Yikes. I'm glad I don't know the reason for that ban.

i'm sure it's just because it has "rape" inside

i mean, tbc names that contain banned words inside them aren't automatically banned, each variation has to be banned individually - eg "hell" is banned but "michelle" isnt, lol

"grape" IS a common tiktok-censoring of the word "rape" though, so the connection is correct there

I was going to say I think its this, I wonder if "unalive" is banned now too?

SA i wonder if i'm "friend that's not woke enough" but I feel like stuff like this should be treated on a case by case basis and not just, totally banning Grape as a name

You don't know what incident provoked it.

Inb4 it's a bannable offense to talk about portable document format because of TikTok slang

At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, you’ve checked that you haven’t left a space in there?

DA I decided to test this myself to see if the culprit was a space and nope. "Grape" is really not allowed for the time being. I definitely suspect the tiktok censorship reasoning, I would not put it past some bad eggs making dumb edgy "jokes" like they did with "corvid" and "jar".

Sad 'cause grape is an actual FR color and some folks will name fodder with whatever color the tert is.

the thing is that it may never get unbanned because they temporarily banned "pill" because some scam bots were invading forums and they just forgot to unban it i guess

NAYRT

I thought that as well, so I went in and typed out Grape on a dragon of mine, and it said 'name not allowed'.

Wonder if something happened in the forums that went undetected? or on some bio where GRape was used in place of rape?
