Sadly Band of Brothers connections supersede that our subscriptions rights.
Oh seriously dude, cut the BS it don't belong here.
The stuff about 4S and SAS being renamed is total crap, and everyone can see it. Are you low enough to bring in your ingame political bias to something that affects the whole community? Puh-leez. 
Heh check the 4S post I started ..... these people always come out of the woodwork.

signed.
this is nonsense, as many people have pointed out, so many corp names are rips of real life organizations that if you want to take this stance on naming conventions, you'de be "reverting" half the corporations in eve.

OK, if CCP is going on a Witch Hunt of some kind, how about letting us know?

Senate and Supreme Court Corporations in the Gallente Federation, im sure we are all aware that many countries have in their governmental body a "Senate" and a "Supreme Court" so that to would also be emulating a real-world group
If CCP wants to play on semantics, i can spend more then 5 minutes scrolling thru CCP created NPC corp names and googling stuff and finding references to rl groups and organizations
in closing
give them their names back
sit down

Don't see this as me pinning it to BoB in any way.
I don't mind the name at all. I just want to display the immoralty in this. Becus there are so many others that are in breech of this said rule. And I don't want S.A.S to be singled out in this. Even if you don't realise it. You and me are in the same boat here. We're after the same thing. To keep the name.
I'm with you 100% when you say taking your name is wrong. But I don't think we're on the same level. Just the Same ball park, so you have my understanding and support in your effort to get your name back
To everyone in this thread saying Bob should lose it's name:
I want to make clear to everyone that we've never aligned ourselves with a HBO mini series or a Book. I'm not sure what Easy Company of the 101 Airborne of WWII's motto was but I'm sure it wasn't "Nice region, we'll take it", heh, it might have been "nice beach, we'll take it." 
If you read that quote I posted you'll see that it's exactly how we play the game, you spill blood with us and your my brother. Which is exactly why Steven Amberose chose that name for his book and Shakespeare wrote that Speech. To explain that feeling, and it's why BNC, RKK, and EVOl are together.

This is really getting silly. I'm pretty sure with 10 minutes, web browser and google I can make up reasons to get any corp name ingame banned (maybe except for real weird names like S******dly).
This needs to be undone.
Edit: I think the filter just gave me an idea for that corp too.

This is just stupid, many corps/alliances got links to RL organisations and trademarks, are you going to change them all or just poor SAS and 4S?
I guess we're up next then since we got the same alliance name as a military board game...

I think we pretty much exausted this.
We appresiate your support. And we think the gm's made an error in this. We hope the situation will be resolved shortly. And that we get to keep the name. We'll let you know if we don't, trust me. :)

Deathwing 4tw.
This is retarded beyond comprehension.
why don't CCP instead of letting us choose a corp name automatically call everyone evecorpxxx? That would be a lot of fun.
CCP Instructions for corp creation:
"You will be able to choose your own corp name, except for any name with an link to any real life military connected organization or group anywhere in the world. Digging deep enough we know this would include just about any name in the dictionary but we don't care. We also reserve the right to up to 3 years later rename your corporation without giving much reasons if some random whiner informs us it is offensive.".

Not to mention all the people out there who have named their characters after bodily functions or specific parts of the human anatomy. There are tons of those people running around and yet they seem to be able to get away with it.
I petitioned a guy with a seriously vulgar and offensive name the other day and was basically told to take a flying leap.
Sounds like favoritism to me.

Well, one think that allways surprise me is CCP name itself. I think they should change it, as it is a name of a country. It is really offencive for some private company to name itself as a one of big countries.
Russia was called CCP no more then 15 years ago.
Soviet Socialist Republic. IN Russian S = C and R = P. So for 70 years Russia had name CCP, you can see it on every one of old banners.

According to what ppl said there, it doesn't stand for "united we stand".
It meant something like "only united can save serbs" and is a symbol used by many serbs accused for war crimes...
And if that's correct I guess it may be a valid reason to nerf their name. Although doing it after 2 1/2 year is...uhhhh.

Thats not really right. 4S does mean "only unity can save the serbs", but it has been the national motto (and an emblem) since the 14th (or 13th) century. Simply because some monsters have perverted it does not make it any less the national motto or any less of a patriotic statement.
Obviously, the corp intended it as a statement of the nationality of most of their players and to signify that they were proud of it, not in any possible negative sense.

I'm suprice it's not locked yet. Kieron, your getting sloppy. Who will keep us in line if your not here?
But I'm glad this one was allowed to run. It's been a good discussion and on the points. It's not always better to lock the treads on here actually taking up issues we have whit the game.

Yes, of course.
That happens everywhere in the world. Some %ñ!#ññ/*** taking ancient symbols and using it as their own.
Personally, I don't care. I'd never petition a name. I leave my RL ties outside my gaming. But I kinda think it's stupid to use RL names in EVE.

Right on the spot dalman. When i first started out playing eve, and saw the name, i was suprised that a term would be used in a game. And comming from the former warzone didnt make it easier. But lots of people from that corp are actually quite ok, so i didnt give it further thought.

the reasoning with 4s was that this national phrase / term existing since the 12th century was used in the bosnian civil war from some para militaric unit as a sign on their uniform. However the slogan and sign is still part of the official serbish flag, official serbish uniforms and still part of "serbish history" or their cultural selfunderstanding.
Thats like banning "god save the queen (corp)" or any other remotely historical stuff.
The recent brought up examples of bob and 5 show that you cant work with the big brush on those decisions, as bob bases themself on something totally different then "the easy company" which might be well known in america or europe but totally unknown in other parts of the world.
Same applies for 5, while we simply might have refered to our initial starting number others (including 5 members) know a 2nd class pop group going by that name.
Ive seen this in other games, when reporting "rulebreaches" became more important or decisive then actually beating your opponent ingame. I can only hope ccp steps on the break harshly, gives an open answer to all this from our "community manager" kieron and reestablished corpnames which have been around (and publically viewable) for 3 years.
If only 1 person takes offence after 3 years its maybe time to tell them to fk off, instead of annoying 100s of players, alliancem8s and players.
Otherwise change ur eula to "everything forbidden which even remotely produces any results on google". Welcome to the world of kanunuwasususakakaoloa penguin corp, unless the penguin is offensive in any part of the world.

erm dude your corpticker is ISS try to google it before you blow your own horn too loud (wrg to real live connections).
You should look up "tolerance" in an online dictionary, it works both ways as the SAS posted above you showed nicely.
