today i was receiving evemail from eve system:
Quote: Your name is offensive to others and has been changed. You may petition for a new name. Please make sure the name you choose is neither offensive, nor taken already. You'll find our naming policy here: http://www.eve-online.com/pnp/namepolicy.asp
my alt name was Doctor Rectum
so i was browsing the naming policy page to find out if my name belong to some of the offensive names group.
from CHARACTER NAMES part, section B
i was able to find the full definition for what called "offensive names list"
here is the list:
Quote: Be obscene, vulgar, sexually explicit, offensive, hurtful, harmful, promote drugs, profane, anti-***, and ethnically, racially or sexually offensive or impart any real-world hostility toward a specific nationality, race or religion.
now ill try to find which part of my old name was "offensive"
1) Doctor
after a small google search i was able to find a nice definition for what is and where it is come from:
Quote: Doctor (title), a title of respect. It comes to English from Old French and is the agent form of the Latin verb docere, "to teach".
and i cant find Doctor to be part of the offensive names list.
2) Rectum
again after small google search for the word rectum i found a nice website that give a description for the word:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectum
Quote:
The rectum (from the Latin rectum intestinum, meaning straight intestine) is the final straight portion of the large intestine in some mammals, and the gut in others, terminating in the anus. The human rectum is about 12 cm long. At its commencement its caliber is similar to that of the sigmoid colon, but near its termination it is dilated, forming the rectal ampulla.
also here i cannot find any way how Rectum can be associated with the offensive names list.
many eve players around the systems allways use to tell me how my name is "Cool", "Awesome" and so on...
so please help me to prove "EVE SYSTEM" that Doctor Rectum isn't an offenceive. i really liked that name and i really want it back.
thanke you

If you dont understand how Rectum can be associated with the offensive names list, you maybe have a boring sex-life?

i really don't wanna sound offensive to you, because you are probably fragile or something but:
yes you can conduct sexual activities with the rectum. on the other hand you can do many other things with the rectum and the possibilities are endless....
rectum is just part of your body, nothing more. you choose what you are doing with it.

I love these "My name got changed!! Why?!!" posts. They're identical every single time, in every single game:
A young player, usually in their teenage years, makes a character with a "hee hee giggle giggle" schoolboy humour rude name. It usually involves body parts, excreta or sex. In the most childish cases it is a name that's truly offensive - racist or worse.
Surprise surprise it gets changed by the powers that be. Said teenager then proceeds to come onto the game forums and post complaining about it. They *always* attempt to justify their teenage toilet humour name by accusing others of being "fragile" and "immature", as if *they* are the grown-up one because they're not offended by bum/willy jokes.
You are by FAR not the first teenager to do this, nor will you be the last. The choice that faces you is this:
Do you learn from this and deal with it like an adult or do you continue to whine and pout and act like a child?
Being a teenager you are on the cusp between adulthood and childhood. Your choices in how you deal with situations of your own making are what determine when you cross over that line and become a grown up.

He probably pronounces the first part of his name Or-e-gone and not Orygun... Sorry, Oregon joke 
Who knows. I don't see the connections he's making, but alright... w/e. I honestly could care less about a name unless it is intended to be offensive (got an eve buddy who keeps a list of very funny/offensive characters in his bio), and I find it more immature to petition someone on something so trivial than to learn to deal with diversity or people who (god forbid!) have a sense of humor.  ____________________ Hi.

Ok, that was just a joke from me, maybe a bad one. I have no problem with that name of yours, i don't feel offended by that kind of names at all. Peeople could call themsef Dr S Uckmywhatever for what I care.
I do understand however why CCP changed it, why they cared. And if you don't find it offensive or sexual explicit, why did you choose it? Why not "Doctor Knee"?
Edit; lol, I just saw my sig

Funny you mention calling someone else this... but he was calling his in-game persona Doctor Rectum, not other people.

Apocryphai,
am almost 24 years old (in january to be accurate)
it might make me a child person. but why should you care about that if it dosent really hurt you that my alt name is as it is.
as many othres were saying here, get some sense of humor and you might be able to enjoy things more and hurt othres less...

Originally by: Bacon Flaps Hmm..I would think my name is vastly more offensive than his. I guess it's only a matter of time.
You get away with it because its more subtle than his, and a slang term rather than an anatomical word.
