My boyfriend has a lot of characters with 'Ho' in their name. Well, he used to anyway.
I'm surprised he hasn't had to rename them.

No, I choose fantasy sounding realistic names. It's just the way I play.

I find it interesting how you talk of Anet and that they should allow "adult" names. Yeah, and poop and titz in a name really shows how mature you are.
I have not been banned. Nothing bannanle about my names. I wouldn't mind being though, over two of them. Really sick of those names

2 issues.
1. Any name chosen is up to the interpretation of the reader. There is often a fine line between creativity and what can be constituted as offensive.
This issue here is actually not much different to what happened in the article below.
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/18...are-phall.html
If a child not exposed to any form of bad influence ( Racism, vulgarity, perversion ) is just exposed to these names for the 1st time, would he actually connote anything bad with them ?
The only thing that tells me is this, people need to have their brains or eyes scrubbed with radiator fluid, if they intend to intepret something in an offensive manner.
2. Double standards anyone ? Creative readable names are bannable on the grounds of pervasion, yet dancing around semi-naked by a visual avatar isn't ?
Tells me only one thing. Either Anet peeps 'rocket ships' ( Reference to the article above ) reaction to the reading of certain "words" proves to be a greater catalyst or reactant, in comparision to a visually *debatable image.
Sigh, the world is indeed coming to end, when humans are offended by what is read, and yet, not what is seen. Time we all went blind in our senses.

Please get that your ingenious thought out names just are a sign of immaturity and stupidity. |
I just use a variation of 'dunk' in most my names.
Not been banned yet! :P

Are "Phalus Envy" and "Still Born" offensive names?

For some reason, I find so-called 'creative' names among the most uncreative of the lot, right there with all the 'I Wtfpwnjoo's and 'Xyz Naruto Zyx's.
Although I'm not offended or even annoyed by names that are created with the specific intention to titillate, I'm still quite happy with ANet's current policy. Knowing the average maturity of the playerbase, without ANet weeding out stuff as necessary the place would be overrun by players named 'Shiz Cockz Lololol" and variations thereof ...

This is what happened to me:
B I T C H From Hell : Banned
Good Girl Gone Xxx : Not Banned
They can spot an offending name with spaces in between but they didn't find Xxx

If my ele can shake her tits everywhere and THAT is ok, then why is a slightly offensive name a bannable offense? Personally, if your a male warrior and your dancing naked I should be able to have you banned because I dont want to see 3 warriors acting out their gay fantasies in a game. |

But anyway, I dont like the "creative" names anyway. When I see a character named "Wanna hold my Xxx" or "dick slapper" (in RA yesterday), I automatically place the player in the honorary category: probably 12 years old and not worth my time. I dont report, but I dont take them serious either.

As for me I got the name Im Bubba banned. Mostly because I was supposedly "harassing" that mesmer ball but that's a bunch of BS.
I did see a name in Shing Jea once... I Wanna Buttfox. I hope that didn't get banned cause that name is pure gold.
pumpkin pie
/goes to report.
I once saw a conversation involving donuts and sex and someone was trying to ask them not to discuss that in open, because of the explicit contents they were talking about... not good the out come was not good.
Shing Jea needs to be flooded and all the explicit talks talker need to be killed. :P~
lol, on topic
whoever report my character's name for ban will be banned themselves. lol for misuse of the ban command.

People which create characters with such retarded brainless names, that try hard to be "funny" imo cry only for recognition, because they are in RL the total loosers that receive no recognition.
With such immature names full of stupidity all those people scream only out loud for recognition like
"hey joo, look all at me, what a retarded name my character haz and it still got not banned *gigles* 111111111eleven ain't I'm teh greatest PIMP with my super immature vulgary offending name ???
GIMME RECOGNITION !!!
The same now here, here now post all thsoe losers their names , that got banned for obvious reasons and QQ about, that they can't play their characters with these retarded names and search here in this thread only for recognition. There I myself must ask me:
Who the **** interests it, if someone named a character Hoe pimper or somethign similar vulgary and got the deserved ban for it...
You all know the rules of Guild Wars, you accepted all them with the EULA and when you break the rules, then LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING A PERMA BAN.
Imo Anet works still way too less against such retarded names, the word filter is way too outdated and doesn't get actualized, what is really pitiful.
Plus anet does nothign agaisnt all those idiotic Xxx blah bla Xxx names ect. and whatever people try to give characters for shit as name.
All those charas with xxx in names should get forced to rename charas too, if it would go after me XD at least for PvE Characters.
How people name their pvp charas is somewhat of regardless, but the filters for Pve chara names have to become imo much stronger, so that it will be really only possible to create names, that look and sound really like a fantasy name, without any hided insults in the name, countless of xxx's or other retarded crap that doesn't belong into a characters name.

