What would you do if you THINK you see inappropriate name?

[nasomi]

If I saw someone with an inapprioriate name, i'd say to myself, how does this affect me? Oh wait, it doesn't. I'd ignore it and keep playing. There's thousands of people playing, if it bothers you that much, just don't play with them. I see names which might be considered "inappropriate" a handful of times, and I say to myself "eh, to each their own." Is there really a need to be so uptight about what other people do, so long as it's not hurting anyone?

There is no growing up to be done, no one is ranting and raving when they see a name they don't like. I see a name roll my eyes at it's childishness and report it, then move on. I don't call the person out, or start yelling at them. I just report and move on.

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 ^^; )

lol.

I was thinking maybe I came across just a bit too harsh in my statement, so I just wanted to say I don't mean anything harshly, and meant only a light tone overall. I enjoy these kinds of discussions. You seem like you think about a lot of stuff and different sides of things, I think thats awesome. In some of it, I think we think somewhat the same.

For the sake of the "rules", however, I probably shouldn't post anything more off topic.

Happy gaming.

oh dont even start that crap, I do on the Internet what I would do in real life, I see kids vandalizing something, I call the cops, I see someone snooping around where they should not, I call the cops, you try and rob the store I am working at, you better hope you dont miss me...........this is pretty much the same thing.

The problem with people today, is that when they see something, they don't want to get involved, and that is how criminals get away with crap most of the time.

basically.... I don't put up with crap.

I have to admit, I've seen some pretty funny names out there. Most of the time though, it effects them more so then me. I pretty much 90% of the time make my own groups. If your name is Dookie Poo, Big Olanus or Warcraft Cataclysm you're probably not going to EVER get an invite to anything that I'm involved with. In truth before this person speaks a word blacklist them.

If someone is going to name there character something immature, or trollish, it's obvious the person behind the character is probably young and not worth my time.

You are comparing real life misdemeanors with internet game names....it's a game, don't take it so seriously lol.

Although robbing a store is probably a felony, not sure, but then again not even sure how you tied robbing and game names together.

Also making a funny name doesn't make you a criminal >.> (Not even in game terms/sense)

and some people are too stuck up in their own little world to learn how to take a joke and laugh about something. omg..... i heard a joke at work let me go report them all to get them fired.

sometimes people need to get their noses out of other people's business and this is just one of those instances. if it was not a racial slur or profanity laced i look at the name, laugh to myself, and move on.

Hi all.

Today I found myself in a big dilemma.

Friends in my Linkshell have been pointing out and laughing at a character's name of someone on my server. The first name sounds so much like the full form of insult word Mofo (but, like, kiddie pronunciation, you know, strong lisp). And their last name....pronounces exactly like a word in my language which would directly translate into "d**k head."

My brain keeps debating to itself back and forth.


Report it because it's bad!

No, it might be some weird language, like Chinese or Korean!

I stopped reading here. Bold for emphasis.
