My little sister, ChickenBobRox, wants to make a side account called "Tord_is_sexy" (because of her crush on Tord from Eddsworld) but she isn't sure whether the word sexy is allowed in a username.  Is it allowed?

Generally, usernames with the word "sexy" in them are not something we like to see on Scratch.  Our membership is made up of all ages and cultures and this is an educational site - focusing on sexual attractiveness doesn't seem appropriate for many of our members.  So we would appreciate it if you wouldn't

There's a person with the word H,E,double hockey stick in there username

You know, they don't even censor that word. They just don't encourage it.

Does this discussion need to be open still? We've resolved that sexy is an accepted but frowned upon word and we'd prefer if it wasn't used. Not much left to discuss about this...

Do you mean Helltank?

Yeah, I think he means me.   

As for WindozeNT, I know how it looks like. It looks like a normal forum style window with the words "You have been banned from this forum. The forum moderator who banned you left this message: Banned for <blah>" Btw, if you want to know how I know, I once created a fake account and trolled myself to see how fast mods respond to a report. Within a minute, I encountered a ban.

Just out of total curiosity, what does a ban look like? In a dialogue box like the HTML-in-notes prank or as a webpage like most sites? I've been wondering ever since I found  the HTML-in-notes prank (as said above).

What about this?

Ah - basically, you get a very sadistic (not really, but it's unfortunate to look at!) looking forum-style box which says something along the lines of "You have been blocked for reason X." Then it tells you to email place Y to discuss with the Scratch Team if you want to get unblocked.
