Religious Recruitment Allowed in PWI?

I just had an unfortunate situation occur while playing on one of my alt accounts. I find it most disturbing and offensive. I do understand that the Chinese perveyors of PWI may not be up to speed on all the nuances and abbreviations/accronyms used by American churches and religions, but they might want to hire a consultant. When a faction is allowed to have the name of a current American church denomination, and the avatar doing the recruiting is using the "What Would Jesus Do" initials as a name, and won't take "NO" for an answer to either faction invites or chat, I get offended and I feel harassed. Since there is no way to report this harassment ingame, I've come here. I'll happily give details to a GM or Mod. Feel free to contact me.

I'd also like to know the policy on religion in PWI. I see avatars with names that obviously flaunt the rules against illegal drugs, sexually oriented themes, and even racist innuendos or slurs are easy to find in faction and avatar names. Is it allowed to use religious themes as well? Are these rules ever going to be actively enforced?

I'm not a prude, and I understand the use of the blacklist. I do however still object to not having a way to report harassment ingame. I even more resent the rules not being enforced, or being ornly selectively enforced. Any clarification on the rules, enforcement of them, and proposed solutions to this problem are eagerly anticipated. Thanks for your time.

    Screenshot the harassment, submit a ticket. As for "selectively enforced" they can't live monitor every account or faction made and rely on other players to report infractions. (or in some cases, when the faction bids for TW with an offensive name)

    most people play this game to get away from real life drama,

    this includes religion/work/school/etc

    If you wanna hang around religious people and advertise it, go to church and leave the gaming community out of it.


    thats my 2 cents
