I came across a username in the flood that I found extremely inappropriate. I was wondering if there was any kind of moderation of usernames here on B.Net. Are you just supposed to report their posts? PM a ninja? Or do usernames go unpoliced?

It depends, because for the most part, the filter will block all usernames of undesirable words. If there is a specific user, PMing a mod should be fine, but don't be offended when nothing is done to solve the problem.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Probably PM a ninja. I don't know any other ways of reporting inappropriate usernames.

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

If you've ever typed in a ninja's username into the search box then you'll get loads of usernames which are aimed at insulting the ninjas. I also have wondered why they still exist.

I'm not sure that I want to publicly call him/her out. I wouldn't want to be judged on here, and I wouldn't want to do that to someone else.

I could see how this could be a "grey" area of usernames being inappropriate. But the username I came across was definitely NOT family friendly or appropriate for the workplace.

you could always link us to the thread and we can try to figure it out like a puzzle :D

I have seen a couple of questionable user names. The filter tends to be quite useless when inappropriate words are paired without spaces.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

Illicit usernames - and obvious impersonation - are usually just permabanned at moderator discretion. If you spot a bad one here, it has probably gone unnoticed, not ignored.

That's where private messaging comes in, even if you're unsure. Much more apt than drawing public attention.

I find your username inappropriate. PM a Ninja PM or bug Deej.

This. I've come across a few that I found rather offensive, but the moderators, at least in this instance, couldn't care less about what I thought. In short, unless there is somehow profanity in the username, reporting it probably won't do any good.

If you find my username so inappropriate, then I suggest you follow your own advice instead of bashing me on the thread.
