Don't make stupid names, don't do stupid things, because it makes you look stupid.

Hell, I wish I could have someone report some of my character names just so I can rename them something else a little more original.

It's not my fault Anet doesn't review the reports any further than they do. If I find it offensive in some way...oh well such is life. It's getting reported. If Anet wants to jump at it just to "save face", oh well. Talk to Anet about their 3day bans just because one person reported it. Make them change it to "change the name or you get the ban". I'll be fine with that...I just don't like my gaming experience cluttered by narutards, 1238979871 X Worrior X, X Sexy Bish X, X Spear Chucker X (yes, i saw that, and yes I reported it), and other idiotic, racist, childish names spamming the trade/local chat. Be original, be mature, and have your fun at the same time. If you feel the need to make a toilet humor/racist/idiotic name in order to have fun, go play WoW where I don't need to see it.

Really? You made a stupid name -points at your guru name-, you do stupid things (report people for humor that everyone who is human has), so you must look stupid.

My guru name is stupid? How so?

I'm stupid for reporting offensive names? How so? How are offensive names humorous? You find humor in a character named X Hershey X Squirts X? If that's even a possible name. If so, then you sir need to grow up.

In all honesty i dont know if you are a stick in the mud douche in real life. You might even be a cool person (unlikely but possible).

Which is a pretentious little guy who feels he has to regulate or determine how others should have fun and what others should consider as humorous.

In other words, we all must conform to your definition of what is fun and what is humorous. Diversity is a bad thing. Wait, scratch that, Diversity is a good thing as long as it doesn't differ from your opinions and point of view.

But what you dont understand is that if it is not His version of humor then its not acceptable. He is the regulator of what should be funny. From now on before anybody makes a name that might make someone laugh we should all run it by A11Eur0 first just to make sure that it is acceptable in his eyes.

Internet personalities are in no way a guaranteed representation of a person's real world persona...but I'll tell you this: I'm a 28 year old married man who has gone through life acting the way I act and have not had any issues of being "punched in the face". You see, when someone annoys me in real life, I do speak up about it. I let them know that they're annoying me. The advantage of doing this in real-world scenarios is the fact that you're face-to-face with them and they don't usually resort to childish name-calling. I've never been called a "fkn noob" to my face.

As for minding someone else's business...it's everyone's business when they put it out there to see. If you saw someone running around Kamadan spouting racial epithets and toilet humor, would you play along or report them for verbal abuse? Or neither? If you would join in, you're no better and you need to grow up. There's more to a sense of humor and fun than being an ass-clown. As I said before: if your idea of having fun is making a toilet humor or racist character name, you're pathetic. If you report them for racism and verbal abuse, then you're a hypocrite. Making a name is just like running around whatever town you're in spamming it. Every time you chat in local, you're shoving your immaturity into other peoples' faces.

If you do neither, then you merely contribute to the problem because you don't help Anet clean up their game and make other offended individuals have to read the drivel.

eh not so much.. There is a huge difference between running around spouting insulting racism verbally abusing other people than just having a silly character name such as "Sum Yung Tart" for example. So you seem to be blurring the line between harassment and humor. I have reported people for spamming racism over the local chat but have never reported someone for having a funny name. One would be an apple and the other is an orange. So your label of hypocrisy is completely misplaced.

I just have better things to do than to spend my time tabbing through character names in town to find who may have a name that just might be considered as not acceptable. Like i said pretentious. Because we all know what ANet will ban a name even if there is nothing inappropriate about it. If you want some examples just look as some of the previous pages of this thread. (Felicity Frostbite)

But you dont have to explain anymore. After you stated that you are married i can understand why you take the role of "tattle tale" and "regulator of appropriate behavior". I'm not going to explain why i understand, ill just say that i do. Ill let Forgotten 200 touch on that point since the Pedabear could probably explain it better.

I don't have sessions of searching for offensive names...where did I say I did? If I see someone with a name like that pop up in local chat, I take 5 seconds to /report that name. Oh well. Oh look, I just saw one on GToB while buying zkeys. brb.

Ok, done.

