Lol. As in there should be. We would just need some filthy mind to write the list. I don't think that would be a problem here.

Just make a thread in RNF asking for bad word names

wait 3 days

ctrl+c

ctrl+v

done!

I never report stupid names. I view it as a sort of community service when someone I won't like walks around with a sign over his head advertising himself as such.

There should be some check that rejects inappropriate names containing certain words during character creation.

We know that doesn't work...

This is classic. Policy basically says rp names only, rule is only enforced for offensive names based on complaints. Basically just like live in 99-01

I remember on live a GM changing Toocutetocare to Tucare because somebody felt insecure.

On Xegony server I had a particularly bad week and made a character named Ihatesony, logged back in the next day and his named had been changed to Iheartsony.. that was funny, even if the name was still silly :P

SOE changed their naming policy quite a few times.

They removed my mages name, then reverted it back, then removed it, then reverted it back. Both times I got it back they said they have a more relaxed naming policy (luclin era)

The creative or play on words type names don't bother me, but I do find it strange that there is no filter on character creation naming.

The "get name" generator thing is also busted, sometimes it suggests one or two letter names, and sometimes they're just gibberish, like strings of vowels or consonants. I vaguely recall when you used get name on live it would be kinda tailored to the race you were making, like wood elves would get different kinds of names than ogres or trolls.

On an emu where names like "Marqy Marq and the Funky Bunch" and other ridiculous guild names are explicitly approved by staff, I think the naming policy is a joke. Don't really care tho.

I feel like trosh is just a lame troll acct and he's decided to remake all the generic repeated threads, or he just sucks irl
