Default Punishments too Excessive?

Aight look this aint no post where i'm going to cry because I got banned. Well, it is so yal might have to either cry on my shoulder with me or troll like children.

This may have been a tad immature of me but i'm sure EVERYONE has done something similar in the past.

I was bored one day and thought about making a new character. I already knew that I wanted an Erudite Wizard. So, Me being bored I wanted to try some names that i'm sure would have been taken or not allowed to use. So the first name I try for my Erudite, N*****. Unfortunately it worked but I never thought much about it and never thought anyone would be offended since nobody in the game even ever saw the character online... So I make another Erudite wizard and continue playing on him. Next day I try to log on ~ Your account is banned ~...

I mean seriously? One of the GMs contacted me and told me that I would have to find the GM that banned me in the first place so I petition on forums, said sorry and I would delete the character as soon as I was allowed back on the account. I was just being curious and it was really immature of me.

5 days later the same GM posted on the petition:

***We all look at the forums. I'm assuming whoever did this ban was not happy with a player making a character named '******'

im moving this to resolved.***


SRSLY???

The good news is you only had 1 day put into your wizard and accounts are free.

I would start a new account and in case there were any items of value that you need back continue to plea for the account to be unbanned. If you get it back move items to new account.

The process may take several weeks so don't waste your time waiting for a wizard you made a day ago.

I don't understand what people aren't getting. Don't do shit that you're not supposed to do, and you don't get shit on. I've done stuff in the past I wasn't supposed to do, and I got shit on, too. Want to know how I could have prevented it, and coincidentally how you could have prevented your situation as well?

Don't do shit you aren't supposed to do.

How were you supposed to know that using arguably one of the most degrading racial slurs towards black people wasn't allowed? Seriously?

How was I supposed to know anyone would even care to notice it if no one ever got the chance to see the character??? Seriously?

RTFM
It is right there in the getting started thread:
http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2651
Naming Policy
Character names in EverQuest should be thematically consistent with the high-fantasy environment of EverQuest. These guidelines apply both forenames and surnames, and also to the combination produced by a forename and surname. (For example, the first name Clint and the last name Eastwood are both acceptable names separately, but Clint Eastwood is not.)

The server staff can, in accordance with all described rules and ultimate discretion, provide assistance with surname changes, including names with multiple capital letters and/or a single accent grave (`). Examples of this are Kirn V`Last, Harl McTarnigal, Leeza MacTeagan.

The server staff will be happy to change your surnames on request, however we will not provide forename changes unless the name violates the naming policy.

The following names are considered unacceptable.
Vile, profane, rude, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, and homonyms of these words.
...
Above all else, you may not choose character or guild name which, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Project 1999 Customer Service Staff, is deemed to be offensive or improper.

So, you were not planning to play the character, just keep it.. right?

Curiousity is not a reason for stupidity.