As for Felicity Frostbite...that's ridiculous that someone would take offense to that. Hell, I'd probably name a character similarly. Sum Yung Tart...anyone who has any experience in the real world knows the pop culture behind the "sum yung" nameset, and the "tart" finisher just makes it worse. "Sum Yung" is way too popular as a joke name for the stereotype of young asians all looking alike to be a misconstrued typo, it's all but obviously intentional. Adding Tart to the end adds in the dimension of "young lookalike prostitute"...also a stereotype of asian culture: "Me love you long time" ring a bell? The report was justified.

As for claiming that my being married makes me prone to "tattle"...that's just ridiculous. And saying you're not going to explain why only shows your ignorance more. Good one. Now it's a bad thing to be in a relationship with someone? What's the matter, can't get someone to do the same?

Can't believe this thread is still going/got rezzed...

Ummmm best I've ever seen that comes to mind is M E S B I A N

Personally I hate the idea of the thought police having the power to get people banned, but sadly this is the case.

And yes I have I's, X's, O's, and others on my names. Out of five million sold copies of this game, sadly, some of my ideas were taken already. I guess that makes me retarded and un-original. *shrugs* w/e

I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about my names really.

If some of your ideas were taken, obviously they're not original. I've never had a name that I've thought up taken, even when they're taken directly from some form of popular literature.

Gunslinger Burritos...it's a stretch but anyone who knows the book series I'm referring to will recognize it.

daze...i'm alone in this argument because Guru is populated primarily with immature little punks who do find humor in racial epithets and toilet humor. That's alright, numbers don't win a battle. Then again, you're a fool if you can't see his sarcasm. Look at my posts and his character names.

You think you're laughing because of your funny name? Well, once we get laid due to our report accomplishments, we will be the one laughing in the end.

PM either me or A11Eur0 BEFORE creating your name. We will send you a PM back whether it is acceptable or not. If you fail to do so, it could possibly be a name we will not condone so we will have to report you.

Some things to keep in mind (thanks A11Eur0),

- No racism. (serious)
- Be original. (ex. Don't use Leeroy jenkins, Chuck norris, Naruto, etc.)
- No childish names. (ex. Teletubies for you, Barnies, family guy related names, etc.)
- No toilet humor.
- And many more!

Ok i was wanting to create a new character named "Phun Nazi" im not sure if it would be considered appropriate or inappropriate. I have never met an Asian German so i don't even know if they exist, and those are the only people whom might take offense to that name. I was wondering if that is alright with you.

i used to have a paragon named Spear Chucka, and honestly, it's not meant to be a racist name, it's a joke on what their job is, you're the one whose racist for seeing a simple pun as being geared towards racism, you my friend are the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing racist.

As for names i've been banned for I used to have a rit named I Cant See Shlt, i got banned, renamed the rit, then, funnily, some other douche stole the name and has gotten away with it since.

Immature yes... but seriously, it's a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing video game, leave the maturity act at the door because in the end video games are meant for fun, not for suits, or douche fgz in their mothers basement being the funny police.

Ruh Roh another e-badass resorting to profanity to make their point.

I like how using the fact that it's a video game makes people think they have a free pass to be ignorant twits.

Not meant to be racist yet the fact that the general term "Spear Chucker" was a long-time racial epithet had no bearing whatsoever on your choice of name? Oh, and I'll bet you made the character dark-skinned with corn-rows too?

It's not racist to see racism in a widely-known racial slur being used in such a blatant form.

As for your ritualist...did you think that name was going to fly? And how do you know the old name is taken? Since you had that name already, it very well might be still assigned to that character even though the character's name is different. I had a character on my account that my brother-in-law was using before he got his own account. I deleted that character and he tried making a character of the same name on his own account...wouldn't let him. Try again, maybe it's available. If not...that person is probably due for a ban eventually too. It's a direct bypass of Anet's language filter. This is why I have no qualms about people using profanity, because it can be, and by default IS, filtered. If people remove the filter, that's their choice. Nobody made the choice to name your character but you, and by naming it that way, you're forcing your profanity on others.

no, it was white and blonde. The fact that you instantly jumped to that conclusion proves you are just as ignorant as those you try and shun.

