>Usernames that contain profanity, obscenities, or other potentially offensive language. This includes non-English languages.

This rule is not able to be enforced. Many words fall under these categories and would be banned with these rules even if they're not implied to be like that. I shall give two examples:

Huys means House in old Dutch and the Mahusetan languages known as Mærtan, but when put in Cyrillic it means "Dicks" in Russian.

Fucking, Austria and similarly named cities. When someone lives close or in that place many people use it as their name. Under these rules many names would be banned even though just being normal places.

Things that can't be enforced within the misleading usernames:

Names that can be confused with other contributors.

''Imagine someone being a cat lover and naming their profile CatLover22, then another person loving cats comes and calls himself UltimateCatLover. That would mean UltimateCatLover being banned even though it's just a coincidence.''

Names of well-known living or recently deceased people unless you are that person. If you are, say so on your user page.

''Often this is done out of respect for that person. It is easily possible that one who loved Steve Jobs and his products calls his profile "SteveJobsHero". This would be banned''

Names that are extremely lengthy.

''It is possible that people name their profiles after themselves and have a long name. Just see: http://cdn29.elitedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/article-2418171-1BC4B2E1000005DC-559_634x406.jpg''

Names that include commonly used Wikia software or MicroWiki community terms, or imply an official position on this wiki. Prohibited username components include, but are not limited to, words resembling the following:

I could call myself MahusetWikiAdmin and be banned for it.

Usernames that promote or imply hatred or violence.

Language issue again

Usernames that are recognised as slurs or insults.

Language issue, Jorik is a Dutch name but an insult in Mahusetan.

Usernames that refer to symbols of hatred, including historical figures or events that are widely associated with such.

''Something containing symbols of hatred can be disputed. One can claim all symbols contain hatred and one can claim none do. There is a small chance one uses the flag of Nazi Germany and mean it as symbolism for the good things Hitler has done, like founding Volkswagen.''

Usernames that refer to or imply sexual acts, including slang, innuendo, and double entendre.

''Fucking, Austria. Sexbierum, Netherlands. Peniscola, Templar Kingdom.''

Usernames that refer to or allude to reproductive or excretory functions of the body.

''There is a place called Poepershoek in the Netherlands and that literally means corner to poop. One can live there and use it as a name but be banned for it.''

Usernames that promote or refer to violent real-world actions (e.g terrorism, organised crime).

There are still people being named Osama Bin Laden, Hitler etc. Also one can dispute actions in various areas like the Israel-Palestine crisis.

Usernames mentioning or referring to illnesses, disabilities, or conditions.

Mongol means someone from Mongolia in English but is Dutch slang for a person with down syndrome.

Usernames that contain profanity, obscenities, or other potentially offensive language. This includes non-English languages.

''Saw the Jorik part up there? That's exactly this. Also, in Dutch the normal word for black person is "neger" which translates to nigger but is offensive in English and not in Dutch.''

Usernames which consist primarily of the name of a belief figure. Usernames that are clearly expressions of faith are discouraged, however considered allowed unless disruptive. Should a username not be clear as to the motive, it may be reviewed.

Mohammad

Usernames that promote a controversial or potentially inflammatory point of view.

There are many people with weird names, one can be called Hitler and be able to do nothing about it and be banned.

Misspellings or spellings of any of the types of names listed above with "creative substitutions".

''One word can be like that in language a but not in language b. I can call myself "VoormaligInwonerVanHuys" and can be seen as falling under that in Russian but not in other languages. ''

I hope you have a use for me pointing out the faults in the bad policy.
