There is a bit of over exaggeration here. We don't suspend for a week. We suspend for 3, 24, 48 or 72 hours.
I agree with the Game Master, Projectpat, it is a good thing that the name was self-reported, that doesn't mean that our policies would not still apply though.
We do take a more lenient view towards names that are self-reported and I can assure you that the source of the report was taken into consideration but the name was pretty bad. In fact if you look at our policy overview page it is in the highest and most inappropriate category.
