Thread: Debate on Game Names

  1. #1

    Default Debate on Game Names

    Content
    Some topics inevitably lead to conflict and discussions tend to create heated emotional responses and unnecessarily hostile or offensive remarks. Evony is meant to be a place where people of widely differing views can come without fear of hostility, offense or lecture. For this reason, discussion in-game and on the forums should avoid highly controversial topics. Content which fails to meet these criteria may be censored or punished on a temporary or permanent basis; no complaints will be processed on these topics and, as always, the game team will have the final say.
    DO NOT use any prohibited topics, words which listed below:
    * Politics
    * Religion
    * Sex and sexuality


    Am I the only one thats offended by some names players use?

    I understand that censure of names is a volatile issue as we have folks from all religions and political backgrounds.

    BUT cuss words are censored and as the statement says, "avoid highly controversial topics" Names

    I know this will cause a disturbance as we have 18 million accounts and maybe 800,000 are actually active.

    BUT lets just respond with. if a player can use the name God then why not ASS ?

    i get very unconformable having to talk to an attacker or alliance member that has such names

    a list should be compiled and banned.

    *sigh* i too have been taken aback at the creative and potentially offensive names that people come up with. I agree that the most offensive ones should be rounded up and banned or at least have their name changed either of their choice (which could just end up with them doing it again) or just changed to lord123456789 or whatever number they are up to.

    I totally agree with this whole banning some of the names, but wouldn't this just make people make new creative ways to go around the ban? How would that get stopped?

    I somewhat agree with the OP. I think I wouldn't like addressing someone with "God" even if it's just an in-game name.

    I can almost see how the convo will go ...

    To [God]: God, are you there?
    <13:01>From
    [God] : Yes?
    To [God]: Could you send me some resources?
    <13:02>From [God] : brb
    To [God]: WTF?!
    <13:02>From [God] : Go away, n00b.

    Hmmm ... good point.

    Logged convo between God and Satan (not our forum Satan):

    To [God]: GOD, WHY DID YOU BOOT ME? WTH?!!!!111!!
    <15:01>From
    [God] : Exactly.
    To [God]: WHAT?!
    <15:02>From [God] : Hell. That's where you should be. But I doubt they'll take you in.
    To [God]: AND WHY IS THAT?!
    <15:03>From [God] : Read their intro. They don't accept n00bs.

    Pwnt. XD

    Err ... no. Satan to God. Only the name of the person you're whispering to appears at your end of the convo, right? (Unless that's been changed without me noticing hehe.)

    Not to derail, though ... I support the idea of censoring some names from being used as in-game Lord/Lady names. Yes, there will be ways to circumvent it, but at least they won't be as blatant as, hmm ... "****" for example. (I just typed the asterisks because it will be filtered here anyway XD ... feel free to replace with any vulgar words that would fit.)

    My in-Game name is Mike Hunt, perfectly acceptable on the game but not as a username on the forum it seems. There will always be ways of getting around censorship. they havent exactly got the chat filter working 100% yet have they?