I haven't been banned yet, but ive gotten threats from noobs saying there going to report my ele, X Emo In My Pants X.

Yah. Got the 70-hour ban for my pvp name 'Shiit Riit'. Got the pre-approval for 'Sheet Reet'. That's when I realised this game is made and run by americans.
The forth fly
im not from the USA,i find the word retard a lot more offending than any 1 with the word TIT or ASS in there name btw ASS=donkey ARSE=Hole
Turtle222
Do you really need a borderline offensive name?
all my characters have serious contextual names.

So far I haven't been banned for names - I don't seek problems with that anyways. If you find "Xander The Ranger" and "Brodda Buddha" offensive, there's a problem. A couple people told me they reported my paragon's name, The Xandergasm, when I was in Kamadan talking with someone, but I still have the character. I don't find it offensive, really...
However, one of my friends has the worst tastes for names; won't name any right now, but I wonder how the hell he got away with 'em... been over 2 years and I still wonder.
I partially agree with you here. As much as I don't like the Xx Xo O blablablabalab O characters... as long as they're not offending, meh. Don't really care, if they like their characters it's all that matters. And once in my team, if they can play it right.
And yet I like my names even though they're not "real-sounding". The Xandervish (obvious profession) is still one of my personal favorites 'cause of the pun, that's about all. I thought about real names for him but meh, doesn't suit me... I'm not a RPer at all, I don't care for my guy's personality and his background, I use him to kill stuff just like I use all my other characters. Why should I make him RP-sounding while I don't care? To satisfy other people's view on this game? Nope, sorry. You don't play on the character, GG. I won't go on yours and make you name it some way.

A lot of those names dont deserve bans, i saw a guy called "Seaman Stains" around in great temple which i thought was a funny name.
A guildie of mine was trying to get banned for ages before he quit, he would go into german districts and spam SIEG HEIL on characters with names like "Aids Nigg Er", also had bouts in 6v6 HA where he would make a build with 6 bonders and just grief teams to resign with 3+ hour waits while abusing them in local chat and none of that constituted a ban.
It seems that racism, anti-semetism and facism are fine aslong as you have Naruto in your name somewhere.
I understand that the roleplaying community would like people to have names like "Legolas Bravebeard" but how boring would the game be if everyone just pretended to be characters from fiction novels or wapanese porn cartoons.

Does anyone know if there is a "strike" policy? I think that if you are found to have offensive names (or are being verbally abusive) too many times you should just be perminantly banned and spare everyone else from your stupidity.
Only name of mine that could be remotely offensive is Mayor Poopenmeyer. But that's a Futurama reference, so if you have a problem with that you can RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO off.

"i saw a guy called "Seaman Stains" around in great temple which i thought was a funny name."
ok, time to fess up, myself.
Banned once, back inthe Proph-only days, for a mesmer named Seaman Staynes. (Only one of my chars to ever get a black dye in Pre-sear, less than 2 hours after making him.) I realize that name was a little outre (though less so than many names I see being used) and I got a 72 hour ban. Was actually kind of relieved - you know, you do something you think is funny but then think that maybe it wasn't a really good idea after all. So I got to rename him something I liked a lot better (and was totally innocuous).
The really funny thing, though, it that 2 years later, NF comes out and there's a quest in it called "A Sticky Operation" where you fight a bunch of corsairs identified as "Corsair Seaman".

The problem is that only English names are getting banned.
There are quite some Dutch kids walking around with dutch names that are way more offensive than most names I have seen so far in this topic. Sure, only a minority of the people can read it, but it is still annoying if you are in a group with Big Digggg and my tits are the best and more of those names.

I know someone who got a temporary ban for "Lookat My Boobies." The ironic thing is that he felt bad about that name long ago, but didn't want to totally remake the character. He had been asking again and again for a name change option, and finally got one when he was reported!

Hmm what about all the Korean names. They use symbols... what does ANET do about that? Just curious....
I still feel some people are way too uptight about names. I play the game and spend as little time as i can in any town. I like to complete missions and quests. It seems like alot of people spend the majority of their time just hanging around talking. Between the scrolling sales in trade and the kids fighting over who has the better armor ect ect ect, i am always happey to exit these daycare centers lol.
So for me, maybe the Charr found my name offensive and they compained.
Since i was banned, i have changed all my names to Chinese, Viet and Thai names. Lets see how well they can catch on now. Come and get me ANET ( also known as big brother )
Would be nice if they added a " change name feature "
