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

Re: Dork is Here
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

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.

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.

Re: Dork is Here
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.

Re: Dork is Here
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.
