We finally received the first official answer so there is no final decision yet and we can only wait .

UPD 27.03.2023: Happy End. I stay =)

Hello! I'm still alive =)

Over the past 2 days I have received a lot of messages in private messages, a lot of words of support, a huge thank you to all of you! I really didn't expect such support from people I didn't know...

A lot of people continue to be interested in what interest the process is, so I want to create a separate post for this.

We finally received the first official answer so there is no final decision yet and we can only wait .

If I am not blocked, I will write in my information the value of my nickname, for those who have questions and suspicions about my nickname. I think it would be right...

This is just self-irony. I never meant to offend anyone or call others losers. These words are quite common in the world, we hear them everywhere. And if a person does not call other people losers (or abusers), it was never an insult.

The problem of interpretation is a very subtle thing. If we want, we will find insults in almost every nickname. It really is. Somewhere the interpretation will be on the surface, and somewhere deeper. In my case, the fact is that in 3 years I have not seen a single complaint so far, on the contrary, I have seen many reviews about how cool and funny this nickname is. Of course, someone did not like him, but no one considered him offensive and a reason for blocking. During this time, my nickname was seen by tens of thousands of people, and maybe more, since I often placed in the top 10 in daily tournaments for 30 seconds. If my nickname was really offensive, he would not have lived so long.

Even now, if you read the forum, the vast majority are against blocking my account, and even people who don't like it don't see anything offensive in it. The topic on the forum was seen by several hundred people, and only 2-3 of them consider my blocking correct. I think a huge number of nicknames would receive more negative reviews than mine if it was put up for public discussion. We are not able to please everyone, this is a utopia. Someone doesn't like movie characters, someone doesn't like alcohol, someone doesn't like historical figures. If there is freedom of interpretation, there will always be people who interpret the nickname in their own way and consider it to be propaganda or an insult. In my opinion, this is a completely utopian way, let's assign random numbers and letters to people, and build our own 1984 according to Orwell.

By the way, if someone is offended by someone else's name, you can play in blind mode, for touchy people, there is a mode. The rating will not be visible there either, which is great, because many may probably be offended that the opponent's rating is several times higher.

I may not understand much, but I understand one thing for sure. For 3 years, several tens of thousands of players saw my nickname, and there were no complaints about the nickname. And this is a fact. It is quite obvious that if he deserved a ban, then there were many complaints about him and they wrote to me about this at different intervals. And this is also a fact.

Yes, I sometimes had short blocks for several tens of minutes (maybe 15 minutes ..) due to chat messages, mainly due to large messages on emotions. Maybe someone misunderstood some messages, I somehow wrote the word "loser", and forgot to mention that I'm a loser and I was quickly banned) But I never had a goal and desire to insult people in chats or laugh at them.

All I want is just to keep playing with my account...
