Banned for name on NA#1
« on: November 27, 2012, 11:29:00 pm »
I was banned because of my name (Niglet), yes I realise it is offensive and I would change it if I could.
However full name changes are only permitted when one retires and I am nowhere near retiring.
I expressed my disbelief that one can change their name and was banned for it, I would like to be given any of two possible... re-compensations if applicable;
1. Be granted a name change
2. Be unbanned as soon as possible
I enjoy my time on NA and being Australian, it is quite often that the server is empty so I come to have some fun on NA but due to the fact that I cannot change my name, I am no longer permitted :(.
Thank you for your time and I apologise for the offensive name but again, I would have changed it if I could.

Character Page ---> Rename.

You will be unbanned when the name is changed. And yes, now you realize you never should have taken the name when you knew it was offensive in the first place. The difficulty is of your own doing.

"Full name changes are only allowed when retiring."  :cry:
I chose it because the Australian community, as a whole, found it amusing and I didn't think about how other people would feel, my apologies.
VERY nice boy :)

Have you oh I don't know, tried changing it? Or are you just assuming it won't go through?

I tried changing it a while ago to WingDings but that didn't work so I'm assuming it won't work again.
If you assume WingDings is racist somehow (don't ask, some people say it is), when I made it I was thinking only of the font.

With name changes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so to speak. The rules state that full name changes aren't allowed unless retiring, but if you just repeatedly request it, eventually someone will give in, in my experience.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.
