fred Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 yes kandya but isnt it the persons choice to be a complete dumass and name themselves something stupid. we have no reason to regulate offensive names because it really doesnt give someone an advantage or make them better. also about the top stats you were talking about how often are the people that name themselves things like that any good?
DontShootMe Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 There's a simple formula to show why offensive names would actually insult somebody. COD4 + multiplayer = internet population Being insulted by names = stupidity Internet population + 4chan = stupid internet population Therefore: COD4 + mutliplayer = stupid internet population stupid internet population = emotionaly unstable emotionaly unstable + insults = mental breakdown mental breakdown = bad Best analysis EVER! LOL
kandya Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Sorry but i had no choice i needed to bring this thread up again cuz ima still confuzed about it ...so just got in game and there it was :"smallpennis" hmmm its not the first player that i ve seen with this type of name in the past 2 weeks by now, but hes starting to be more active on the server (HC) and that may be a little problem ...I understand that it may be small but cmon no need to share it with the hole world... anyway i gived him a warn and he did left after bitching a little but camed back with a normal name Theo was there he can confirm this ... The funny part is when u die and u see by whom ...so it looks like this “u have been killed by a smallpennis “ wtf i dont want to be killed by that ,do u? lol If the founders would like to make it clear for us if we have the green light to warn this peops or not ...just to avoid any complaints i would really apreciate that ...TY all
AntiThought Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Kandya I do not mean to be rude but, I believe Phantasm made it clear the founder's current position is not to censor names. Our policy from the founders is not to censor names, even when we don't like them. I have had this discussion before with both Dare and Joe when I wanted to kick some guys with names that I didn't like. Maybe we could have a day where we all put **** or cock or jew in our names just to annoy each other. Oh look, I'm being censored lol. Edited August 18, 2010 by AntiThought
TimoMajere Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I realize im NOT COD ( yet..) but i think the same rules apply to COD as well as ET..so I believe if someone has the name of an offensive nature.. that isnt directed at ANYONE but themselves, its Okay. So if someone joined as 'smallpenis' for example.. thats not a derogatory remark to anyone.. but themselves. Now, if someone started going on to another player about the size of their manhood and uses those same derogatory words... then it becomes an issue for admins/authority figures to step up. I was a tad confused as well til i was told that the name in itself has NO power whatsoever really.. so its all in the personal interpretation of it that gives us offense. In short: IF someone calls themselves a name or has an offensive word in their name.. Thats legitimate even if its in bad taste. IF the offensive words are used in the direction of another player.. then that's a form of harassement. Please correct me if Ive interpereted it wrong.
Funksdead Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Kandya I do not mean to be rude but, I believe Phantasm made it clear the founder's current position is not to censor names. it is a difficult topic to have a cut and dry answer in my opinion. For example if a player joins and his name is ni**a we would allow that ? But if same players calls someone a ni**a we kick him because we don't tolerate racism?? Boils down to offensive versus vulgar and rude. Another example, player name smallpenis..offensive, maybe to some...player name suck my smallpenis, vulgar and uncalled for. Common sense and courtesy will prevail on this issue. Once again my opinions, not that of founders or leaders. Edited August 19, 2010 by Funkbut
AntiThought Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I agree with you Funkbut 100% but I would not want to misstep and kick/warn someone for a personal reason when it may not be against a clan rule. Guess we will have to wait for an official announcement from higher up the ladder and just go against ppl with names that are openly offending the server regulars until then.
fred Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 honestly just let people have whatever names they want. i personally wouldnt care if sommeone came in with the name nigga or f*** fred or something like that. i honestly wouldnt care. i dont understand why u made such a big deal because someone named themselves small penis. just laugh and continue to kill them. i am one of the people that believes that its a n rated game so language should not be censored. i like the language warning system though becacuse it stops people to binding fck or something to a key and spamming it.

Well i dont want to make a big deal out of it and its nothing personal with thouse peops just wanted to make it clear cuz when i warn they complaint "wtf dude ?I played yesterday and none warned me... " same goes if i dont say anything they complaint again ex: "why u dont warn me ?I played yesterday and I got one... " -he/she things thats funny beeing a smart as...? The point is that most of the ones that uses names like the one above are bitching all the time ,one more reason to agree with kicking them or am I wrong?Anyway just like Anti said "Guess we will have to wait for an official announcement from higher up the ladder and just go against ppl with names that are openly offending the server regulars until then..."

"Guess we will have to wait for an official announcement from higher up the ladder and just go against ppl with names that are openly offending the server regulars until then..." but hes starting to be more active on the server (HC) so wait isnt it u openly offending regulars by warning them because of their name?
coheed Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I agree that there needs to be a line somewhere but I lean towards freds views on this one. I won't warn/kick someone about their name unless their conduct matches and they are going out of their way to disrespect others. But seriously, who cares if he has the word penis in his name? Like fred said, its a rated M game.

Fred it seems you are trying to start problems. If that is what you are doing please stop now if you are not I deeply apologize. You know I have not warned anyone over their name. I have only had the ability to warn for like 2 days so I am definitely not going to step outside guidlines and loose it so soon over something so trivial. Not only that but by what you quoted me as saying I am not advocating warning for name alone. You are taking it out of context (or I did not write it as clearly as it sounds to me). Whichever it is however, what I am saying is that if a name is upseting server regulars and causing them to complain then the warn is for harrassing/irritating our regulars not for the name itself. That is all I will say on this topic as it is not my place to comment any further. If the higher-ups decide to comment on the proper procedure that is good, if they do not then I will continue to do what I am already doing about names (nothing except ignoring them).