If you believe in racism you are the racist, race is an illusion and does not exist, It'd make you shit bricks to know that i was african american and had corn rows yeah?

and as for being an e-badass, i hardly believe you would have the balls to have the condescending uptight high horse RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO tard tone in your voice and be a douche to everyone if it wasn't the internet.

The one i reported was black...I couldn't remember the exact name, so I was guessing that one was you. Then again...what's to say you're telling the truth?

Don't give me that "if you see race you're racist." Sometimes that fits but you can't deny the fact that it exists. How is it that people who defend "minorities" are racist themselves? That makes no sense. If I'm white and I defend african americans by calling out someone making racial epithets, I'm a racist? Against whom...other whites? Please...The racists are not the ones recognizing a racist remark or a racial undertone in an online character name, the racists are the people putting it out there to be recognized in the first place. Having an awareness of something doesn't make the person who is aware a participant.

And it doesn't matter what you believe...because I do act similarly in person as I do here. I don't make too many friends but I honestly don't want to make friends with people who become targets of my personality. You seem to fit that bill. The friends I have are quality, share my viewpoints, have and will in the future agree with me in this matter.

as for telling the truth, what reason would i have for lying, it's the internet, what reason would i have for lying, it's completely anonymous, so who cares.

And as for the "if you see race you're a racist" thing, it's true, if you see people as being a different race than you then you are the true racist, race is an illusion, human beings are the most genetically similar species on the face of the planet, if a simple difference in hereditary traits warrant defining someone as a different race then i have one thing to say "darwin be damned", little bit harder to argue with charles darwin than it is to argue with me eh?

Anyone who says they do not wish to make friends is a person crying out for friends, and telling themselves that they don't need them to reassure them that they've made the appropriate choices in life and are no less than anyone else simply because of their deficit in friends is lying to themselves, all people are drawn together, regardless of what they try to tell themselves. Just like the same reasons birds fly in flocks and gorillas live together in communities, without each other we die.

You do that...because i deleted that character a long time ago. Congratulations.

Joe Fierce...your claims about my personal life have absolutely no bearing on this discussion, they're just some form of incorporeal ammunition that you as well as other childish people seem to have to resort to in order to remain a factor in any argument. In short: my life is none of your business.

daze...no I did not bring up the example of skin color because it's a stereotype, i bring up that example because that was the specific description of the paragon I reported by that name. Learn to read.

Joe Fierce...your claims about my personal life have absolutely no bearing on this discussion, they're just some form of incorporeal ammunition that you as well as other childish people seem to have to resort to in order to remain a factor in any argument. In short: my life is none of your business.

you're the one who brought your personal life into as you started rattling off about your high standards you seek in those you befriend and gave a hint that you didn't wish to make friends in the statement in which you basically said that "you didn't wish to make friends with those who don't agree with your viewpoints or are subject to crossfire of your personality"

Please stop trying to force people to conform to what you see as fit and appropriate.

You(or someone else...I'm too lazy to go back and check) made some comment about if I'd act this way to people in person, and my comments were in response to that...so how about you check your facts son. Oh and learn to quote more accurately.

daze, if you think that name is offensive, maybe you should learn to read the book it came from and learn the context of it.

Anyway, this discussion has degraded to nothing more than me fighting a couple of d-bag children as they attempt to pin some form of hypocrisy on me and make jabs at what they presume my personal life is like.

Please dont attack someone by the circle of friends they choose. Its not in good taste.
There is nothing wrong with a group of friends getting together drinking milk whilst discussing their latest book.

I don't see any reason for anyone to report names. Do you seriously read a name and go, "Wow, I am extremely offended by that. I better inform A-net on this matter to make sure others are not offended as I was," or do you just go, "Lawl I kuld reeport dis guy nd get hem banned lulzulzulzulzzz" Just let other people do what they want.

Classy.

it's always the person who is losing who claims first that it's a waste of time to argue and calls the other participants children, even though they are just as immature for participating such an argument.

