It is horrible how some people abuse their POWER

I support the OP .

I named my character VeryBigPenis because it describes me well , and I was forced to change my name its sad .

I see people with "fucking" in their name and they walk away free

probably because they haven't been reported or noticed by a mod. Its a risk not a gauruntee, to get reprimanded they have to see it first after all. I know what your trying to imply but logic says that's a ridiculous accusation since mods cant be at all places at all times.

'Fuckmylife' Has immunity apparently....

I'm pretty sure that name was reported and dealt with. And yes, I know who owns it.

I just checked. There were reports, and notes made. But the name remains, so perhaps it was deemed acceptable after all.

I personally don't find it offensive at all, but I've made clear I've stepped back from name report issues. GGG can handle those. :)

So I'm just wondering, would the name Retarded_Was_Alesia be considered offensive and get me muted / banned?

All my characters have been named after Guild Wars NPCs. Alesia was a notoriously retarded healer hireling and the name 'Retarded Was Alesia' is a long standing joke in Guild Wars.

unfortunately it probably would, but Jeeze it gave me a good laugh. She was USELESS.

"Late_Was_Orion", in light of his Firestorm timing...? :)

One of my Rits was called "Stacked Was Shaoyen". Every time I see the structure ____ was _____ I know I've found a fellow Canthan. It's great.

Anyone taking the name Trahearne or Kormir should be muted forever.

My argument is against a guy who is openly admitting to abusing the report function to troll people for lulz. Meh... argument dropped though.

It's not abusing when the names I'm reporting could potentially be offensive. To give an example, a more recent example involved a character with a name that meant "fat cancer n*gger penis" in Dutch.

Assuming none of the mods speak/understand the language, this would have gone by unnoticed.

Are you still accusing me of "abusing" the report function?

Why do you always have to be right? You said yourself.

Almost like a legitimate form of trolling.

Yup, I'm an asshole sometimes.

Then you try to turn yourself into the good guy saying "Oh well this guy had a really bad name, so I'm the hero I fixed it." That doesn't mean anything, don't try to trick people into making them believe you're a nice guy only doing it for the good of everyone. I saw you said that you're not a good person yourself, but when you tried to say that you're self-aware, this is simply not the case.

You had to get the last word in trying to prove you're not a troll, so you could feel better about yourself, well how about respecting the other players instead of reporting haphazardly for a change, that way we don't have people reporting each other constantly and have a little bit of respect in this community.

Report when you know it's wrong, not when your hating yourself for what you failed to achieve. Hopefully the more people that are happy with themselves, the less tattle tailing we have in this community. I'm not knocking the mods for switching names, it's fine if they have a completely vulgar name and the mods change it then that's fine, but if you're picking on people for a slightly offensive name that might be considered vulgar, then you're helping no one but yourself to get in those few giggles to forget the pain of being you.

I think it has something to do with the name and nothing else. :)

Of all the threads to bring back from the dead, and to revive it like that. Back into the grave it goes.
