Nobody in their right mind would actually have a problem with Gus Dejeux, this is pure fantasy and fear mongering on your part.

Ellen Ripley was not called 'Edge Fuckface' and Rick Deckard was not called 'Chad Thundercock'.

There needs to be a higher standard to names than fucking Chad Thundercock or Dick Kickem.

I understand individual admin opinions on names is subjective, but honestly it is not hard to make a name that is believable. With a admin team our size, shitty names will be called out eventually so long as we actually try and hold a standard beyond meme tier.

It's Oldman and Lady and similar that are also coming under fire that imo shouldn't.

I mean it's a perfectly valid name, kitty is a first name and von trapp was the family in the sound of music

We wait for the goat sacrifice on the blood moon for the headmins to convene, then they'll resolve it

No player should be made to feel like shit for having a silly name in the same environment where Baldy McGreyshirt breaking and stealing the chem dispenser is ruled an IC issue. Anyone endorsing this retarded policy in its current state and the reinforcement thereof has no perspective.

Someone having an eccentric name doesn't affect you at all, but banning for it sure affects them. If you can provide a good counterargument to this, I'll be impressed.

The majority wants it gone. Plain and simple.

Fun has nothing to do with it. I said it elsewhere, I actually don't mind naming policy in its current state because it works as a release valve for stressed admins. Vague policies like this one (or the OOC in IC one) allows them to vent their frustration in a relatively safe way.

if admins need to ban people for vague policies to "vent their frustration" then they shouldnt be admins tbh

You spend the entire day dealing with shitters, rule-lawyers, toeliners and various edgelords you can't ban because they always stop one inch before breaking a rule, sure you could rule-0 ban them but then you'll have to deal with all the circus that comes with it: endless appeal threads filled with 5000-word essays, maybe even an admin complaint, and what if a headmin takes their side and overrides your decision? You could lose everything.

Enter Lady Aria. Your heart skips a beat. This is the moment you've been waiting for. This is a clear-cut violation of a rule, it's a minor thing, unlikely to cause fallout, most people will laugh about it on the forums if it's appealed, it's perfect. You lean down on your keyboard and start typing: "I'm sorry but your name violates naming policy, specifically the part about honorifics...." You finish and hit send. All is right with the world.

Everyone can tell you're trying to curry favor with the staff by sucking major admin cock right now, and let me tell you: no one is buying it--not even the admins you think will be your friends for this.

Please stop making yourself look retarded. For your sake and ours. Thanks.
