I was under the impression that people with unfit names got a warning and got to send in some alternatives.
This GM/Polaris or whatnot should get a warning himself and should he abuse his power further be fired.
Not that I personally like any of the lameass names but people who dictate we usually nail to some wood...

"The name Loving Jesus is offensive to me, I am an Atheist and am offended."
i second that.
i find this name offensive as it promotes a false belief.

See I tend to disagree, I understand your logic in that it is a game, but it is a business as well, they spent over 2 mil in just development alone, this is by far just a simple game and to not expect a professional approach. Lets say for instance you walk into your local Sam Goody (What ever Music Store) and spend 10 bucks on a music CD, and the person behind the counter ridicules you for your choice in music. Now would that be acceptable ? I think not, and I bet you would be quite mad and prolly not give that company your business anymore if not resolved. Same goes for this game, it's a business to CCP they diddnt make this game for Sh!ts and Giggles and to let everyone play for free, there charging 50 for the game (Origionally) and 12.95 per month, you take the amount of players and do the math for yourself.. Thats alot of money...

A lot of people in this playerbase deserve far worse than condemnation. But that's a rant for the future. Eve is a game for me as well, which is why the actions other players take against me in game don't bug me. That's why the pirates don't bug me. That's why getting undercut on the market doesn't bug me. It's a game. How you treat people is not a game and never should be considered one. Least of all by the people getting paid.

Then they should remove the subscription fee and offer Eve as a Graphical MUD. Cirque du Soleil may be a circus, but you can bet they are deadly serious when it comes to providing the upmost quality and respect to their patrons. Even when I got doused the last time I went to Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey, they provided me with a towel and a free shirt so I wouldn't go the night soaked from the hip up.
CCP is a business. Eve is the game. How CCP conducts business can affect the entertainment of the game. Holding them to a lesser standard as a corporation because they make games is, quite frankly, stupid. And says they are undeserving of being paid for their services.

Hail, Satan!
To the people who said the name "Antichrist" was changed because it may offend Christians:
You are a bunch of backwards retards. The Church of Satan is also a religion, and has been for decades. Here in the USA the worship of satan is protected by the same laws that protect the free worship of christ or allah or what have you. I don't expect you to understand, since the founders of this country did so to get away from exactly your mentality.
Oh, and if you people against him using the name antichrist for religous reasons ARE american, then shame on you. You should read a little document called the Constitution of the United States of America sometime.
"Bob"
ps - check out MY religion!

I had a character name rejected because his first name was **** (which last time I checked was still a legitimate english first name).
Thought that was rather amusing.
Anyway.. flame on..

This really topped the cake, is this company ran by a bunch of eighth graders or what?
Seems rather funny they are not replying to this thread cause their hand was caught in the cookie jar this time. I would never even conceive of someone doing that to a paying customer, **** who is running this operation?
I get ****ed just reading this post. Someone up there in ccp needs to take charge of these nimwits and reform customer service. Really puts doubt into the players how secure there characters and equipment really are. PLZ....Take your right hand and grab your left ear and take your left hand and grab your right ear and PULL!!!!! REAL HARD!!!! UNTIL your heads pops out of your asses...

This is a great thread.
Simple truth is it was probaly changed by someone with a dry sense of humour. It was wrong, and the offenders boss should give them a light reprimand to ensure that kind of practice doesnt continue.
As for the Character name? I would keep it. "Loving Jesus" is now nearly as infamous as "Lord Zap". In fact I will pay you a 100,000 isk appearance fee for showing up at my next corp mining op to entertain the troops for a while. You could perform a few miracles (turning veldspar in bistot would be nice) before skipping off for a light breakfast or something.
Perhaps change your name to "Bwian" - 20 isk for an ex-leper?

Bah you post is almost as idiotic as the initial offense of changing the name, if they want the name changed then simply drop him a eve mail and tell him how to go about getting another one he desires..
I hate how people bendover and let anyone do anything.. Cowardly if you ask me.

ROFLMAO. Your name obviously was offensive to someone... probably the GM who changed it. While I agree they should probably have just changed it to a default name and given you opportunity to choose another one, you have to admit its extremely funny. As a christian though, I guess I would be irate if someone changed my name to Antichrist, so I can see how an athiest would be upset at having their name changed to Loving Jesus. Course its illegal to discuss moderator actions on the forums as ive been told about 30 times the past few days, so this thread will probably be locked soon.

If you are atheist, and you deny the existance of Jesus as a prophet/son of God, then for you Loving Jesus its just someone who love a guy called Jesus.
Jesus is a common name in some countries, when Christ or Anthechrist are directly related to religion.
Ok Ok... I know what you mean

Has anyone considered that the "Loving Jesus" character is just a troll, and the name never was really changed by a GM ? The thought occured to me that if someone (disgruntled pirate perhaps) wanted to undermine CCP and **** off the player base, this would be a great way to do it.

If this was not legit then the GM's would be posting, there lack of response should be proof enough
And as for being Illegal to discuss moderator actions in here, screw it, thats too damn bad.. How else do you try to let them know? Thru the "E-Mail" petitions they now have? I have one thats still sitting there from a week ago still waiting to be replied too.. If you post in the "Stuck" pettion then it gets deleted since it has nothing to do with being stuck.. The Help channel is a freaking joke.. So this is the only other alternative, and yes the issue has been petitioned

I was wondering something.
If CCP thinks the charname "Antichrist" is offensive, then why the heck do agents in the game always give me missions to get 666 units of small Photon ammunition?

After dredging my way though this awful thread, I realised that it's funny, in a sad way*.
I've never seen so many nit-picky pedants post in one clump. Well.. not since the UT2003 forums.. " well, 'antichrist' is technically just a collection of letters, and therefore is not offens.. " yeah, whatever.
Other than loving jesus's word, what evidence do you have that it was handled incorrectly? How can anyone say they never contacted him in regards to his name? How do you know he wasn't given a choice? How do you know his name was *ever* antichrist?
I agree, antichrist is not really changeworthy, but that's assuming it was actually antichrist in the first place, which is only if you believe everything loving jesus says.
Considering how sceptical 80% of the posters here are, I find it impressive that you have jumped on this mans words as the truth, and are using it as a moderator lynching platform.
I won't continue, I'd be here all night.
*except the actual name. That's freakin' hilarious.

Bah, religios people are just fanatics in the making, everyone should tell the blokes in dresses who molest kiddies to sod off and die so we can get on with life as normal and civilised human beings.
Normal human being = someone who doesn't belive in / worship a diety, tree, coffee table etc.
Idiot human being = someone who does belive in a diety, many dieties, fairys, pixies, elfs, trees and coffee tables etc.

No that was JesusChrist that posted that, and AntiChrist was used as a reference for names USed
