Is there anything that can be done in regards to an offensive username?

Yes, you can haxxor his account and change the password to something unguessable.

Or, just report abuse.

So, it was the user's post, not his nick that was offensive ?

Why your question "Is there anything that can be done in regards to an offensive username?" Are you such a n00b that you don't know about the Report Abuse button ?
