I've seen far worse on giffgaff Smiley Indifferent

People's usernames often reflect their mood at the time of posting, and if it's intended to be a one-off rant before they leave, then you get a sense of the type of discussion that's being started.

I can understand people's frustration at times, but if they can't keep it civil, then I find it best to ignore them (although a report where appropriate is always useful).

Then I hope that @Toby is following this discussion, because it's an issue that needs addressing.

Thanks for flagging @viridis.

 

Filters for usernames work in a slightly different way and our filter list is quite vast (as I used my own memory of bad language to create it ;)), but there will aways be the odd phrase that gets past. The best way to report these is privately to me, so as not to perpetuate or spread awareness of a any bad language/phrasing.

 

I'll also check ti see if any other phrases can be added.

I doubt anyone could imagine a full list of all possible variations.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
