As far as I know, you are allowed that.

I still can be reached over e-mail if you somehow need anything from me. Don't see a reason why you would, but if you do, e-mail remains the safest bet, as I do not visit this forum reliably anymore.

What if someone's second name is Hitler and he wants to use it as a nick ingame? :>
But the poor guy must be ashame of his second name, you know why :<
And there come the GameMasters, which don't let the poor guy use his name ingame!
The guy's even existance is "offensive to someone"(-.-). Evil GMs :< Discrimination!



It's just my opinion about banning/jailing for nicknames.

The fact that people still get uppity about it only means Hitler's terror lives on.  What is some guy who killled 10000000 newborns had the name:  George Christopher.

Would that name be suddenly bannable too?

Jack the Ripper ring a bell?  Its common. Hitler? Not so common.  There a name with it, the chances that it is a real name in that instance is almost nil and the chances it is a troll or for the 'lulz' is rather high. Which is what the issue comes from. 

Common sense is great ally, we all have it, some of us just choose to ignore it.  Being named a beer is fine in all seriousness, and it is nice that you at least considered if its alright or not and thought to ask.

It isn't about common sense.
It's not players' task to prove he's unguilty, it's GM's task to prove he's guilty.
If you can't prove that the guy made his name Hitler to insult someone, then you shouldn't be able to ban him.
If GM bans a guy without having a clear proof he's guilty - I call this abuse.

It won't help. GMs will still be "abusing" because I know that none of you GMs or even the overseer agrees or cares.
It doesn't matter anyway.
Facts will stay. And fact is:
It's not players' task to prove he's unguilty, it's GM's task to prove he's guilty.
That's how it is in modern democracy.

Yes, as you pointed out Floodnik we all are damn abusers that spend their times abusing while the overseer trashes your emails.



Anyway.
