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

[syntaxlies]

FTR I agree with you, the irony stemmed from you calling the anti American person out for being unpolitically correct when you yourself dont necessarily agree with politically correctness. No offense just thought it was funny ><

i knew when i was writing it it had some irony to it as i was saying "American" were to politically correct, and i my self being an American do not like it and what not. I should have taken a bit more time to edit my post on a touchy subject

MYSIDIA RULES ALL!!!

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.

If a name isn't related to abuse of children in anyway or something violating human rights, then I really don't care. My husband had a mule on XI named Mithramuffdiver. So when it comes to names like that I really could careless. It's a game...a video game...not a real life situation where your job depends on you having such and such name or w/e...Games are meant to have fun.

Report it. You have to take into account that not only do adults play this game, but some children as well. You can block inappropriate language in shout, say, ls chat etc., but inappropriate names cannot be blocked. A name like that should be reported, no ifs, ands ,or buts about it.

Not everyone's idea of fun is being laid back, goofing off or the like. I personally am in the middle, i'm serious when I feel it's needed, but i'm not super lazy laid back either. And I don't take offense to someone's name, but it does bother me if it's not a... name. You don't have to agree, but if someone won't or can't even understand that point... well, i'll leave it at that.

You still deal with other people online. If you want to play your way, but not have to deal with others telling you to change your playstyle when playing with them, either find like minded people, or play solo.

Point and giggle of course !

Report them, absolutely. Anyone foolish enough to name themselves something that stupid and/or offensive deserves to be reported. The same goes for name rip-offs from other FF games or pop culture in general. Seriously, it's not that hard to come up with an original name or, if it somehow is, use a name generator and tailor the result to better suit you. Ima Welhungman or Klowd Straife or Seymour Bohtts is not what anyone should be seeing in a game like this. Just my opinion, but I report any of those I see.

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.
