Hi @ILuvCatsSoMuch ,
usually it's not easy to find out whats causing censoring/suppressing your own messages, the rules are not public.
If it's your username itself, this can usually be verified by someone else trying to type it in chat; if it's replace with ****, you know that's the problem.
I did that, and both your old and your new name are not allowed, so everything you type is not displayed.
(I had the same issue some time ago and had to change my account name after >12 yrs.)
And as it seems, every word containing "gum" (!) is forbidden (and even the word itself) .
So you will have to choose a name without that word (and best let someone else try to type the new choice first to verify it's allowed this time).
Good Luck!
