Title: Swear words in names
Post by: Wrenaq_Lars on March 31, 2011, 05:00:46 pm
Hate to be picky but I thought swear words were not allowed in names. I saw one today called BraveC**t, really this shouldnt be allowed as kids play this game and the C word is offensive to women.
Cheers.
Oh and I brought it up in the game to the replie I have seen worse, well I have not.

Personally i dont care whats in names :)
the games a 16 so the fact that children play it is their
parents fault why should we cater for them im 15 and
it dosent bother me seems like a needless thing to add to a list
of rules and regulations however saying that its not that hard to regulate

I think as long as it's not racial/hate speech it shouldn't matter. It's a game about stabbing people to death with swords; so I think the user base can handle some naughty words.

All this talk about children :)

When someone say "Think about the children!", i always try to think of myself in their age and i am 28 now... Well... I heard most of the "bad" words and could use them in a sentence by the age of 7. And i am pretty sure the western world did not become puritan since 80's :) I had literally no chance of hearing any inappropriate language from any media source back then... Yet it did not help.

So i am pretty sure, that if a child in 2011 see or hear some bad language in cRPG - it will not suffer a life-long scar on its gentle soul, burst into tears and hide under the bed, or get a permanent brain damage...

Personally, i prefer to play with "Tom Jenkins", "Abasi Tarak" or "Chin Jin", rather then with "asdbsdf1234", "asshole_terminator" etc.

EDIT: And to all women who are offended by "C-word": Go fix me a sandwich! And vacuum-clean the floor on your way.  :wink:

It doesn't bother me any. I heard every bad word and saw about everything there is by the time I was 8. The people with really offensive names just make it easier for me to see who is an immature moron who thinks they are a comedy superstar.

Therefore i suggest, that only names from the holy bible should be allowed, as they are all pure and not offending.

Well, the british for one time had arranged breaks for tea time in battles, and rules that only an officer was allowed to shoot another officer on purpose.

Additionally, the modern US military for example has an official (but oft ignored) regulation that forbids the use of profanity.

I can't imagine anybody who would feel offended by a name like BRAVECUNT, especially in a game where you are dressed in blood permanently, you slash people overhead with 2h axes and trample peasants with plated chargers...
I'm afraid that one day it will be limited even on how many times per minute you can breath in european union, at that time i will move to Madagaskar.

chadz was musing the idea of requiring a 20 word minimum back story to register new characters. I think he didn't because it wouldn't be fair without a full wipe (all the old characters w/o backstories, tsk tsk), but he can just add the requirement at the next log in, (like a captcha, but cooler). I feel bad for all the leet namers, it's gonna be tough I think.

Ok lets all bash the old guy for expecting a little decorum in this game oh and for those who have never heard that word it means a requirement of correct behaviour in polite society.
I know its a game involving killing and such but that doesnt mean we should lower ourselfs to childish launguage and boasting like "I know a more offensive swear word than you Hur Hur Hur".
Would you use the C word in the company of people you have just met? if the answers no why use it here? If the answer is yes then your parents should of brought you up better.

Sad to say but I have no expectation towards people's behaviour on Internet. Anonimity and freedom of speech give the right to the dullest of our teenagers to express their complexes and frustration in the open.

I guess our my old friend_BC friend has actually no cunt at home and that is what his complaint is about.

Post by: Oberyn on April 01, 2011, 09:59:29 am
It's a video game on the net. Raging and insulting is endemic. "Cunt" is nowhere near the worst thing you'll hear. It's pretty naive to expect otherwise.
I don't think it has anything to do with boasting about knowing bad words. I've called people "fuckers", "cunts", "assholes", "my old friends", etc... and been called the same. If anything I do it more with people I've known for a while than random strangers. If it's so offensive to you, there's always the mute key.

I feel sorry for guy named "raiskaaja" ingame. He got permanently banned until he changes his name. Most of you people don't even understand what the word means because it is in finnish. "Raiskaaja" means "rapist" or "raper". Meanwhile "RASIST" and all the others play as much as they can :D.

Oh and don't make your face too ugly, this could scare kids (all of you my old friends are in the nightmares of kids playing this game!)

And we should prohibit crossdressers, this could hurt children's sexual sensibility...

