Abusive deck names

So this community is self-moderated and we can downvote stupid comments. But we can't do anything about deck names that are racist, homophobic or flat stupid.
I'm tired of seeing deck names like "fuck this or that" or "niggers need to do something" on the front page.

http://www.mtgvault.com/griseldaddy/decks/allahu-akbar/

The list goes on, just go search for those keywords.
Also read some of those comments.

I would like to see a system that either filters and disallows specific keywords, or a button that lets us report names.
I'm sure vault does not want to become the racist part of the mtg community, do something about it!

Just stumbled upon those decknames myself and my suggestion would have been a way to report such decks. Maybe report them and remove them temporarily from the front page or set the Visibility Settings back to unlisted until someone has looked at it.
The big problem here is that such things take time to monitor and there are only 1 or 2 admins here.

Yes that would be a fine option

Send them to me on Facebook when you find them. I can remove them from the homepage, there's an admin only system for that already. This'll do as an alternative while we look at a bigger solution.

Is it generally the same people posting the same shitty names? (I see that's 4 different people above)

Thank you. I dont use facebook, but maybe Muktol can do so.
Hope for the bigger solution soon, because people need to be aware that they cant use such names in the first place.

I think its different people most of the time, but for example snorlax1797 uses it in all of his decks.
Dont get me wrong, some of them may just be kidding, i know, but overall there is a trend to be seen here.
Vault used to be a nicer place.

So are we not allowed to swear? Only one of my deck names swears, but swearing isnt a problem. Sure, it can be annoying, but quit making it a bigger deal than it is. Offensive names i get, but snorlax is just being dumb, not offensive.
