Creating a username

Create a username that:

• Isn't offensive, profane, violent, threatening, or sexually explicit.
• Isn't deliberately deceptive, confusing, or intentionally similar to other usernames or businesses. It should not impersonate or falsely represent you as someone else.
• Doesn’t imply the intent to harass, advertise, phish, or spam other users.
• Doesn’t include personal information such as your phone number.

We may remove content that violates these guidelines. In cases of severe or repeated violations, we may suspend or cancel an account.  For more information, please see our Terms of service.
