I like how you sat on the fence and decided to bandwagon later in the thread.

I wrote a response to this and more on the "joke" but deleted.

I see you are going to be a coward and use Jimjam's excuse for your lack of proper social acumen in creating a highly disrespectful "joke" when it's not a cultural thing at all but a lack of empathy on your behalf.

You proved as such when you expressed that the only people who could be bothered by the "joke" were relatives. In actuality many people could find the poking of fun at RW's death literally right after it as highly distasteful, upsetting, and disrespectful.

Sorry, but using the cultural card doesn't get you out of this one.

***I also made my position quite clear on this "joke" the first time you told it awhile back. Feel free to create whatever narrative you want as you always do when pointing out your "facts." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

^ Type 2 virgin confirmed, seek help.

Love the originality of the insult! Only read it about 200 times on the forums.

I can tell you a real alpha just by how you write here on the elf forums. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What's that name again ?

The one that would have been seen by people on the server was Gangerbanger. Back when I made the character I was having a difficult time being creative that day, so I plugged that in while trying to come up with something. The name filters did not catch it so I just decided to roll with it.

The others were, which have not been played in years:
Jewid - level 3 druid, made in jest years ago and never played. Deleted now
Mulebitch - level 1 I believe, made in jest years ago and never played. Deleted now
Wyte Pwr - 21 SK (human). I completely agree with this one being way over the line. In fact, when I started playing again I stripped this character and rerolled my SK in an attempt to keep people from seeing it. The plan was always to delete this character, I was just dragging my feet on it and got punished accordingly. He is deleted now.

Truly sorry if my name(s) offended anyone. Years ago when I made the characters I was not considering the impact the names may have on others, possibly ruining their gaming experience. The funny thing is I was just discussing Ganger's name with someone on Friday night, saying that it probably would be best for me to request a name change for him.

Quite self-explainatory indeed...

So I guess my idea of an Erudite shaman named Sukinbiyatsh is not that good...

Shoulda made a DE necro instead...

You know what, I can respect this. ^^^

I find those names awful. To step up, acknowledge that you did not think how the names could bother OTHERS is a really huge step in the right direction and proves that you do have a conscience.

You didn't say it was due to a bad upbringing, or it was due to your culture why you created such offensive names, you admitted the truth which was you made bad names!

We all make mistakes, and do bad things to other people, it's inevitable. The key is being able to admit when one is wrong, and acknowledge that the feelings and thoughts of others DO matter.

Respect and kudos to you.

I have a doubt about my Ogre Warrior Bakdorslamr too...

Honestly I can't blame the OP for this: after all the terrible names I've seen (and threads about how the staff doesn't care about terrible names), hearing that the staff didn't just change a name like "Gangerbanger", but actually banned a player for choosing it, was one of the biggest surprises in this thread for me.

Not saying that name or his other character names were ok (clearly they weren't), but just I can't blame OP for thinking he can get away with "Gangerbanger" when there are so many similarly trashy character names.

I absolutely love petitioning racist, inappropriate, and *notlorefriendly* names in game. With luck, I've gotten more than a handful of level 60s renamed/suspended/banned in the last 6 months.

The rules are crystal clear. You have to be a special stupid/antisocial kind of person to think you can get away a name like "mcsloppy vhajhina". Part of me wanted to laugh (actually that one made me laugh a lot - others were just inane) ... but it's a pretty flagrant violation of the rules.
