      @KOM:

      There are lots of others with pseudonyms there, so if there is a policy it's certainly confusing.

      I don;t think there is any official published policy - so as I said, such a policy would need to first be written and published, then enforced.

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

        Perhaps re-register as Иосиф Виссарионович Джугашвили or Владимир Ильич Ульянов?

        Eh… :P  ::)

            Excuse the guy from not wanting his stuff to be a laughing stock filled with nonsense.

            Did you really check your cables?

              Expecting someone to change their name/ID etc. without any justifiable explanation is unreasonable.

                I disagree - I guess it's house rules, though.

                Everyone is talking about Russian hackers and whatnot and theres bug reports signed by V. Putin.  Could you imagine someone scouring through this at some point and seeing that?

                That kind of thing isn't tolerated in serious environments, and I don't know about you but my opinion is you can't get more serious than network security.

                And hey, this would be hilarious on xkcd.

                  Would you feel better about it if it was the persons real name?  Would you still expect them to change it?  I'm sure there are plenty of V. Putin's in the world.  Silly to say they wouldn't be allowed to use their real name.  Assumingly because it's also the name of a famous person disliked by some.

                  In a fortune 100 company where user id's were, still are, constructed of first initial and first n characters of last name.  Some times it created what some might consider to be vulgarities.  So it was up to people to just be professional about it and take it for what it was.  A user id.  I say take it for what it is.  It's just a name.  Whether the persons real name or not it is still just a name.  Stop making a federal case out of it.  Mountains out of mole hills.

                    Conceptually I'm with you, contextually I'm not.  I don't want to spread devious ideas but the last thing we want to find out is there are some devious people out there submitting bug reports that may or may not cause vulnerabilities.
                    In the grand scheme of things it probably is pointless.  But in this paradigm, being IT, you are only as good as your data.  Why even bother protecting it with security if it's just nonsense?  Kind of defeats the purpose of what this is all about in the first place.  It is about data.

                      You are just being paranoid. I am not kind of "some devious people", so stop flooding here, W4RH34D.
                      The reason is just no reason or probably he is glued to TV/media propaganda and thinks that everybody who take the "Putin, Trump" or whatever  name is an enemy of world order, who knows, he can explain or motivate me better but he just does not. Not providing policy nor commenting anything.
                      As I already said I don't want any revolution here or anywhere else, just put some Terms of use or policy onto redmine site and I'll follow it.

                        I'm just participating in a thread that I am interested in and find the subject matter important and want to voice an opinion I have not seen expressed.  If you have a problem with it, then it is more likely an ego issue more than that you have a real concern.  I think you're taking this way too far.  What is wrong with treating this project seriously?

                          I don't have a problem, but I see to much useless words and this is my opinion, looks like you have a problem with it :)
                          Sorry, really nothing personal, sure you can talk anything you want.

                            Seriously? Nothing wrong, but I think, serious project should publish own rules, policy, terms of use before take any action on a user, for example pushing him to change it's name to something else other then in the UNKNOWN list of prohibited well-known names and rejecting the real issue even if it's not just as critical to crash all over. It's just unprofessional. IMHO.

                              What is this? Irony day?  It is clear you are trolling.  You have a kind of script to you where instead of contributing original thoughts I just see my thoughts though mangled by your terrible interpretation spit back at me.  What is your contribution here other than stirring up a mess?

                                  @w0w, I understand your initial confusion but no-so-much your response to the request to change your redmine username. Change it and move on…

                                  Yeah, maybe pfSense should have a detailed list of objectionable usernames or you could just assume "all rules are subject to change".

                                  Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.

                                    See you're doing it again.

                                    I don't think you understand what professional means, otherwise you wouldn't be shocked that someone who signed a bug report with Vladimir Putin on a serious project had it rejected based on that. 
                                    THEN you come on here to discuss it with just a basic college freshman "i'm offended" without any real contributions on why signing a bug report with Vladimir Putin should be allowed.  Hell I am not God, maybe there is some reason why that needs to be.  Though we've heard no real reasons.  So it begs the question - if there was no reason to it other than to be silly - it should have been rejected, harshly so that it doesn't happen again.

                                    Are you familiar with the concept of causation?

                                    Did you really check your cables?

                                      How can I be sure that today chosen name does not exists in some Jim Thompson's or whoever blacklist and issue can be pushed, rejected or just ignored for any other fictional reason. This is just precedent to think about.

                                          Who knows, may be this number can be ever pushed. For example 666 or some 13 or what?

                                            What happens in any online multiplayer game where the name is taken? OR a forum?  It makes you come up with another one.
                                            The human part in play here is you creatively overcoming a non ideal situation with professional integrity.  Add another 5 in there somewhere instead of referring to people accused of hacking the government.
