While Lady may be more commonly known as an honorific, should we ban the surname King because the first thing that comes to mind when you hear it is K. Rool or Arthur rather than Stephen King? Yes, I'm biased; yes, Ari is my friend; no, it's not a bad fucking name. If Ari is bad, Dante should be bad. Naming yourself Gold should be bad because "people think of the material before the name!!". I'm not only against this because someone I'm cool with is being dicked down by it, I rolled my eyes at Oldman going through this shit as well and I think I've exchanged twenty words with him in three years.
Nilons is cool, but the name Ostrava of Nanotrasen has always been one that's made me roll my eyes. For the record I never felt the need to try and make him change it, nor have I shittalked him over it. I think at one point he was forced to change the name, so he went with Ostrava Nanotrasen, but now he's back to Ostrava of Nanotrasen again? Why the fuck are rulings so inconsistent? Why can there not be a proper agreement on anything?
If you want Lady Ari to be a bannable name, make your shit consistent and come up with clear guidelines and build consensus between admins. This shit is not nearly as hard to do as people are acting. Kill Oldman for being two dictionary words, Lexia Black for being a fake name and something more commonly known as a color, Gamma RY for not being a celestial body, Ostrava of Nanotrasen for being a firstname, fictional character, and improper name. Kill Chadwick Thundercock for being a blatant meme. Kill Dante for being an uncommon name.
Apply this shit evenly, to players you both like and dislike, or don't even fucking bother changing the policy. This isn't just a matter of the policy being poorly written, it's a matter of enforcement being fucking retardedly inconsistent on multiple levels.
Edit: snipping the post with a funny tagline isn't being antagonistic to someone you fucking manchild it's cutting down on thread size, stop editing my post
