*Offensive Names* Have you guys considered policing the character names?

As the title says- I didnt expect all the variations of commonly used four letter expletives, female (and male) <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, and various body functions/secretions being used in names. Before some monkey rolls out and says report them, theres only 3 servers for crissake, and simply watching zone chats can net a chimp a fishnet full of catches without telling your customers to police for you.

Still trying to find a reference to AD in my AD&D Manuals.

Inappropriate people? Lolwut? Anything that can be talked about on this game has already been heard by the time you're in 4th grade. People really need to "grow up" when it comes to curse words or anything else they consider "bad" when referring to language. It's a word, nothing more and nothing less.
Perspective and human intelligence usually dictates behavior on the side of moderation. In one part of the world, I can say I enjoy seeing terrorist activity, while in another, every patriot and victim cries legal enforcement (as an example). It comes down to respecting varying levels of considered appropriate behavior erring on the side of better safe than sorry. If they allow the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> Ive seen, they also have to deal with the stuff they might not like too- hence creating a furthered degraded experience for all their customers. We dont need every type of human sexuality discussed in general chat channels, nor hear about how many different animals had been violated (with love though) by people.
It bugs me too; just ignore them; report vile names and get back to enjoying the game, they will soon get bored and go off and plague somewhere else.
Just /ignore and move on.
'-'
Way of least resistance, I guess!
exactly this.
HArden the **** up. You dont live in bubbles hidden away from the outside word. Profanity, vulgarity...hell life is all around. Snap out of this bull**** uppity up philosophy and get on with things. Don't like the name or language dont look at it.
We are individual and we have our own tastes, just because it doesnt conform to your liking doesnt mean we have to succumb to your way of life.
Sounds like you have some need to control other people. Maybe you should focus on your own flaws.
Grow up, plz, the problem is not the word or the name, but what you think it may means.
If you see a girl calling for "<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>" not always means what you think. Maybe she's calling for her little cute pink dog.
Its not because someone put his char's name like the one in the post above it means what you think it means. Maybe he just liked the letter's combination.

You might think it is ok. You might even want to support it because you may or may not use such naming. But just because you agree with it, does not make it right for you to decide what other parent's children see.
This is an MMO, if you want to play with in that game format. You should be expected to act as a responsible adult. Or do you think you could get away with getting a job with the use of those names on an application for work?
See these children you mention most likely they are the ones doing these names . I am shocked at some of the words my daughter knows*
* I must add she is in her late teens so yeah...I'm old :<

Then do your job as a parent and prevent your kids from playing then. If they are too young to see vulgarity (which I am 100% sure they use most of those words you are so worried about on a day to day basis) Then they are probably too young to be playing this game since there are adult situations especially with the foundry content.
If you think there will be a lawsuit from a lax naming policy. It makes me wonder how you are capable of using a computer.
They have a 9 - 5 customer service team so after hours you are pretty clear to do what you want. Bad management.

Also why are people allowed to have numbers in their name that's completely stupid.
Growing up isnt outgrowing "i find this funny", its outgrowing others opinions and standing for what you like.
But i named my companion "Your Mom" so what do i know?
I feel bad for you if that's what you think "growing up" consists of. And maybe if you are "growing up" you shouldn't be playing video games. Its funny that the world must revolve around you and your ideals, or face your whambulance. "growing up" consists of doing what you have to do in your life to live and provide for your family. It doesn't consist of whining about people using foul language on video games.
on a more related note, people can enjoy vulgar and tasteless humor all they want, it's their prerogative, but crude and antagonizing character names DO breach the terms of use, (or eula? dont remember or care) so therefore action should be taken, period.
you dont like the rules of the game then don't play, this thread isnt about right or wrong, the game says its wrong, OP is annoyed at the lack of proactive action taken, and i agree.
saw some guy named "Big <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>" running around, didnt care much but might offend some.
personally names like "best player EU" or "seperoth918" kill it for me far more than profane names
That is the biggest sentence of irony ever
(Google irony you probably don't know what it means)
Good try youngster.
Case in point, first day of Founders of the North head start, some ******* ran by me with the name of a male anatomy part, spelled with two E's instead of one.
