This list was made keeping the following in mind:
Character and Corporation names may not: be racially or ethnically or sexually derogatory; contain profanity; suggest an affiliation with a real-life hate group or figurehead. Character and Corporation names may not impersonate other characters or corporations. Alternative spellings will be viewed with the same scrutiny as traditional spellings. Names used in the game are also reserved and may not be used in whole or part. Infraction of these rules may result in a mandatory name change or ban at our discretion.

So, throughout my days I've seen a few corp names that violate some of the rules CCP has set:


What would be the best way of bringing this to CCP's attention? Bug Report? Petition?

So you know that there is a petition function and you're really asking this question? Really?

/cranky

Oh, don't mind Tippia. I just got back from the store with her Midol.

I've done bug reports before, but I haven't petitioned, just checking to make sure petitioning would be the best option.

Sorry to check the forums to answer a question that I wasn't sure of.

Hooray sexism. You aren't helping.

Really, what I'm confounded by is what on Earth would make you think that it has anything to do with bug reporting to begin with and why it would even be an option on the list? Corp names are not bugs. The coders and QA can't remove them because there's nothing wrong with the code.

If you had been unsure what petition category it should go into, I could understand it, but between bug reports and the tool that deals with rules and infractions GÇö viz. petitions, that you apparently know of GÇö why would the former even remotely be a considerationGǪ

Anyway, like I said, /cranky.

Now you are just trolling.
Blocking so I don't advise you in the future.

Edit: Also, mentioning Midol is not sexist.

Why would you want to petition a corp name? Let me guess it offends you? Call a Waaaahhhmbulance, HTFU. Don't like the name, don't join it.

Of all the things in this game to complain about, someone's corp name in not amongst them.

Sure it is.
The whole GÇ£woman complaining GåÆ must be on her periodGÇ¥ is thoroughly sexist, and a humorous context doesn't change this GÇö it just make it a sexist joke (and poor taste). The fact that you made the joke about someone who's not a woman just makes it worse: GÇ£someone is complaining GåÆ must be a woman GåÆ must be on her periodGÇ¥ manages two counts in one blow.

Oh, and OP: when in doubt about petitions, just dig around. There are categories for most things you could imagine and they're mostly intuitive enough to guess what goes where, unless you've come across something that's especially odd or related to some particularly obscure paragraph in the EULA.

Am I the only one who noticed the name of the plaintiff is "PinkKnife?" I'm sure there are a hundred possible meanings for it, but the first one I, a lvl 80 Internet pervert, can think of is more than a little phallic.

There's an abundance of panties in a bunch in this thread.

It's amazing how upset some people get when you suggest to them that, just maybe, the casual subjugation and oppression of half of humanity isn't a particularly good thing, isn't it? Or how offended they are at the mere notion that maybe rules aren't made to be brokenGǪ

Nonsense.

Also,....I never hear a THING homophobic in GD or in Local. Nope, not ever.

Or is the very fact that it is manufactured for women only a sexist business practice ?

Nope. Just awfully casual, which rather makes it worse.

And that makes it aaaall ok, I take it?

In much the same sense as the GÇ£Bic for herGÇ¥ or the ridiculous GÇ£women's tabletsGÇ¥ that have popped up, sporting garish colours and coming pre-loaded with health and fashion apps, yes.

Then the clothing industry should stop making dresses.

No, but they sure could stop making dresses that are only fit for anorexics and underage boysGǪ
