This whole thing about What is considered Loophope for racism falls in 2 categories

Context and Personal interpretation

There are some words out there that are just derived from the N word and have a racial description , not gonna go and say the words but you get the point

And Personal Interpretation is how the staff member in question sees the name and decides to act on it . No 2 staff members will have the exact same opinion , whilst one will consider that name to be racist and offensive , the other may think " I don't see a problem with it "

For instance there is a person on the server named Nybrownie , a name that I personally see as loopholing but others don't .

I for one don't see Tigger as being loopholing as it is in fact a cartoon character , but here is when the staff interpretation comes in

You having the history of racism and stuff Henry , staff members will be quick to judge on your intentions of having that name .

That is the issue here, assuming off past experiences. A flawed staffing strategy in certain situations such as this one. Also on personal interpretation if you think the name “Tigger” is loopholing even when they have the character as their profile picture you would have to make a very large stretch to justfiy it. This instance is a borderline bias against the person because of past experience. Blatantly obvious too, because nothing about the situation pointed to him being racist except for the fact it was him! That is the only justification I have seen this entire time “It was loopholing because it John Henry.” I think that is absurd.

No ban or kick should have been issued.
