    Simple. I blacklist them and move on (though I do consider anyone an idiot that uses stupid names in the first place and it is my right of association to NOT associate with such persons). It's none of my concern if anyone is breaking the rules unless they're actually doing something to realistically put them ahead of me or coercing someone. Just like in the real world, I couldn't care less if you're breaking the law unless you're using coercion~because the chances are always going to be that the law shouldn't exist to begin with.

    Can you just let people have their fun? How can someones name really piss you off that much?

    I mean shoot, there was a thread on these forums with funny names. And you want to make someone else change theirs? I don't like your name Knighthill. You have two words in your last name and it is really innapropriate.... really now, just let people play. You know damn well it is making other people laugh. Geeez a thread about this.

    I would laugh, because, even with their name, their 1 gil is not worth more than my 1 gil.

    My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

    But most things on TV are censored for the parents, rather than because the general public doesn't want "insert blood cursing etc" in their movies.

    The only reason I don't like those things in movies personally, isn't because of what blood is, but because the minds of most creators who put these things in moves generally suck at storytelling, and put up bewbs and blood, to advertise.

    But I equally find the idea of "I don't want to hear your opinion, or hear your side of the story" equally damaging to our society.

    Saying you don;t want to see some fat guy naked walking down the street, might be the truth for most people, but (1) you wouldn't care at all, if it was the normal thing to see, and (2) it's damaging to said persons self-esteem.
    I'm sure everyone is ok with good looking people naked, and not ok with "not good looking" people. (Based on their opinion of the 2.)

    The ONLY reason I would use censorship, is if it is harmful, and or can't be understood yet, until previous steps were taught. (AKA basic math before algebra.)
    I completely agree with the bolded statement, and I think it's something a lot of people don't understand.

    However, to say only parents care about censoring movies, and everyone would be ok with good-looking naked people is generalizing a bit, I think. I can think of quite a few people who wouldn't feel that way, some parents, some not.

    As for people's attitudes about not wanting to hear out other people... it depends on what you mean I guess. That really goes both ways. In regards to the topic, the person who is making offensive names is being disrepectful both to the rules and to people around him who don't want to see that sort of thing. So in that case, a respect of authority and others I think is a bit more important than his "personal expression" if you will. On the other hand, maybe he does have a good reason, but even if so, you can't just follow your own whim without regard to others. In your own home, if you want to paint such things on your walls 1,000 times over, you can. But in public, it's not just about you.

    If you really think the general public wouldn't care, just try showing up at your workplace naked and swearing and see how long you would have a job. Unless, of course, that's the way you are supposed to show up.

    Still does not change the fact that the names are inappropriate, and need to be reported, there are rules for a reason.

    yeah, I did generalize a bit too much, But you knew what I meant. (Or so I assume.) (I hate adding the extra clarification every sentence in similar debates ^^; )

    It's against the rules to name your character after a Square-Enix character too. Banhammer for everybody whose last name is Highwind? Probably not.

    Probably depends on the name. There are probably more times where someone's doing it to be a smart-ass than they are being genuine to their real name.

    You know what you're doing. You can have your laugh and know someday, you're gonna get reported, and a GM or some such could offer you the name change.

    names like Obiwon Kinblomee are inappropriate and should be banned/forced to change also names like Meatpopsicle shouldnt be allowed. Its every players duty to report such names. Lets keep as much stupid and immaturity outa the game as possible please folks.
