A stricter enforcement of rule 3 and other OOC addendums

Bottom post of the previous page:

The proposal:
1.A stricter enforcement of rule 3, especially when it comes to IC names
2.Spamming Messages in OOC should be meet with a mute
3. Make dead chat rules clearer, as currently it depends on the staff on duty what is accepted and what isn't

Arguments against:
TG Station is supposed to be light hearted
Some names are funny
Spamming messages can get more attention
Memes
Dead chat will become a valid metacom area.

Arguments for:
Dumb, minimal effort names
Spamming messages in OOC isn't productive
Generally Juvenal
Accidental IC in OOC in dead chat can happen, because players don't know what's acceptable

Recommendations:
1. This didn't used to be a problem, but now Im seeing an growing number of names like Joban, Twiddledicks, Doritosnack, and my favorite Sexs-the-security. As a one off these names can be somewhat funny, but if its round after round the joke gets old really fast. What I propose is if a mod sees someone with a low effort name like above stated, they politely PM them and ask them to change it next round. If they ddon't they are PMed again and asked to change it, if they don't do it the next round, they get a slay, and a PM.
2. A few times, I'v seen people come into OOC and spam messages that are cringe worthy and generally just bad. Then other people will re-post the same message in OOC and it goes on and on. I recommend a rule stating an immediate 2 hour mute from OOC for everyone who re-posted the spam message
3. Right now, dead chat is very much a grey area in the rules. I recommend the following rules for dead chat:
1:No specifics about who killed other people (EG: Name of killer, Place killed, ETC), you will only remember the specifics of how you were killed, and if they were cult/ling/etc.
2: You do not remember the specific location of any cult bases/ops shuttles/etc, but you do remember the general location (EG: Somewhere in Dorm Maint, North of the bridge) and if it was cult/ops/etc
3: Posting any links or OOC messages such as coderbus reports should be meet with a mute in deadchat for the rest of the round.

Is this an ebig false equivalency meme? Calling yourself AJ when your first name starts with an A and your middle or last name starts with a J is staggeringly common in place of a first name. Also JAMARQUAVIOUS NIGG is not a mononame

I think they want you to put a last name in as well, hence why CJ AJ is/has been allowed but not simply AJ.

Oh i understand that but I was also pretty sure admins have been allowing mononames for a while now, which would make AJ fairly normal. Might be wrong though

Yes they do.

It means it has nothing to do with realism and still nothing to do with lore and therefore nothing to do with immersion and it's just old souls like you throwing a fit to get senior citizens to pat them on the head for being cucks to viagra users.

And Saeg this has little to do with current bans because the proponents want it STRICTER THAN PRESENT RULES!

You can imply soft power all you want, but there's people named literally retarded shit because their parents are either dumb or they are stupid and change their name to some of yackem's above examples, but that shit is not going to fly on the servers.

I said nothing about power nor implied it. I was talking about the reasoning of the policy, short of offensive names naming policy lacks it. You haven't really brought forth a reason other than dumb names upset you so here you are rehashing old coderbus is an island talk for administration where it doesn't apply because players have some influence via elections.

Admins will always be the forefront of what names they really want to enforce because headmins aren't going to be on the server 24/7. It's not even really a name crusade so much because the people who pick really really bad names are usually garbage people who are trying to get a reaction out of it. pick dumb names, do dumb things usually go hand in hand but not always. You've seen the notes saegrimr has provided, most of the names we change, are complete utter garbage

Garbage names for garbage people it's fitting and if they are acting up they'll just stand out even more.

Also it's a misdemeanour that just forces a name change no ban or anything involved so naming policy does little about them acting stupidly.

appearance bans exist for that purpose. Pick dumb names, lose the choice of picking a name.

for all the people pointing at examples of real life stupid-as-fuck names, there are two counterpoints.

1: while they do exist in real life, they're rare enough to make the fucking news so it's not really "normal" to walk into the office and the guys in the cubes either side of you are called NIGGER DICK and MEME MASTER

Jamarquavious Nigg is a bit silly but I've seen worse, since it still is a phonetically sound name with a first and last name.

Using all caps for names is just asking for a ban though

Yes, some raging griffing autist from nox or hippie called himself Phoneti Callyso Undname and admins did nothing about him. I'm pretty sure he also played Gazda Kykesrase Warnow and some other charming names like Putlig Gersi Nanoven and Allad Minsa Recucks. They were all phonetically sound names and all had first and last names so maybe that's why the admins didn't notice.

Ah yes, I recall the Allad guy. Well I have nothing against those kind of names, I too played a flyman named P. Rhett Fly or humans named Camille Toe, Seabill Wan and so on, and we also had some old celebrity players like Mah Emerson so I guess those names were never banned in the first place.

Those are great though, you get to be a shitty memester while also being the slightest bit clever about turning it into a name.

Hell my usual go-to when renaming people with excessively dumb names is to call them Terry Bulname or Evan Wursename on the rare occasion there's two in the same round.
