Eh. They did RP gays or something?

Alright, this is funny, I agree.

Believe it or not, I did not realize my name can be seen as insulting, I am not a native English speaker and in my language my name means "fluvial" or "someone of the river". As you can see this fits well with my major focus choice, that's how I came up with that name and I never had any "dirty" thoughts when creating a char.

If my name was insulting, why didn't Imms deal with it ASAP? Just to have someone to make fun of? I agree if someone would use a name like that on a purpose, he probably deserves all the ###t, but actually I got kind of pissed when people started making fun of my name both IC and OOC, so I did something stupid just to give me more reasons to delete.

I am really sorry it turned out the way it did.

I did consider asking you for a rename, but by the time I noticed it you were up in the late teens or so for level and once a character is past 10 we consider it an "established" character and I'm always a little more hesitant about renaming those unless we need to. Also, while it sounded like Youpenis, it wasn't actually against the rules and I figured maybe you just wanted it to be that way. Next time, feel free to send up a pray explaining that you're not a native english speaker and did not realize on character creation that you'd made your name so close to penis. We'd rename you, no problem.

Could you PLEASE make it impossible to create a name that is remotely like "guard"?

There's another guy called Guardok running around now. He seems nice enough, but when I try to look at him, I see city guards instead.

That's something for one of the coders to address - but based on pray logs last night I did pull the guy for a name change.

Cool that you guys fixed it. I do think that it would be a useful code addition though, if done in the form where you could add further combos of letters as needed (even better if each combo that is rejected tells a player why).

There is a dozen other players that try and shoot at least one redonkulious name through the system on purpose every now and then for laughs, like an arial named Kawk or something.
