Character names

[Wrenaq_Lars]

I once wrote a post saying that I thought some of the names people were using were a bit out of order ie:cptcumface, rapetrain etc and I got shot down by many people saying that they didnt care because swearing is part of the language.
I do agree swearing is part of the language and we all swear from time to time but I still think to use such words in someones name is just childish.
Also I read the EU server rules and found this.

Behavior rules
No offensive character names. If in doubt about a name, pick another one.

So will someone please do something about the people with offensive names.
I for one dont want to see some childish name splashed across my screen every kill they make and it comments on some of the people who play the game and also the admins who do not follow the rules.
Right go on flame away I just have a little decorum (this means, dignified propriety of behavior, speech, dress, etc.)
Farewell Wrenaq.

It's always good to have a bit of decorum, you personally. You can't force others to be though. I'm not a vulgar person, but I actually find some of these names amusing. Your post is utterly pointless, the only thing that you will get is grief.

[Wrenaq_Lars]

Its in the rules, that should be it.
I have never played any online game where it is allowed.
Read the rules and it states no offensive character names and it is not being enforced.

[TomFoolery]

You are correct in what you are saying, if it is in the rules then it should be enforced. But what needs to be sorted out is what is offensive. For instance I don't find those example names  offensive at all, but then if somebody had a name walesisshit then I would be offended. Do we limit it to racism, slander or swearing? What is truly offensive about a swear word, how does it affect you?

[Wrenaq_Lars]

Like it says in the rules...No offensive character names. If in doubt about a name, pick another one.
If in doubt pick another one.
Iam not trying to be an old fuddy duddy I just cant see the point of using swear words in names, Yes use them in context of your ingame typing but not in a name where it has meaning at all.
If it was up to me all names should be in context of the game. (chadz did think about this).

Oh and isnt wookie dog cute
<--------------

[TomFoolery]

I asked what it is you find offensive and why you find them offensive?  If you see swearing everywhere, in context;why would you find it offensive out of context? The mind boggles.

He is very cute yes. I want one.

[Duerkos]

I don't like them as well. If they are offensive like medieval offensive, ok, but they are usually names just for lolz and childish.

[TomFoolery]

Yes but are you truly offended by the use of these names? Don't take me wrong here, just playing devils advocate, I find the topic interesting.

[Wrenaq_Lars]

When I swear I mean it, I dont swear in game but I understand some people will to describe what is happing to them as in life, but to use a swear word for the sake of using a swear word is just stupid to me and at the end of the day its in the rules.
Swear words are great if used at the right time for the right situation, I have only ever used the C word once in my life and the dude who I aimed it at deserved it. People who use it left right and center lose the effect the word has as a derogatory remark.

[TomFoolery]

Yes swear words have lost their impact through out the years. Bad parenting and television. We'll have to invent a new set of words.

I'll have to admit I've lost count the amount of times I've used the C word. Shame on me. Probably why I don't find these names offensive. I do get what you are saying though. As of limiting names to the context of the game, I think that would be unwise. It would remove Character from some of the awesome names, like mine for example. 

[Wrenaq_Lars]

But yours is good and srill in line with the game.

I'm offended by CptCumFace's name because my Grandfather who fought in WW2 was a Captain and he's face was made out of Cum.

[TomFoolery]

Ahhhh i thought you meant names like. "Thom the Archer Snuffer" or something like that.

Korgoth nice to add a bit of humour into this thread. Nice one, made me laugh.

Do vulgar names really bother people that much? seems kind of petty tbh, anyone 16 or over ( the age rating of the game ) should be able to see a name they don't like and forget about it. I'd understand if someones name was a personal attack on you, but I really don't see how these names can bother you so much. To be offended by Cpt Cum Face is hilarious.
