It took you that long to come up with that lame post? As I recall you were got rude with someone cause they made a comment about your name. I then explained to you why someone was making a post about your name. As for greeting someone new, what you have brought to the server so far I would rather not see.

Like I said before, you'll get bored and move on.

Sorry, I have other things in my life going on besides thinking about what to post on this forum.

How do you know I'll get bored and move on? Are you a wizard IRL?

Rules are rules.
Hunter made the rules and if you believe the rules should be relaxed or removed, make a new thread.
This thread is about those whos character names are againts the RULES. Not about whether or not the rule is fair or not.

You are 100% correct.

If you really agree this is correct then you should delete all your posts because according to what your agreeing with none of your posts have been on topic.

No thanks.

Funny you would ask that of me, because in the first thread I made about AAs not working, you constantly trolled it over and over after I asked you very nicely to stay on the subject. I ended up deleting the thread because you ruined it. What a great way to greet a new member of your community.

You are simply an angry kid who needs to act like he is better than everyone else on the internet. Good for you.

I'm glad you have so much free time that you can write a short essay about me. Looks like you have me all figured out ::rolleyes::

Boy, sure is a shame that there isn't an ignore function in EQ....

What's in a name?
Something that could be of offense to people, that's what.

One of the server rules:
NO BAD WORDS
Offensive words in names or public chat will not be tolerated, such as anything sexual, racist, hateful, etc.

Not my rules, Hunter's.  Ones that people who play on the server are expected (I would imagine) to follow, else find another server to play on, or create one of their own.

Some of the names that I see flying about I find very amusing.  But that doesn't mean to say that they are not offensive to some people.

The point I brought up earlier is the plethora of swear words in public chat and on the forums. You can say the F word in ooc, you can post racist comments on the forums, but you better not name you char PoopButt or else you're in trouble!

Interesting, Portis is getting all bent outta shape here and he himself was a violator of this rule.

Boneman, I agree with your post 100%. No character name in any game has every affected me in any way (besides laughing) and it never will.

"Necrophagist" is Greek for "eater of the dead".

As for people getting really sad and offended over names, what good is posting screen shots of those people in this thread doing? If you think it's something everyone shouldn't have to see, why are you posting it here? Why don't you just PM Hunter? Getting a rise out of people is usually the reason one would choose an offensive name to begin with.

There is another thread on here where middle eastern people referred to as "sand people". So we are allowed to make racial slurs here but I can't name my character "PoopButt"?

Are you going to answer my question?

if profanity offends you then maybe online gaming is not for you.
Can always filter bad words out.
If a character name is just so bad you cant stand it then PM the admin and just dont spend time with the player.

I know plenty of young people that are mature and plenty of old and the same goes for being immature. Age has nothing to do with it.
So find what you like and stick to it but demanding other people adjust their play style to suit your needs is selfish and greedy. Unless someone named "Phatballsack" is doing shit to grief you just ignore them.

Sadly someone with an offesnive name could be "griefing" people by having that name

How so?

/facepalm

Grief

NOUN
1. intense sorrow: great sadness, especially as a result of a death
2. cause of intense sorrow: the cause of intense, deep, and profound sorrow, especially a specific event or situation
3. trouble: annoyance or trouble ( informal )

Get off your high horse.

You really let someone's name cause you "intense sorrow"? That is sad.
