I’m also surprised that slurs/slang/foul language in usernames is allowed unless the server is overwhelmed and things are slipping past the validation.

I think the "validation" is the mods happening to notice (usually because people who create such accounts get flagged, and dang gets notified of flags) and politely telling the person such usernames aren't allowed.
