The naming policy IS DUMB

[MathFan]

Bottom post of the previous page:

So recently I've been asked by admins to change the name of a character "Nyanaroni An'Cheese" because it breaks the naming rule, however I don't see how this does and I believe it falls under minimum effort not excessively OOC. I was told I'm not the only person this applies to despite the fact that another catgirl player Cup Cake is able to keep their name? I've never heard anyone named Cup. At least mine could be argued to be spaceage gibberish. I know that the user who plays Cup Cake was banned for refusing to change the name before, but they were unbanned and continue to play the character. Either you let all slightly stupid names through or you don't. Smell testes are unfair and the rules need to be updated regarding names and enforced on EVERYONE, because smell tests clearly aren't working.

Yeah thats what I mean its a fucking stupid policy I've had that dumbass name for like six years and no one has said a word to me but something equally stupid isn't allowed because ??? so everyone just tries to brainstorm where the line is but there is no line it's just at the whim of the admin it's so incredibly inconsistent and stupid to even bother trying to enforce that it's pointless.

OOC names are covered by no OOC in IC. Why does it need to extend further beyond that? Every time we have this thread it's an endless cycle of "this is good and this is bad and these arbitrary standards are actually VERY EASY if you use common sense by reading my mind GOD its so SIMPLE"

these threads are just good fun

Grazyn, while ignorant, is probably deliberately feigning utter cluelessness in order to make you lose your shit, thus lose the argument, thus increase the chances of those cancerous names staying.

You chiming in on the side of fetish haters is the real funny thing

[Saegrimr]

Because this is a thread about names, not fetishes.

Fuck it i'm out, you have to be doing this intentionally. There's no way someone can be this dense.

[RandomMarine]

A blurred line for the rule is good in this case. Helps keep normal names the norm and pun/joke names minimal but not extinct.

[DemonFiren]

A blurred line is easier to toe, though.

[Dax Dupont]

I have no doubt whatsoever that those denouncing Cup Cake and using Nyanaroni as an argument don't care about naming policy and are just the usual anti-cat circlejerk

Have you looked at my forum avatar?

entirely fair

If that were true we wouldn't be here. People are begging for a more definite line so they know where to toe it.

I miss BIG FAGGOT tbh


Also trying to autistically enforce your own vision of what names are going to be in a space station full of psychopaths in the far future is fucking stupid and you should all feel bad about it

No, he's one of the people who's all for the mutant race fetish stuff, it's just that even he can see that Nyanaroni An'Cheese is pants on head retarded

[Nilons]

itt: grayzn doesn't understand that you can agree on some things and completely unrelated to those things disagree on others

[Cobby]

I think we can all agree Ostrava of Nanotrasen is a bad rp name :^)))))))

Yeah almost as bad as Lola Cobblestone lmfao

[Rustledjimm]

Clearly people cannot be trusted with names.

We will remove names.

This thread has accomplished absolutely nothing just like all the other naming policy threads. Naming policy is enforced at the individual admin's discretion and that's unlikely to change. Admin complaints and ban appeals are for when you think a ruling on it is unfair. Just get special headmin permission if an admin yells at you for an okay name.

If/when the headmins decide on a new naming policy they are welcome to reopen this.

[Armhulen]

How about in the meantime we can just like make a note or something so people's names are decidedly safe or not so people don't get hit multiple times if their name is questionable
