Dear Devs: Please make another pass at restricting offensive names

[Shibi]

I think a name that is a sound effect of a heartbeat

It's not really a 擬声語 / 擬情語 is it though? ドキドキ is correct and わくわく is correct but ドキわく doesn't become "excited heartbeat" - it's likely more accurate as something like "Time Slot". The Nine O'Clock News, so to say.

I can say that reporting a name does sometimes work... except, they'll handle the specific name on the specific server you report, and then not bother to go ahead and do a scrape of other instances of the same name..

Yep, it works, see bad name, report bad name, GM makes a decision on *that* active person.

GM's are human, and doing it this way allows the affected player to dispute the action with another GM on their next login. If they've been seen in world, then it's a given they are an active player and this dispute can happen while it's fresh.

If they do a global change, someone might not log in for 10 years, and it's too hard to dispute then, all the details and the GM in question are likely long gone.


The advice; "if you don't want to be offended don't specifically search it out" applies here. It's a bit like a gay guy searching photos of beavers and then going "ewww".
