Hey everyone,
As you might know, the last few days have been let’s say “eventful”. I’m of course talking about the whole debate around Jizz_Beard_thePirate’s username.
I’ll be first to say that the most of the situation was handled poorly. From the initial inaction by the mod team when JBTP first signed up to the events that led to the changing of the name earlier this week. I was under the impression Wizz_Beard_thePirate was his chosen new name but I wasn’t in contact with Jizz directly which meant I didn’t have the full picture.
But, in a better late than never fashion, we’ve reached out to Jizz yesterday to get his thoughts on changing his username and to address his concerns about NSFW rules. After a few messages exchanged, we have come to an understanding:
Jizz has accepted to change his name (I’ll let him tell you what he chose) and we agreed to publicly guarantee him that we won’t be changing the NSFW rules. So here it is:
The content of Jizz’s posts are very much appreciated by the mod team, he is a great member of our community and we wouldn’t dream of making him change how he behaves on the forums. His colorful expressions like “faptastic” do not violate the NSFW rules and we do not plan to ever extend those rules to apply to post content. Furthermore, Jizz has managed the difficult task of keeping his popular NSFW anime thread within the boundaries of the NSFW rules without it degenerating into a porn thread so I know for a fact that he knows what content is acceptable and where it is acceptable.
As a final note, let me say to Jizz, that I am sorry he got caught up in this turmoil and that I hope he stays with us for years to come under his new identity.