More like a middle ground..."this name is inappropriate". Resources are in place to resolve any possible conflict it might result in.

Again, talk to Anet and their one-click ban-hammer. Then again, if it's not just one report that does the trick, maybe there's something to it. If 10, or 100 people read the same thing, see the same thing, and all report it, and you get banned....maybe you should rethink your naming practices. Save the jokes and toilet humor for transient discussions with like-minded individuals instead of forcing it on people just trying to play their game. Keep in mind that even if you don't make racist comments, your name is still attached to every message you post in local/trade chat and is non-filtered.

That will never happen as long as there are self appointed police of other people. Just live with it there will always be people who will righteously justify bringing consequence upon others. All we can do is hope to troll them on a message board for 3 pages and get on with life.

The post I was referring to with the profanity was much more than a single abbreviated term. Oh, and it's usually the person who resorts to personal attacks and direct insults that is losing the argument...because they're getting desperate. I'm just tired of trying to convince people like you of how they seem to others.

A broad ended statement does not mean that i'm the first person to resort to personal attacks.

When it comes to "profanity" as you put it, i find it more ignorant to make a decision in your mind that "these words are bad", it's archaic, ignorant and superstitious than it is to just say it as an expression of how you feel, if your vocabulary is limited simply to these words then yes it's a show of ignorance, but otherwise, it's like anything else, another word.

And the same to you, if everyone else in the world seems to be arguing with you, you'd think it'd click the little light on in the head that says "hey it's not that the world has something wrong with it, maybe there's something wrong with me".

The fact that you persist to attempt to get in the final argumentative word in on this discussion proves that your immaturity far exceeds what i had at first thought it was.

It's called tact, and the ability to use mature reasoning. If you feel the need to put these words into a character name, that's different from slipping the errant profane word into your everyday conversation. Hell, I'm probably worse than half the people here for my use of profanity in everyday situations. Thing is, whether you believe the word to be merely an arbtrary taboo, there still exists the taboo in accepted society, and since you are bound by NCsoft's terms of service while in the game, you should at least respect their wishes. It's just another word, yes, but when people by and large still have that taboo about it, maybe you should use a little mature reasoning and refrain from its usage where it's not appropriate, such as making a character name around it.

People argue with me because I'm not afraid to tell them what's up. Plain and simple. People who ignore others just to "get along" and not "make waves" I feel are cowardly individuals. It's people like you who see a seemingly one-sided argument and jump in on the more populated side thinking it's the winning one that make me seem argumentative. People don't like joining in on a debate where it's one against many if they would side with the one. Me, I don't mind it. Yes, that means there's something wrong with the world, where people are too afraid of confrontation that they'd ignore it and allow what they feel is unjust or inappropriate to run rampant. Maybe that's why this world is in the shit-hole that it is, and that you seem to be directly affected by according to your avatar.

I don't join in on anything that i see as the "winning" or "more populated" side, because honestly, i'm a human being and i have my own opinion, if it goes with the grain given the current situation, then so be it, if it goes against it, then so be it. usually i find myself being against the grain, this is one of the few times that i'm actually with it.

When it comes to "knowing when it is appropriate" to act or talk a certain way, I'm one of the few people who think it's always appropriate to be YOURSELF regardless of the company you are with, and that it's INAPPROPRIATE to be a conformist. A curse word isn't going to make the sky fall, nor the pacific bubble, so get over it.

And lastly as for ignoring something and letting it run rampant, i see you being a dick head as being unjust and am attempting to stop you from running rampant. So maybe if it wasn't for this discussion, we'd probably get along alot better than you'd think.

Or maybe, just maybe. Most people have a "live and let live" outlook. In other words if it doesnt hurt anything, leave it alone.
I believe that my rights end where the next persons rights begin.
In other words, i have the right to do whatever the hell i want to do until it infringes on the next persons rights to do whatever the hell they want to do.

So if someone wants to name their character "Buck Futter" then whoopde freakin do. It doesn't hurt me or diminish my rights to do what i want. But like you said, you don't report people because you are offended by it. You report people to try to flex some sort of authority over another. Otherwise you would just let it go.
