I saw a character named*****inBum
It gave me a good chuckle....but then it made me think: shouldn't there be some kind of control on our names?

Edited by: Eris Discordia on 25/01/2004 02:25:48 To answer your questions, yes certain names are not allowed. Especially when they include profanity. You can petition to the GM's about it, and most likely their names will be changed.

My original name was Grn Fzirth (notice the lack of a 'y' in the first name.) Apparently, someone thought that it looked too much like Gm Fzirth and reported me. Now, consider that _all_ GMs in the game have GM in upper case - both letters. razzafrazzadorks.
In any case, I was asked by a GM to what he should change my name and here I stand (sit?) today as Gyrn Fzirth.
So yes, they do monitor names  =============== Killboard: http://www.celeskills.com

Well, no .. they rely on us to do it, primarily. I don't think anyone sits looking at all the names of new characters and deciding which ones are unacceptable .. but if you get reported for having an obscene/overtly political/offensive name, they'll take a look at it.

so where is the problem
not the homo part, but the erectus part?? or combo?
hes in evolution corp, and homo erectus is early form of man through evolution.
seems a creative name to me, not against rules. maybe you should not be a big baby |

WTS Humour Implant
even in a roleplay/game setting humour exists ... or is it going to get nerfed in the future.

Now why didn't you name your character Big Baby, I mean it's funny, how about fatmaninacontainer? 
At least you get what's advertised with Homo Erectus...

hehe someone i know started the game as Babylon ***** (incase of eris modding this cause *gasp* i avoided the filter: 5 letter word for prostitute :P) which got changed to Babylon Door...and stayed that way for about 2 months or so . They refused to let him change it again to something less stupid. Eventually it got changed to something latin  ========================= One small step for me, one giant leap for ALT-kind. |

Edited by: Skaz on 26/01/2004 15:02:14 Ohhh why do we always have to start being politically/morally correct? By the looks of it the average EVE player is about 20-30, I think that we're mature enough to handle a bit of profanity. I understand the need to censor some names, and I support it, but to cry about the censors not censoring enough???
Sometimes I don't understand the world 
btw, don't start flaming, this is a nice subject.

I think we're mature enough to do without the sexually frustrated profanity.
Why do people always hate a pundit? Yes, that's why.

Dunno about character names but I passed through a system in Domain the last night called Arshat.
That made me smile a bit ---------------------------------------------

I pride myself in having a slightly more refined sense of humour than to name my character p00pyhead for all the other infantiles to giggle at.

I certainly hope not Aren't our names controlled at conception by the sperm donors?
Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug!
Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.
