I'm pretty sure that was not the result of a petition, and I'm pretty sure it was not offensive; it just violated the letter of the naming conventions at the time.

So somewhere, sometime - there were GMs who cared (even though I disagreed with them).
Crazy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I stand corrected... I guess some where Gm's did care... Not on Nameless when I got the name change... lol :/

I think it was probably fairly arbitrary, and in 90% of the cases I think the name changes were fair.
