At the CCP Panel at fanfest an Icelandic player got up and asked for his corp ticker back. He was in the Coalition of Carebear Killers whose ticker was C O C K and was removed for being offensive.
In support and since I'm Scottish I'd like to lend support to this issue by reproducing a Robert Burns poem.
C ock up your B eaver.
When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town, He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown, But now he has gotten a hat and a feather - Hey, brave Johnie lad, c ock up your b eaver!
C ock up your b eaver, and c ock it fu' sprush! We'll over the border and gie them a brush: There's somebody there we'll teach better behavior - Hey, brave Johnie lad, c ock up your b eaver!
this is a real Burns poem, google it and see. The poem is about preparing to tech the enemy a lesson. Give them their C O C K back.

Good grief, after seeing the tickers CL!TZ, OSH!T, and a few others, they come down on this? In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

Well the serious point is probably that if you are going to be silly about these things, its probably possible to find offense in literally any kind of corp ticker or any corp alliance name you can come up with beyond a bunch of random numbers. I certainly remember some war-enemies we once had making noises about petitioning Jericho Fraction on the grounds they thought we were Israeli fundimentalists (or something). And back in the day I do remember CCP getting into a muddle after the community manager censored one eastern european special forces inspired ticker while allowing another based on the UK SAS. Silliness basically.
Bottom line - I think its worth CCP taking an adult view here and rationalising the policy on funny corp tickers (and indeed the forum filter itself).
Eve is an adult game played by adults with a good sense of humour. Absolutely no point pandering to people that might be offended by seeing a corp ticker referencing a male chicken!
These guys need their manhood back.

It's closed-minded individuals like this that give CAOD and Eve in general a bad reputation.

Apparently there are 15 meanings of the word "cock": http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cock and only 1 of them is offensive (and that isn't even a correct usage of the word).
Also, CCP is being exceptionally hypocritical. If you want to sanitise the entire game for use by 5 year old children then why is the following content included: Exotic Dancers. Illegal drugs that make you more awesome. Other things I can't think of right now, but I'm sure someone else in this topic will add a few.

I also support the C O C K. Taking away the ticker of an established corp like that really strikes me as wrong and I am glad to see some CSM related names popping up in this thread. ---

I suspect you don't actually know what this thread is about. And as for stopping posting ... you might have to prove a little more effective in space combat if you want to silence me old chap - posting snippy forum flames just won't cut it.
