> @Akbar2thegreat the hand cutting thing no? That means when taj Mahal was built, shah Jahan cut the builders hands so that he would not make something so beautiful for anyone else. Now in my post, I pretend to be the builders ghost, who complains about akbar as he was jahangirs father who is shah Jahan s father. So, if Akbar didn't make jahangir, then jahangir wouldn't have made shah Jahan, who cut 'my' (builders) hand. I wrote it as a joke though..but in the morning, sleepily. So it isn't a very nice one I guess
Don't go off-topic.

Yes, I did it and got the answer... "We received your appeal. We will inform you about the final decision."
I don't know what else I can do
I have already written the main thoughts in these two posts

I will repeat once again that my nickname is completely autobiographical. There is no insult to other people in this. He does not offend anyone except me, and this is self-irony. The fact that in three years several tens of thousands of rivals have not complained about him proves the fact that this nickname has the right to life...
I admit that many people don't like my nickname, this is normal, I don't like 20 percent of nicknames, 5-7 percent of nicknames cause me rejection. But I've never complained about it. And no one has complained about me in these three years. Someone likes some nicknames, someone likes others, someone has one sense of humor, someone else, we all have different views. That's the essence of pluralism.
You are trying to restrict my right to ironic self-identification, while I do not restrict or offend your rights.

ChatGPT wants to have a word:
Prompt: A user of a website for playing chess online has the user name "loser_abuser". Under this name, he plays chess against other players on the website. Please give your opinion whether this user name should be considered to be inappropriate or offensive. Would it be appropriate for the administrators of the website to make the user stop using this user name?
ChatGPT: In my opinion, the user name "loser_abuser" can be considered inappropriate and potentially offensive to some users of the website. The term "loser" can be seen as insulting and derogatory, while the term "abuser" can imply aggression or mistreatment. The administrators of the website should consider whether this user name violates their terms of service or community guidelines, which often prohibit the use of usernames that are discriminatory, offensive, or disruptive to the community. If the user name is deemed to be in violation of these guidelines, then it would be appropriate for the administrators to ask the user to change their username or face account suspension. In general, it's important for users to be respectful and considerate when choosing their online usernames, as they can impact the experience of other users and the overall community atmosphere.
Follow-up prompt: What could be a possible meaning of the complete name?
ChatGPT: As for the possible meaning of the complete name "loser_abuser," it is difficult to say for certain without further context or information about the user. However, it is possible that the user chose this name as a way to express their frustration with losing in chess, and to indicate that they may play aggressively or ruthlessly in order to win. Alternatively, the name could be interpreted as a form of self-deprecating humor, where the user is acknowledging their own tendency to lose at chess or other areas of life. Regardless of the user's intended meaning, the combination of these two terms in a username could potentially be seen as insensitive or inappropriate by other users of the website, and could create a negative impression or atmosphere within the community.
Second follow-up prompt: Is it a likely interpretation that the user wants to express that he considers his opponents to be losers, whom he wants to abuse?
ChatGPT: It is difficult to say for certain without additional context or information about the user's intentions, but the username "loser_abuser" could potentially be interpreted as implying that the user intends to abuse or mistreat their opponents in some way. However, it's important to note that usernames can be ambiguous and open to interpretation, and it's possible that the user did not intend for their username to be interpreted in a negative way. In some cases, users may choose usernames that are intended to be humorous or ironic, or that have personal meaning that is not immediately obvious to others. Regardless of the user's intentions, it's important for websites and online communities to have clear guidelines around appropriate usernames and to enforce those guidelines consistently in order to create a welcoming and respectful environment for all users.

To solve the database problem, Lichess should do what Discord does: Assign all user accounts a unique number. Then let people have “display names” that show up instead of that number. Just as currently your username links to your profile, so this number would come with a command to “fetch” the current display name, which is then shown wherever that number occurs; but whereas the name is changeable, the number is permanent. So your account is always uniquely identifiable. :-)
I don’t know how hard this would be to implement — probably nontrivial — but it should be no more difficult than allowing people to add an avatar or signature to their posts, which can likewise be changed everywhere at once on most forums which have such features. (IIRC, it’s similar to frames in HTML: your profile link is essentially its own mini page, and whatever is written on that page loads along with whatever is on the main page, it’s just fetched separately, like an image.)
Indeed, it’s even worth considering letting people give their own nicknames to other users, which only they can see. For example, I could call myself Me; or, if I play with a real-life friend, I could give him his first name for a nickname, just to simplify my own interactions here. (If you know lots of people IRL and on here, it can be hard to keep track of who’s who.)
Naturally, there would need to be some constraints. E.g., you can’t use someone else’s current display name, as that could get confusing; and you can’t use certain filtered words. (If they deem it necessary, they should block both “loser” and “abuser” outright. Alas, this may need to extend to constructions like l0z3r as well. Good luck thinking of them all.) ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄ It may also be necessary to limit how often people can change their name, since doing so multiple times a day could get out of hand. Finally, display names for accounts that have been closed should become available again.
An exception may need to be made for the names of open-but-inactive accounts. :-/ But a number could still be assigned to all active accounts — not unlike how YouTube recently rolled out unique “handles” for each account there — and of course all new accounts would get a number right from the start. So, even if the system doesn’t work retroactively, at least it would work for all current and future users.
Say what you will about the logistics, sooner or later Lichess will need to do something like this, since (as others have observed) the current system isn’t very future friendly. Most importantly of all, this would honor the basic right of longtime users in good standing to retain their accounts, even after fashions have changed such that a word is no longer PC which used to be, for example. (Reflect that “retard” was originally coined as a *polite* way to refer to people with certain disabilities. It no longer has that connotation, because — wouldn’t you know it — euphemisms always come to have the same meaning as the words they replace. This is one reason that, in the long run, censorship is futile. [I could list a few other reasons, but that’s off topic.])
Under the current system, such seniority unfortunately counts for very little, and that isn’t good for business. ;-( It could result in decent people leaving this platform to play elsewhere — and I think that’s something we ought to strive to avoid, as a community where ideally all are welcome (provided they don’t cheat, or actually abuse others in some way). We need to reassure people that, when they are good citizens and have invested years in their account, it will still be here tomorrow.
Just my 2¢. (Or was that $2?) ^_^

this is so stupid they are banning a lichess account that surports them. Thats like throwing money in the trash. And I don't see a threat in the username.
