Remove "Z" Title

[Communion]

Would you remove, at least temporarily, the "Z" title? That letter is horrifically offensive and violently politically charged today.

My suggestion is to change it to "Zzz..." and be done with it.

....remove what?

You know Z, the letter used by PROTESTERS AGAINST THE WAR who lived in Russia? Because if they said "war" or got caught protesting they'd be tortured and killed?

Guess OP is pro war, or anti protester.


( There's an entire topic discussing it to death, where folks figured out trolls would try it eventually)

Probably is. The actual conversation about it is happening in another thread on the front page, sort of thing that's easy to see.

Don't worry... hay, for real fun... it's been discussed so much that I can predict....


The troll will either abandon this thread completely and try something else somewhere else, or they'll try to double down.

Either by calling me the troll, or by quoting some russian propaganda, or both.

Maybe we should remove people who continue to ask for this.

How many times do we have to state this answer. The answer is no, it will always be no, and the Z stands for Zeta (and is a Gundam Reference). Some Eastern European conflict (That is far from the first and won't be the last, by the way) is no reason to ban an entire letter from general usage. It was also created before the current war and has no association with said war, direct or otherwise, ergo there is no need to remove it even if the devs cared about a conflict that is a third of the world away from them. As for the actual usage of it, it'd be akin to banning a <Ranger> title because a division of the U.S. army is called the Rangers.
And if its being used by protestors against the conflict itself, as ICF0 says, I say that's a reason to keep it around, rather than ban it.
Now stop using god knows how many alts to repost this question every time your thread gets deleted, OP. What is this, the tenth thread on this subject?
