well i will tell you who you are to tell him not to be.......an admin of this site, someone to set an example and set rules.

i reported the name a few days ago and nothing was done about it!

I think the fact that a admin let him change his name to that just shows the maturity and professionalism or lack of that has emerged from the tf staff.

All user reports are read and evaluated. Just because nothing was done about it doesn't mean we're sitting on our hands.

You've got this all wrong, an admin didn't let him change anything. An admin, me, changed the name for him. Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn but since when does the view of the entire website hinge on the username of one particularly immature member? Maybe I've got it all wrong and I should stop right now. Maybe one person's username does dictate the "maturity" and "professionalism" of a website.

Personally, and I may very well be completely wrong again, I think that in allowing such a username shows more maturity on the part of the staff (there was not one word of disagreement with my choice to allow the name) than not. Sure, Peter's level of professionalism and maturity is questionable as a result of wanting that as his name but I fail, completely and utterly in all ways, to see how that could be translated to the community as a whole or indeed just the staff or any one person on it.

Wait, what? Lmao. So because I tend to write essays or novels when I reply or post, it's reason for me not to be staff? Um, okay... LOL! But you are right though... should have just wrote out from the start; a) This is what I did. b) This is what I said, with a reason (even though it might be right or not). c) An apology. Done. But I didn't, wish I could go back and change it.
