Offensive nickname

(1/10) > >>

lehytek:
I own one.
What makes a nickname b&able? I own a nickname after a cool sci-fi movie and I don't like the idea of being thrown out of here.

HertogJan:
It's offensive to some, whether it's based upon a movie or not.

IMO it's not as offensive as the guy who's using fuhrer (and some with numbers behind it) as nickname.
Yes, I'm aware it's the German word for leader, but it's also a reference to Hitler.

So far I've noticed such names disappearing quite quickly.

Sius:
This is MMORPG. Choose a name of your character, create a background for him and play the game.

Or not...

But choosing a nickname should follow certain rules and offensive nicks should be banned the same way as offensive actions no matter if the nickname comes out of some movie or book or whatever. Its not that hard to come up a with new nickname. Or just steal some cool name from other game/movie characters. There are plenty of nicks to choose from without offending anyone. So trash that lame nick of yours and get a new, better one.

Blackmore:
I think that if GMs deem the name too offensive they´ll take action if they feel like it. That movie sounds horribly wrong.. and I just simply hope it isn´t what I think it is.

But I however have a personal opinion over you for using that name, but thankfully I´m going to keep that to myself to avoid an uproar. :<

Michaelh139:
Dead Baby is a bad name...  yeah, someone is seriously using that name.
