It takes alot to offend me but Ive seen atleast one name within my first hour of playing that seriously offends me. How may I report it? Is it even possible?

I wont post the name, so dont bother asking

TIA.

I saw a guy running around last night named "C U N T", clearly trying to avoid the profanity filter.

I saw one that was "fcuk me" I think.

Aparently trying to get around some type of filter I am assuming...

Well I'm sure he'll use that argument, but it probably won't fly

Some major RPG players will have a problem with it, but I don't. If you are asked to change it, it will because people don't like names that aren't fitting the storyline/game right.

Wow, and I thought "Misogynist Recluse" was pushing the line pretty hard.

Ah well, you can be certain all of the pottymouth variations will be filtered out in fairly short order.

Carry on
I think people who use the argument of "you guys are taking things too serious" are not getting the real point. The anonymity of the internet and online games makes people do rude things that they would never do otherwise.

I could give thousands of examples but here is one.....

Your invited to a wedding. You wear shorts and a Hawaiian flower shirt. Everyone else is dressed in suits or at least slacks and dress shirt.

Are you hurting anyone? No. Is what you did appropriate? No. Are you being rude based on where you are and what your doing? Yes.

People who play a online fantasy game and name their character "Dog Fart" are not hurting anyone and its not really a big deal. But don't at the same time expect people to think its necessarily "ok" that you did it.

I understand your pain, but I guess the best thing that you can do is to just move on and basically ignore the players that are trying to ruin the fun and corrupt the community.

Probably a bunch of 10-year old kids anyways... just leave them be.
