The Name Policy queue enforces Quora's name policy. The name policy states that anyone who creates a Quora profile can use any name they want (i.e. their actual name, a pseudonym, a username, a gamer tag, etc.) as long as it does not contain hate speech, profanity, explicit content, spam, or any other significant violations. We do not require people to use their real names because doing so discourages people from participating on Quora.
The Name Policy queue includes Quora profile names that have been reported or flagged as policy violations by users or by our name filters. If you flag a profile as a violation of the name policy, the user will be asked to change their name. They will also be immediately blocked from creating or editing content, and their content will be hidden from Quora.
If you are unsure about a name, then you should flag it. This is because we would rather be on the safe side and not risk having a potentially policy violating name up on Quora.
The queue will display one profile name at a time.
Follow these steps to process the queue:
Read the name.
If the name violates any of the Name policies below, select the relevant Not OK label.
The labels in the queue appear in order of decreasing severity (i.e. Sexual Exploitation (child safety) is the most severe).
If a name violates multiple Name policies, choose the highest severity policy.
For example, if a name is both Not OK: Hate Speech and Not OK: Other, it should be labeled as Not OK: Hate Speech.
If the name does not violate any of the Name policies, select OK.
Note that the Name policies intentionally capture only the worst kinds of names. If a name does not violate a Name policy, then it is OK, even if it is nonsensical, gibberish, poorly formatted, silly, not in English, etc.
For names that are not in English, translate the name to check if it violates any of the Name policies when translated. If so, then select Not OK. If not, then select OK.