About role-play i'm all for it, that's a cool idea, short description of your char can give more depth.

But please, not all this puritan bs.

At least bravecunt is a word that makes sense (cunt is a very brave thing imo, letting numerous cocks pierce it on a regular bases, giving birth to a thing that makes it wider then a pre-patch xbow crosshair, etc), i think that much more stupid and pointless are the ones who cant even name themselves with a word that makes any sense (even a dirty one) instead of just randomly hitting keys across the keyboard.

Someone names their char, 'Billy_99', hey billy what's the story behind your name bud?

Billy': 'Well erm, I tried Billy but it was taken... I tried Billy_1 but it was taken, I then tried Billy_2, and then I tried Billy_3 and Billy_4 and Billy_5 and Billy_6, Billy_7.... All taken! So I gave up and chose Billy_99 HURR'

Damn that's one hell of an interesting story Billy, you've got an incredible imagination, damn I wish I could think of names like that!

He could have called himself Billy_The_Bastard, or Billy_The_BumRapist, either would be better than Billy_99, but that's just my opinion.

That wouldn't be very original either. That was William the Conquerors name before he conquered England. Pet name of course as he was called William the bastard: his mother probably called him Billy the bastard.

Would you use the C word in the company of people you have just met? if the answers no why use it here? If the answer is yes then your parents should of brought you up better.

Calling a complete stranger a cunt is MUCH less offensive than making a gross generelisation and insulting someones parents because of their offsprings use of the language. Swearing does NOT show a limited vocabulary, and in most cases, among adults, its commonplace and unnoticed. If you were so insulated from linguistic trends that the word cuntbuggerer offends you, maybe its YOUR parents who are at fault, not addapting their child to the realities of the world we live in.

Now, this is just my opinion, I think dirty names have their place in games such as CSS, where your name is temporary, but since your character is gonna have that name for a while in crpg, I wouldnt name them something that was gonna get old, BUT:

Using the word cunt infront of a stranger is NO WHERE NEAR as offensive as you could be without ever swearing: What would make you more upset, a randomer calling his mate a CUNT infront of you, or a complete stranger with perfect diction and a fine speaking voice telling you "Tonight Im going to follow you home, tie you up and slice off your loved ones genitals and feed them to you, slowly over the course of several weeks, ultimately making you eat your OWN bodyparts to stay alive, then show you the corpses of your family and let you smell the rot, then release you." I know which guy Im more likely to dropkick, and it aint the "swearer".

Personally I can read: "profanity" as it's known in the US, is part and parcel of the English language, and most common expletives date back before white men ever stood on North American land, so right winged fascist yanks should learn their history before they judge anyone else. There are so many problems in society IRL, and with this mod in particular, that the fact anyone CARES about names show how vacuous and unattached to reality they are.

Peasantly manners are easy to spot, even if hidden behind plate and high KD-ratio - and names are just names.

No, because he has not yet done any of this stuff, but is saying he is going to. My point isnt wether what he has said constitutes a criminal offence, merely, which would offend you more? The casual cunt, or the wellspoken threat? Tome, the threat is much more offensive......words are words, cunt is a word, it cannot hurt me.

Post by: BD_Guard_Bane on April 01, 2011, 07:06:20 pm
What's with all the complaining about inconsistency? So some people get banned for what might be considered an offensive name, and some people don't.

It works fine the way it is. If you want to be hilarious and name your character something that could be interpreted as offensive, but of course there is always an argument as to why it shouldn't be seen as offensive, then don't be surprised when some admins ignore it and some admins ban you for it.

I don't get the complaining. The player is the one who decides what their character is called. No-one is so naive that they don't know when they're being tasteless with their name.

Its fine, you make a choice: create that hilarious name that daringly pushes the boundaries of taste and cleverly subverts our perceptions of what is and isn't offensive, but you've also got to accept that when you do that some admin might think 'that guy's just a bit of a cunt' and ban you for it.

Here's a small tip: if you make a character whose name is impossible to interpret as being offensive, then you will never get banned for your name.

And this.

"Offensive" names...? Who decides what is offensive and what isn't?

Just let it be, the more people whine about offensive names, the more popular those names will become. There are more important things than 'clean language'.
