My name was changed and I lost karma for no reason.

I just received a notification that my name was changed and I lost karma for no reason. I received no email to appeal that and was given no reason why this was done other than it was "inappropriate."
My name contained no offensive words or phrases. My name was changed from Nick_the_digger to the_digger. How is it inappropriate to have my first name in my screen name?

I can only presume that a bot identified your name as being a racial slur.
Take the first two letters from "Nick", now add the end of "digger".
Unfortunate and accidental.

No such things as bots. Nor was this unfortunate and certainly not accidental.

Why would you think he did this deliberately?

It is in answer to your presumption that "a bot identified your name as being a racial slur".

Fair enough.
I meant that "the digger" seems to have picked this name in good faith and hadn't intended to cause offence.

Seriously, this is the only time I've had trouble with this username. I use it for most games, it was my nickname in highschool ffs. I feel like some mod decided to troll me by trying to get offended and guys like this just make it worse. Who else but a racist sees something like that and assumes the worst of people?
