Profanity Filter?

If your company does not want profanity in character names, then why not put a filter in when creating a character name. I love the game, but my friend has had to change his name twice and has been threatened with a ban. It just seems like if you dont want profanity at least put a disclaimer in. Other than this small grievance, this is the most entertaining game I've played in years. Keep up the amazing work.

Personally, I think people should just deal. Through out life, you're going to run into things you find offensive; whether it's on the street, watching TV, or playing a video game sooner or later there will be something you find offensive. Just ignore it and move on.

If GGG decided they don't want profanity in user names, then yes there should be some kind of filter that prevents. If your friend got warned twice a threatened with a ban, it sounds to me more like he's trying to be edgy as opposed to just making a name he wants.

cant post harmless stuff like this too

Well ok there may be a disclaimer, but a profanity filter would still save time for GM's and players.

People not being retarded with names and communication in general would save even more time. Don't see that happening either, do you?

But that will never happen

I'll say the following again -

I don't understand the reasoning behind disallowing rude / offensive name in a game with full frontal nudity.

You don't have to understand it.
