This is some of the most childish stuff I've read since my kindergarten reading time. How about instead of all you people bitch, moaning, and complaining about some other toon's name that you see in passing to Hunter - YOU take the initiative to inform whoever in game that their name is offensive, against server policy and warrants a ban. Maybe if more people took this approach to the Naming Policy then we'd see less people that are past Tacvi with offensive names. Or if for whatever reason you find any given name, or find yourself frequently offended by what people name their characters, then turn off PC names and ignore them so you never have to see their name again. Everyone loves the ban stick, and having a GM deal with their problems instead of acting like adults.
This is the official naming policy taken from the EZ server rules - stickied in general discussion.
"NO BAD WORDS
Offensive words in names or public chat will not be tolerated, such as anything sexual, racist, hateful, etc."
The above is extra vague, and may reference anything from genitalia, skin color, to racial slurs and sodomy.
"PLAY NICE AND DON'T GRIEF
Do not harass players thru actions or words. Let them have their mobs, and don't spam them. If try to ruin the game for others, then you'll be removed from the game." - also taken from EZ server rules, stickied in general discussion.
Depending on the interpretation the people proposing that certain names be banned that do not "violate" the naming policy may also be in line for the ban stick as you are ruining the game for others.
"OTHER NOTES
Players that break the rules might get deleveled to level 1, suspended, banned, or have all his accounts banned.
Users police themselves with Fraps since Hunter works a lot of hours IRL. You can find a copy of Fraps very easy on the internet.
Be sure to get your easy to use copy of fraps, and keep the hotkey ready to record people. If your going to down an important boss and feel that a player may grief you, then record the fight. I know videos sizes are huge. If the boss event goes without problems, then just delete that 500 meg file that was created to record it.
Users police themselves on here. Screenshots are nice, but hard to prove that someone traveled with a train since screenshots are well, static."
This reinforces my original point - take care of the issue yourself, if you can't solve the problem in game
then whine to the GMs about your sensitivity issues.

If anyone has an issue with the names I choose for my toons then please, FOR FUCKS SAKE, have enough decency in yourself to approach ME IN GAME and express your concern/offense/bitching/moaning/complaining so that I can put you on ignore and not waste my time being a kind person to a douche bag.
And on a side note to Xiggie - if you're going to respond to someone who has an issue with source citation - cite your own source lest you appear far less intelligent then I assumed you were.
Nothing beats having the awesome reputation for being responsible for multiple bans on a free server for some petty shit. Grow up. This shit's in Rants and Flames for a reason.
