Can you get banned for repeatedly having an "inappropriate" username

[Hawk Tuah Pyro]

I got reported 2 times for having a "bad" username. On the 3rd time is it possible for steam to revoke my privilege to change usernames?

Yep. At some point you'll get a ban of some sort.

You being banned for your inability to follow the rules is not 'dumb'

[Hawk Tuah Pyro]

Its dumb that its a rule though. Like if my username was Robert E Lee is it going to revive him and bring back the confederacy? Is it going bring back segregation and widespread racism? Is it going to increase lee's strength in the afterlife? all no. You people are silly

No its not

Its literally 'a rule' on every online forum on the planet

You're free to go into some darknet cespool with no moderation if you want to be 'edgy'.

Oh so you want to be 'edgy' I see

READ THE RULES

all no. You people are silly

Your inability to read the rules becuse you want to be 'edgy' is your problem. Enjoy your future community ban if you insist that you want to be 'edgy' for the sake of it'

Have there been any cases of bans for usernames though? Ive been looking and I cant find any

Rules serve a purpose, and those that want to against the system, are going to face punishment for their actions.

If you want a forum that doesn't have rules, go search somewhere else.
