It's something most people in EVE see every day, joke character and corps names which really are offensive and shouldn't be there. While I'm the kind of person who doesn't get offended by these names I'm always sure there are those that do, CCP say they don't want them and have the tools for reporting them but I have to ask the player base as a whole... does anyone bother?
I mean all I can imagine is that if I actually file petitions for all the names I saw which shouldn't be there CCP would soon have hundreds of petitions from me.
I bring this up after seeing a corporation being advertised named "Window Lickers. [DWNZ]" and all I can think is yeah... that's pretty close to the line if not already over it in my mind. Does that even count on CCP's level of offensive/rude though? "Don't count on others for help. In the end each of us is in this alone. The survivors are those who know how to look out for themselves." |

I was perusing the ANet forums recently and that's where one can see true thought-crime protection in action.
When you post on their forums it uses your account name. Someone had their account name changed because they "might" post on the forum, someone "might" see it and that someone "might" be offended by it. ChentallyMallenged.XXXX was the name.
Hopefully EvE doesn't ever become like that.

If any parent around lets their kids play Eve it's not CCP you should blame but those irresponsible parents, maybe give them some professional phone number to learn their job and stop complaining it's never their fault.
Advertisement says it's not for kids and sensible souls, they can also choose to not play but if they do they can just STFU.

What-¦s wrong with licking windows? Lots of kids do that.

Most times, CCP will auto-reset names it finds offensive.
If you do believe a name is offensive and has been missed, then go ahead an petition the name; be prepared however for CCP to investigate and state that "Name X" isn't on their list of offensive terms/ideals and wont be changed.

What you find offensive, doesn't necessarily be offensive for others. Nobody except CCP has moral authority in EvE.

Your corp name offends my grammar-sense.
Unless of course, you are a traitor and some kind of independent reserve for another Navy than the Caldari Navy?

It's all too often that you hear people say "I'm offended by this and that" as if it's their right to live their lives with out offense from others.
It's nothing more than a whine, it's meaningless, pointless and deserves no respect.
If we start making eve into a game where no one gets offended by anything where do we stop? Cut the language? Cut the violence? Cut the drugs?
You're offended? so ******* what? I'm offended by your stupidity, where's my cookie? |

I'm a pirate, in a pirate corp, in a pirate alliance, in a pirate coalition.
I'm pretty sure morality got tossed out when I decided to make my money by taking other peoples stuff. |

The worst of the worst names do seem to get reported, and disappear.
Personally, I grit my teeth and ignore most of the stuff I find offensive, but I have reported a couple of names in the past that I thought were way over the line. |

Yup. I only report the really, really obvious ones, and for the most part they are always less than a week old. Gotta be clear violation of the EULA though, and obvious just dweebs going for lulz they won't ever get from anyone.
You can always tell who they are though afterwards with assigned names like Caldari Citizen584231 Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. - Oscar Wilde - 1870's |

I agree though. The obvious ones you'll never see anyway, anything else is just a case of "lol whatever".

Does that even count on CCP's level of offensive/rude though? See it as a higher form of PvP. Report their names and see them turn into Caldari Citizens!
Those players might even thank the unknown player who reported them when they finally got rid of a pretty stupid name choice.
Not sure about the "window lickers" though. I did lick windows as a kid in winter when they had ice on them. And metal bars, too. SCAM CAT - Titan Jump - I was there - Goon Dog |

It mostly shows that person is "bottom class citizen".
to the topic: i always report offending names and BIOs. It's not that i get offended because of it. But if you don't wash yourself you will not become more clear. You will just collect more dirt. The same can be said about community. Some rules and culture MUST BE cultivated unless we want to become monkeys. |

I find it amusing that the op is complaining about the morality of a rude name when we all play a game that rewards the most immoral of people and actions. I can hold your hand though if the obscene names are causing you tears. |

Some rules and culture MUST BE cultivated unless we want to become monkeys. Monkeys don't start wars or [insert other undesirable things]. So why would we want to be less like them? Also, monkeys don't play characters with 'offensive' names in MMORPGs, so how does reporting offensive names make us less like them?

There is a player named FLICKU and due to EVE fonts the L and the I look like they form a U. I actually think his name is very creative. I haven't reported any offensive names yet. Got LP Store Items? Have Faction Ammo you recently looted/redeemed? EVE Mail me for a deal. |
