A stricter enforcement of rule 3 and other OOC addendums

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.

Personally I'd like to see a light naming policy in play, but it isn't a huge issue and we generally ask people to switch if its overly OOC.
People who spam messages in OOC already get muted.
Deadchat is a mixture of IC and OOC, you're allowed to share OOC things in deadchat as well as IC things. For all things, its generally considered OOC. You don't have to play a role in deadchat, as observers also sit in deadchat along with administrators. You can not, however, take information out of deadchat for IC use as that falls under metagaming.

Exception to this is scrying orb/astral projection ghosting, where you have to remain relatively IC in deadchat and can use knowledge from it in life (unless said knowledge was spoken by an admin)

1. Names are funny untill they use it round after round as an excuse to grief in which case they're just shit players and they should be forced to damped down.
2. Already is, if you spam random bullshit I'm assuming.
3. Dchat is basically IC/OOC yeah

everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses
Also a name is a name whatever you are called that's your name.
Stuff naming policy.
There is literally a man named KentuckyFriedCruelty.com this is 10 years old news. With weed becoming legal weedgoku420 is an inevitability. The names other than offensive ones are less stupid than real names right now. Move on from whatever dusty old book of 1000 baby names that drives you to campaign for this unrealistic more immersions than reality purity test bullshit.

You'd think that on a "light rp" server people would at least do something as effortless as picking a non shit name.

I do have one honestly I love my stupid names that got under the radar of this garbage policy when it was stricter.
We are at the "everyone against it is obviously obviously a repeat offender" phase already?
Honestly it doesn't make you better players and I would happily shake the hand of weedlordbonerhitler.

Just pick something that at least sounds like a name. It doesn't matter if it's a pin about anal sex or a real person's name or what-have-you. Just don't name yourself something retarded like xxxFuckSchool666xxx. It's retarded and makes you valid tbh.

Pretty much. I've been playing as Kreyvn Morhed since I first started playing here. No complaints from the admins.

Maybe they would have chance to RP if you weren't hunting them?
Maybe they can learn if they aren't?

It's funny when people complain people don't RP, but they do. Just by being in the game as a character, doing a job, you are already RPing. I guess most people see RP as sit in bar and completly ignore your job.

You can pick dumb names and then graciously let admins have fun with picking yourself a new name while cucking yourself from ever making a complaint that will be taken seriously about the new one.
So just pick names with that in mind.

Fairly certain "Unknown" is hardcoded as a bad name. Same with stuff like "wall" and "floor".

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

It's hard to think that someone's parent isn't fucked up to the point where they named their child 'Fuck 'liggers' McGee' because of current events.

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.
