    It might be something they can fix. All of 1.0 my friend couldn't use his preferred name because it had the letters "GM" in it, with GM being a prohibited name for obvious reasons. Apparently it didn't even matter if it was in the same word, so not only would something like "magma" be unusable, "Bog Man" was potentially unusable. Turned out it was a bug and he can use his name now. Maybe it is something similar.

    True as that may be, two often used letters next to each other are definitely a bug and can be fixed by simply allowing them.

    The word "gay" however cannot be allowed quite so easily by denying it to be used unless it has something before it, after it or both. Since there's a lot of bad words that can come before it or follow that will make it just as bad.

    That said, personally, they should allow it regardless and people should just report them over it, having a GM inflict maximum damage.
