I have a team member who just joined ... who has used the Team Name as his own name. You don't arf get 'em.
Hopefully he will change his name to something more appropriate. My question is ... What is to stop people registering on your team with a rude name? As a team Captain I have no contral as I would as a Mod in a forum ![]() |

I quote from the rules:
Member and Team Names Policy Member Names and Team Names may not be obscene, hate motivated, sexually explicit, express intolerance of others by denigrating others for their race, gender, beliefs, religion, preferences, or disabilities or use any name that is a trademark or trade name of, or is owned by someone other than you. Team URLs may not point to a website which features sexual content, gambling, or intolerance of others. In addition, Members may not represent themselves as other Members or as employees of World Community Grid. World Community Grid reserves the right to remove or require you to remove any hyperlink you have included to any third party site that the World Community Grid in its sole discretion considers to be offensive or objectionable. In the event you include a hyperlink to another site, you will make it explicit that World Community Grid is not responsible in any way for that site or its content. If this naming policy is violated, World Community Grid will make an effort to contact the member or in the case of teams, the team captain via email to ask the member or team captain to change the name so that it adheres to the naming policy. If, after contacting the member or team captain, the Member Name or Team Name continues to violate the naming policy, World Community Grid will remove any Member Names or Team Names that in its sole discretion it considers offensive or objectionable and replace them with temporary names in a "Member12345" or "Team12345" format. Each newly assigned Member Name will be e-mailed to the Member, who will then have the ability to choose an appropriate name by returning to his or her Member Profile page. For newly assigned Team Names, the email will be sent to the team captain. HTH ![]() |

Hello VAIO GRX616,
That is a great answer. I wish that I had thought of it. I have been scratching my head wondering just where that policy is stated. I cannot find where it is on the site. mycrofth |

Hi Mycroft!
