Hi guys,
If there is any confusion regarding suitable names for characters I would recommend reading the Terms of Use (https://www.pathofexile.com/legal/terms-of-use-and-privacy-policy) Specifically section 14. On a related note, if you wish to dispute your name change or any moderation that is taken against you, please contact us either via email or PM. We are more than happy to talk with you about it. I also appreciate that it's very difficult to have this discussion without crossing some lines so I wanted to just remind everybody to watch your language please. No longer works at GGG

Sometimes I forget that there are now people who were born in this millennium all over the internet.

If he was able to chose the name I'm thinking of, why wasn't there some sort of sensor to block people from at least making names consisting of the most obvious stuff. I'm sure there is a dictionary on the internet of all the top racial slurs that could be put on the block list. Preemptive moderation, it works. Lots of other people on the internet do it. Its a proven tool.

" There already is a sensor to detect this sort of thing. Its called common sense, common courtesy, and self control. Nothing else is necessary. |

" Someone who expects people show common sense in a FTP game on the internet where you could be dealing with anyone from anywhere and most any age group is not a realistic expectation. Your definition of courtesy might differ from someone who lives somewhere else than you, or there could be a communications barrier, or general lack of understanding where each side is coming from. Someone like TC shows up, makes a user name he doesn't think originally is offensive, and gets modded for it. This could have been avoided had they simply placed a freaking filter, like most other places on the internet learned to do years ago. And then you jump all over his nuts talking about how you would have done worse. Maybe you should take the time to think that maybe its YOU who are being intolerant. People aren't coming here to get life lessons or attitude adjustments courtesy of GGG, or the PoE community, they're coming here to play a freaking game. Anyone who is capable of putting things into context realistically knows I'm right. FYI, that SJW remark I made, there was sarcasm intended. Last edited by MrSmiley21#1051 on Jan 4, 2015, 12:30:24 AM
