Hello,
I would like to change the username of my account exyzi to MF6. According to https://namemc.com/search?q=MF6 , a player changed their username from this to something new ~37 days ago. I believe it is being blocked by the swear filter, but don’t understand the reasoning due to akin usernames: MF0, MF1, MF2, MF3, MF4, MF5, MF7, MF8, and MF9 all being currently claimed.
Thank you for your time,
exyzi

WEB-2702 has been marked as resolved as a part of a thread that has been opened for over 5 years. Is nothing I can do about acquiring this username other than wait on this?
The bug report has been resolved as fixed. Please see the Mojang Studios Note for further on the issue
Thats very misleading. The problem isn’t fixed remotely, its just been acknowledged to be a problem.
It’s not a really a thing that can be fixed, and it’s not just a problem on Minecraft. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
Wouldn’t it make sense if a name could manually be removed from this filter? I know Mojang runs a small team, but this seems like something that would take a very short amount of time.
Thank you for your report!
