Judging by the posts i've seen you type, this is the only response that comes to mind.

But if the OP does get get upset about it, that's his right and his business.

The tier of offensiveness I do object to, and will continue to speak out against, are names like the ones you mentioned. Just yesterday a toon named "Buttnugget" joined my orc2 group. I don't feel like looking at that name for hours or dealing with a person who would choose that name, I don't care how good a player they are. If that makes me uptight, controlling, or whatever label some of you want to apply, so be it. It's like I said in another thread — population is starting to explode on P99 and we're at a crossroads; we can either let the kiddies run rampant with disgusting names or we can set a firm policy now. Some of you act like it's a power-trip because we want to apply standards, and I say baloney.
i dictionary.com'ed that word....nothing came up. Weird.....

I kinda feel sorry for this guy to be honest. How bitter does someone need to be to compile a list of this many names and post it on the forums hoping to get them changed?
Good point lol.

I don't think you understand how much the staff hates being bothered consistently by inane shit. The people with these names aren't causing a problem for them or they'd already have been changed. You on the other hand and just being a twat, the staff here ISN'T to ensure "Your playing experience" is how it was on live. In fact, the devs and staff have repeatedly said that if you don't like the way shit is- you know where the door is.

tl;dr

The staff hates you more than the people with these names because you're being a whiny little bitch expecting them to act like the carebear GMs on live.

Amelinda is on record as being very against retarded names, and not minding putting in time to change them.

I think you overestimate her threshold for caring. I've personally turned a couple people in to her. One was like Alexisgay? Which of course is a horrid name, but if someone wants to be called Bradd Pitt I'm sure they couldn't care less.

The policy is just there so no one can bitch if their name gets changed. It is far from enforced to a T

You turned in someone named Alexisgay? Lol that's funny if true, but now I'm unsure whether we are having a serious discussion or not

This is very true. I made a human SK to buy a iksar necro buddy his spells in EFP sewers.. To laugh at him i named it 'ihatelizards' and Amelinda and i were chatting before i had even made it into the sewers from my spawn point.
