The username thing is something I get asked a lot actually, I think Sudofox's (he's the main developer and the person who manages Sudomemo) reasoning for it was that it would prevent users from impersonating other people by changing their username <br><br>
It's been a while since I asked him about changing it though. Since we're working on a complete rewrite of Sudomemo's code at the moment, now is probably a good time to remind him of that :P
Regarding that Flipnote, like I said before, I think it just slipped past by mistake somehow. <br><br> I'll have a word with the staffmember who writes the Weekly News articles and ask them to make sure that they double check the winning entries, ahah. Sorry about that.
Sudomemo doesn't (and never will) have a NSFW channel for a couple reasons, really: <br><br>
The main reason is our goal to maintain the spirit of Flipnote Hatena, which is why we have exactly the same rules as they did. A couple of Hatena staff members actually made a point of contacting us to say they were happy that we kept the same rules. We want to keep on Hatena's good side since we deeply respect them and Sudomemo still relies on a small part of their server being up. (: <br><br>
The other is the technical aspect. Without getting into too much detail, while hiding a channel is pretty easy, showing / not showing certain Flipnote on pages like Creator's Room, All Flipnotes, etc is actually quite difficult due to how Sudomemo is set up to cache these pages. We don't have any way to show a warning message before someone watches a Flipnote, either, so there's really no good way to do it. \ o / <br><br>
Sorry about that. We only review what people report to us, so if something isn't flagged by several users, we don't see it. In this case though I'm guessing the weekly news team didn't listen to the audio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ <br><br>
I'll try to find that Flipnote you mentioned if I can. Also, you are totally welcome to repost your Flipnote if you censor the curse word in the audio with a bleep (or similar), then mix it into the BGM track.

No problem!! And yes, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I've just let some of the other staff know about it (:

I hope that explains it okay!
Let me know if you have any questions \ o /
