RULE 6.1READING / 3 PARAGRAPHS

Names, Avatars & Profiles

Display names must be reasonably mentionable and distinguishable. Profiles, avatars, banners, bios, pronouns, statuses, and decorations must comply with the same content rules as messages.

Blank or invisible names, disruptive Unicode, names that imitate channel or system UI, and profiles designed to evade filters or attribution may be reset or restricted.

Staff may require a profile change when it violates rules or creates operational confusion. Prompt compliance usually resolves the issue; restoring the content or refusing a reasonable direction escalates it.
