Change Holocaust name

[harnold]

There are many jewish survivors here on project1999 and it is insensitive to allow the guild name to be as such.

If this is allowed then why isnt the name "******" allowed? Why wouldnt "sand-******" be allowed?

The naming policy only applies to names? Naming a guild after one of the biggest tragedies in history is ok? This would not have happened on live, and if that were the case, the name "sand-******" may even be allowed

I agree.

If Holocaust is allowed to keep their name then I suggest you change my name to "******" once and for all

Sorry, the name you have chosen has been reserved by another player and is unavailable. Please choose again.

Ok, I'm all for cultural sensitivity and all, but ... "there are many jewish survivors here on project1999"? Really? Our server has not just one, but many Holocaust survivors?

The Holocaust ended in 1945. If you were born just before the end of it you'd be 69 today. To even have a faint memory of it, you'd have to be like 75. While I'm sure we have a few older players on this server, I really doubt there are "many" players 75 or older on this server, let alone many (if any) who also had the misfortune to be born Jewish in Nazi Germany.

So, should we all be offended that some people want to compare their guild to the sickest bunch of torturers and murders ever to walk the face of the earth? Absolutely. But you don't need to make outrageous claims to make that point.
