Lichess blocked my account because of a female nickname.

#1
That's what they replied to me after blocking: «This includes sensitive topics, disparaging usernames, sexism, racism, bigotry, adult language, or usernames otherwise likely to cause harm or offence»

So that you understand, I had an ordinary female nickname that can give out any randomizer of names, there was no hidden subtext in the nicknames, but you know what the funniest thing is that there are just hundreds of such nicknames in the game like mine, and no one blocked them, there is literally 1 in 1 nickname like mine, but without the numbers 01 are like mine at the end, and no one bans them, moreover, there are players with really negative nicknames, like Sadam Hu ..., Adolf G..., and no one blocked them)))

And instead of putting some kind of limiter when creating a nickname, or giving me the opportunity to change my nickname, they just closed my account on which I played for a long time with my friends)) From all this, I realized that the rules work here only when the admins want it, because I was shut down, and other players with exactly the same nicknames and even worse are not blocked))

Or maybe the admins should create a database of names that cannot be used in nicknames? Or what if i write my real name and surname, and it turns out that once, somewhere with that name there was a person who starred in adult films? and i will be blocked.

What does even mean "female nickname"? Put it here.

I'm afraid to write completely, otherwise they will block this post, but I will write it encrypted : "M*a_M*lk*va1"

Not a moderator but:
Adolf and Saddam are normal names and not inherently linked to Hitler and Hussein.
Your name isn't a "female nickname" it's a pornstar's name. I'm not going to comment on whether that should be allowed as a username but you should be upfront about what it really was.

As for Adolf and Sadam, I didn’t write it on purpose so that I wouldn’t be blocked) but so be it, I’ll drop these nicknames

this too can be continued indefinitely. Then explain to me why I am banned, but other players with the same nicknames are not banned, or do our rules only work at will???

Some years ago, i was running a local web forum of basketball fans. One of the things I hated most about the experience were trolls who found weird fun in testing the borderline cases and pointing out that "You blocked [this] now but you let [that] pass before, this is inconsistent!" Are you one of those people? Do you find enjoyment in annoying other people and wasting their time or do you believe the moderators have nothing better to do?
#8
WTF man? all the accounts you listed are closed!
#9
So what was your female nickname? Mulva? Nagina? Dolores?

Also, there ain't nobody calling their kid Adolf any more.
