Byond account and character name: That REALLY Good Soda Flavor - ''Reginald Mortimer Wilson''
Banning admin: MortoSasye
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Note
Ban reason and length: Note contents - [Informed to change for next round his full name ''Reginald Mortimer Wilson'' to only a first and last name.]
Time ban was placed (including time zone): 2018-12-27 05:26:30 No idea what timezone
Server you were playing when banned (Sybil or Bagil): Bagil
Your side of the story: Regular round, I think my name got noticed because I said something in the radio.
Why you think you should be unbanned:
I've gotten in trouble for "unacceptable" names in the past, so this puts me in extra danger for an appearance ban. Otherwise, I wouldn't really care about the note. The rules don't specify anything that should prohibit my character from having a middle name. In fact, the rules specify that "a firstname lastname minimum is required for humans and felinids." Saying that firstname lastname is the minimum implies that something more than that should be acceptable, and we all know that three names is more than two.
I got input from another admin who seems to agree with my opinion:

If the rules change to disallow a middle name, that's fine, but I don't think it's just to warn someone for something that isn't specified in the rules.

Changes to Naming Policy were posted in the Town Hall and Discord server, but the wiki page unsurprisingly hasn't been updated.

I would like to state that while nicknames are banned we don't have a ruling on middle names.

I'd argue that a single nickname is fine as long it's not an excessively long name.

Alright, after asking about middle names i got confirmation that they're ok but should be handled on a case by case basis.

Since your name isn't bad or a dumb one i will remove this note. Thanks for appealing and sorry about the delay!
