"please change your name this is the fourth time we've asked"
"no fuck u" *plasmafloods*


"why am i banned??"

[Shadowflame909]

He should of just appealed the name ban like everyone else. I don't get how Dork Hore is a bad name then again I don't get the pun

[Imitates-The-Lizards]

Hiya, thanks for appealing! I hope that by the time you're reading my reply you're sober.

Paahahahahhahaa

For real though, I think this is just another case of "local man upset at naming policy goes full society mode", at least that's my interpretation of the events in this appeal. I really wish headmins would comment on naming policy in the policy discussion thread. But he did go about this the wrong way. He should have filed an appeal about the name policy note, not gone full plasmaflood

Don’t drink and play Spessman. That’s all you need to know from here.

Whoever asked them to change their name is an idiot. I see nothing wrong with it at all. It is literally a slightly changed name of a historical person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorcas_Hoar

How else can you admin? Just don't end up on the wrong end of the Ballmer peak and you'll be fine.

Aside from everything else but why didn't they just simply appearance ban

[Misdoubtful]

The wrong end sounds like it could be a toss up.

no better way to admin then after demolishing a bottle of jack daniels and rolling a d20 on how many people you're planning on unfairly banning that night

[Vekter]

It's a stupid fucking name, I don't know why he's so married to it.

This is like insisting that it's perfectly okay to name yourself Brumpo Tungus.

[BlueMemesauce]

It only sounds stupid because it's an old greek name from 300 years ago. People in a multicultural future 300 years from now would think it's dumb that everyone is white and has 21st century anglo names.

[EmpressMaia]

I'm making a new character named bumpo tungus

[Boot]

name policy is dumb and only exists to give admins free reign to bully pls fix

[Indie-ana Jones]

I don't think there's anything wrong with the name Dorkus Hore.

[Dax Dupont]

Naming policy is painful and has changed over the years. Headmins of the past reverted the appearance ban when I banned Cup Cake.

[Agux909]

Literally just get rid of this line in Rule 3 precedent 1: "Admins may get involved if your name is dumb and can approve or disallow names at their discretion while in-game."

Admins shouldn't be using their discretion to determine what is for them a "dumb name", they should limit themselves to determine if a name is excesively OOC in IC, malicious and/or inflamatory, just like the examples given within the same precedent. Leave the picky roulette to MRP.

Can we just have this happen already? Stop giving admins freebies to flex their powers for a dopamine hit. You don't like Cig Bhungus, you don't like Adam Ongus? Too bad, there's people named worse IRL, get over it.

I mean it's a stupid, harmless name but also this guy is clearly a dipshit if he's willing to throw a tantrum and plasmaflood over something like this

It's interesting that you'd want that rule gone because of how fucking awful all your non-Clown/Mime names are.

Your personal opinion on my statics is duly noted. I assure you it will be given the time consideration it deserves,
definitely more than the time it takes to flush my toilet.

[Mice World]

Every time I see a naming policy thread I wonder if I'll eventually be told to stop using "Socks" as a last name.

None of their main ones are that much worse than Dready Doom

[Archie700]

In fact if you're sure a name like Zombe Anna is bad why don't you just appearance ban them and see how fast you'll get raked over the coals for it.

[Farquaar]

There are worse names regularly seen on the station tbh. Even something silly like "Dorcas Mallorcas" would probably be fine in my book.

I feel like names start being lame when they fall into the realm of memes (i.e. Amo Gus), sexual innuendo (i.e. Minnie Wiener), or names of celebrities/famous historical figures/fictional characters (i.e. Kanye West, Albert Einstein, Bart Simpson). Or when they have some sort of special snowflake name structure ("I'm a human with a lizard name guise!!1")

When it comes to puns, I suppose there are some grey areas. If the pun isn't even disguised as a plausible name (i.e. "Stupid Man" or "Iam Robust"), then I think most of us can agree that it's a bit much.

Help I've been personally attacked

Jokes aside, why do you care about this? It's clearly IC and fits in to the setting.

I should be able to tell whether someone is a human, lizard, moth, or whatever species by looking at their name. And again, it's super snowflakey.

man, if you think those names are bad, lemme show you something.

Will you accept Hugh Mann? (Bonus points if it's a non-human)

Hugh Mann on a human is fine. Hugh Mann on a lizard, moth or plasmeme isn't because it goes against naming conventions for those races.

Hugh Mann on a felinid is always wrong because felinids are a boring race that should be have been replaced ages ago.

[Not-Dorsidarf]

Farquaar here to be the anti-fun brigade, being unsure if Hugh Mann or Not-A-Lizard are humans or lizards is funny and not disruptive. Anyone who actually needs to tell (Silicons mostly) can tell via other means than radio chatter

[Epicgamer545]

Name policy is bad. Please make a real system for it that’s not based on opinion. Creative names should be allowed to exist in peace.

I genuinely think this is a case where bad administrative actions drove a player to madness.

Isn't one of the biggest problems that Moths don't HAVE naming conventions and that's why we have moths named things like Soup or Apple or Lampy McLampitylamp?

[Farquaar]

We sort of have "soft" naming conventions that are unwritten, but yeah you're right.
