I'd like to talk about the names of some of the people we see coming into our server . . . and how some of them can be oh-so-inappropriate. Now, I'm not usually one to get all offended when it comes to stuff like that, but some of these names I see are just . . . bad. We've all seen them, and we can all remember a few, I'm sure.
Most of the time it doesn't really bother me, but sometimes I DO have my nephew on my lap watching me play and he CAN read what appears on the screen. And a lot of times we do end up laughing at the funny names, or talking about the 'mean people' on the server and how I don't want them there, etc. and I really don't want him seeing one of these bad names and asking, "Kristen, what does [insert said name here] mean?"
I'm just wondering, didn't we used to do something about these people when they came onto our server? Make them go change names or something? I know I'm kinda turning into the 'Concerned Parent' here or something and I do know we have enough rules as it is but wasn't there a point when a name went too far we made them go change it ?

There have been quite a few names that I've seen that highly offended me. =/ I think that we should ask them to change it. If they don't leave to change it, kick them. Come back with the same name? Ban, goodbye!

Lol... I think we could work on that a little... People don't get who they're messing with, ask why it's offensive, argue, then it turns into a whole thing until you just kick them out. They come back, cause more crap, blah blah blah . . .
On the other hand, some people understand and go change it and we all move on.
The former is always most likely to happen in cases like this, which is why it usually depends on how bad the name actually would have to be before someone would go ask them to change it.

I will say this once, so listen carefully.
In the midst of a video game, the loosely constructed words that are typed into a name are not swords aimed for your heart. Accept among yourselves that you are better then them, and trying to insult you is nothing more then an attempt at evening the ground.
Kris, I understand your parental concern, but this is a rated M game. Cursing is allowed, and no child that doesn't understand what he/she is getting him/herself into shouldn't even be playing the game. I will leave you to make that decision.
While this forum is a generally good place for people to meet and discuss issues, this is one that should probably be debated in a meeting. Warhog will be there too, and we will decide if any restrictions will be set in place.
