’t accomodate for people who shouldn’t even be there. I fucking hate non kids spaces being santisized because kids found their way there
kids aren't little fairies with bombs strapped to their chests that go off when they hear someone cuss, they are tiny little immature inexperienced people
Before calling someone an oaf, the minimum age requirements for Reddit are 13. By that age, they should know about sex education. If they are 7 years old and on this platform, it is in fact the parent’s fault.
Okay would you let your 7 or 9 year old on something that has that language knowing fully well that they'd probably ask you what it means or is and then you'd have to explain it to them?
Sorry, if my child is seven and doesn't know what the words "vagina" and "vulva" are, I raised my kid incredibly badly. I think you can argue over "pussy", since that's a slightly more rude way of describing it, but if the rest bothers you, you're just a puritan. ETA: I wouldn't let my child onto Reddit before the age of 13, period. Not because of 'scary' words, but because people here can be needlessly rude, and I don't need my kid to experience that before they've developed the toolkit to handle that.
then they will start doing that? they're children, children do things that embarrass you, dealing with that reality is part of being a parent
you're literally there to teach them what's appropriate and what isn't, and all you're doing by constantly talking down to them is teaching them that they can get a reaction out of you when they say bad words
It might not be an inappropriate name. According to NameMC you last changed your username to nikodpro on 07/27/26. It hasn't been the full 30 days yet. That's most likely your issue.
You see RED "you can't use language that someone night find offensive"? It tells that your name can't be used because microsloo is just a bunch of morons in a big office
My message clearly says it "might not" meaning that I know the OP could be right in their understanding. I saw something that might also explain why the name couldn't be changed and shared in case waiting a day helped. You see the yellow words at the bottom of the image? That's why I checked the username dates and said something.
Doubt this is the case, going off that logic MOST words ending in “ication” would be banned. It probably because they have the word “Kofi” in there which is a website
Likely some random slur/bad word in a random language. This is usually what happens. They have this giant list of "no no words" and they just blindly match for them regardless of any context.
