I must take a different approach, rather than rapid fire petitioning I will create a list and inform the violater that their name WILL be purged soon and report them in batches... I will continue to refine my methods until the scum is completely eradicated.
I admire your work and fervor.

What's important is to not turn this into a shitfest for the staff.

Let me clue you boys in to my methods of handing over the ILLEGALs to our Police.

First, upon zone in, I announce to the zone that I am going to be reporting anyone with an ILLEGAL name. I offer people the chance to step forward...

It's fair to only petition people who you see face to face. So you have to find them. I like shouting about what part of the zone I'm in to increase the feeling of dread as I approach with my LIST in hand.

When I see someone, I give them a chance to explain themselves. A couple of people have actually given good RP reasons for their name and so my immersions were safe. Add everyone else to the LIST.

Do NOT petition each person individually.

%T does NOT work in the petitions, the GMs don't get the data.

Make a list of names and then petition them all at once; or create a list in the Petitions/Forum section.

Keep in mind that staff are busy with probably more important petitions and if you spam them with 20 new tickets, it's going to be the equivalent of trolling them. The staff wants to change the names, but you need to help them in a way that isn't super fucking annoying and also presents them with data in an easy to find format when they are bored and have a few minutes to CLEANSE norrath.

My hotkey informs and notes down the offenders name in one keystroke...I will report the names in batches, you have been warned.
I highly suggest you use the emote /e observes %t's name and notes it in a paper-backed binder.

if all of us Snitches use the same emote, it's going to have a biG and POWERFUl effect.

I feel like you are encroaching on Baler's coattails here, man.

This is pretty much exactly what his original list was in server chat. You better get permission before you start leeching his material. Just sayin'.

You can bind paste from clipboard to a key in EQ, this way you can just ctrl+c, ctrl+v your list of names into a report?

Exactly this. ^

I have not even had a name changed yet, and I can sympathize with those who have had a name they identified with for years instantaneously wiped off then replaced with some generic name like "Arleigh."

Hey Loramin, let's say they changed your name a day ago before Llandris posted that they were doing so, say you log in to play Loramin, and find your character now with the name "Himpuh" or some other name which you have absolutely no connection to, would you simply say, "oh well hey I understand, it was found inappropriate and I am just fine that it got wiped off." Time to log in and play now!

No you would not.

People are not being "whiny-asses" as you said when they are upset that their long established names have been wiped off, and even with justification now as to why the names have been wiped off, it still doesn't make it less hurtful to these players.
If they knowingly violated server rules why should sympathy be shown? I understand there may have been an emotional attachment but if you get emotionally attached to robbing banks the authorities don't have to go light on you. We have no evidence that I've seen posted suggesting they are getting rid of names that are not blatantly in violation of the policy as written. If so please provide proof and you may sway my opinion. Otherwise better late than never on rule enforcement. The rules are in place for a reason.

No you would not.
That's kind of like asking "well how would you like it if you were in jail for cow tipping ...". Well that's a hard hypothetical, because I never have and never would go cow tipping ... just like I've never created a name that violated the rules (despite having multiple accounts worth of alts to name). If I name a character after something, it's something extremely obscure, like an ancient greek novel, that 99% of people on the server would never have heard of.

But I do have empathy, and I have guild mates with some truly awful names who I consider to be friends. I'm sure it would suck for them to login and find their name changed. Would it be unexpected? No, the rules have always been there, they just got away with breaking them for a long time. But it would still suck for them, and I'd hope that the staff would let them pick a new (non-violating) name that they like so they could still enjoy playing their character.

I think you don't understand the concept of SJW.

We are more like the Secret Police force of Stalin era Russia. I like to think of myself as the Name Gestapo. Hardly SJW.
