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

I say let them keep their childish names. They serve an important purpose in the game: marking those people whom I do NOT want to play with. Wit doesn't always equate vulgarity.

Anita though, that's pretty clever. I chuckled.

LOL at those names being the marker for you. Awesome way of thinking. Thanks, you made me chuckle too. Might as well keep that in mind and use it too.

I can't decipher that "Anita" one though, can you please shed some light? What pun is that?

The rest falls into place.

Did one of the girls get a new template for her face lift? She looks different.

It is quite possible

Ohhh haha. Strange, why I couldn't guess what Koukenhand was without having someone point out the "Anita" part for me first. Once you told me that, took me just 3 times of reading the name together to figure it out. ><

If you see a name that you believe is inappropriate, place a GM call, report it and you are done. Nothing more to do. No need to go to a website or whatever.

GM's job to determine if the name is appropriate or not. If not, the offending player may receive a penalty (depending on the name). Things like racism are most likely to be severly punished. Offending player will be forced to pick a new name.

The above applies to retainers, linkshells and chocobos.

Agreed.

To those who say, "It's just a video game, why be so uptight? Just ignore it." There are real people behind the pixels. And offensive names can be just as hurtful as any direct insult.

It wouldn't be appropriate to see someone walking down the street with a sign over their head saying "Itchi Ballzak" or "Killda Whities" or "Nate Higs". I don't want to see it where I come to relax and enjoy myself.

But, as the above poster has stated, all you can do is report it to the GMs and let them decide if it's inappropriate. Hopefully they'll force a name change. If not? Well, those are the people I just don't party with. Because they usually have a personality/mentality to match.

But do nothing? Well, you know what they say about apathy...

Most of us play Final Fantasy MMOs because the community is better than in games like WoW or Aion. Running around with offensive names only brings down the quality of our community.
