Ok, So I've had my nickname reset now too

I went on ICan yesterday and added a couple of campaign interests to my page, as well as telling the system where I lived. This is because I am genuinely interested in these campaigns, and because I wanted to case the joint prior to reccomending it to a friend of mine who's particularly interested in issues relating to trade justice etc.

I was asking for trouble: My h2g2 nickname has been reset.

Quoting the hub, the link that I was given in my email from ican:
The moderation of Nicknames

Adopting an inappropriate Nickname is not allowed, and if you do pick a Nickname that isn't acceptable, we will fail it. All House Rules also apply to nicknames, so names that are vulgar, harassing, offensive, racist etc. are not acceptable.

Please don't impersonate others. Members are not allowed to impersonate members of the public or public figures by adopting their name, or a derivative of their name, or by claiming to be someone else in the content they post.

Please note that we do not allow URLs, personal contact details, or email addresses to be included in Nicknames.

Please do not include spoilers in your Nickname. Spoilers are comments that unnecessarily give away the plot of a narrative e.g. of a film or book.
---------------
From Ican's t&Cs:

No inappropriate (e.g. vulgar, offensive etc) user names

---------------

I don't know what is inappropriate about my nickname, and I don't really care. I'm not going to bother to email ican because other people have done so and not got anywhere.

But please, if anyone in power reads this, can you do your best to sort out this ridiculous situation? I remember when one of the italics here went by the name "Crusader". Would that get moderated too? It seriously dents the usability of DNA if a user of one community, with a name that fits in there, is therefore completely unable to use another community, and, I would guess, goes quite against the point of the Single Sign On system.

Can someone please explain...?

Can someone please explain how yesterday I got to the bus stop two minutes earlier than I did today yet I arrived a work 25 minutes later? Because, well, there's supposed to be a timetable and stuff, and the busses are due every five minutes...smiley - erm
