Personally, I am glad you got it changed. I don't find it offensive, just annoying, in the same way I find "leet" names and dumb names with numbers in annoying. Takes away from the immersion.
Having said that, Minmatar Citizen20070923 is also rubbish

Just for clarification - does the subject line of this thread refer to your choice of character name, or your opinion of the response that you got?

This is my biggest problem with how the "offensive names" list is handled. It seems that 9/10 people are petitioned for names that one must really struggle with to loosely fit into the "offensive" category.
This usually happens because someone one blew up a bear, whose only response is to mean spiritedly petition names.
Then the GMs tend to correct names, like Doctor Rectum for example, even though there are 50 other characters in EvE with rectum as part of their name that won't be corrected.

Uh, yes it is.
I'd hate to quote dictionaries, but your statement is just so odd I feel compelled to.
vul+gar ûadjective 1.characterized by ignorance of or lack of good breeding or taste: vulgar ostentation. 2.indecent; obscene; lewd: a vulgar work; a vulgar gesture. 3.crude; coarse; unrefined: a vulgar peasant. 4.of, pertaining to, or constituting the ordinary people in a society: the vulgar masses. 5.current; popular; common: a vulgar success; vulgar beliefs. 6.spoken by, or being in the language spoken by, the people generally; vernacular: vulgar tongue. 7.lacking in distinction, aesthetic value, or charm; banal; ordinary: a vulgar painting.
So Doctor Rectum fulfills, in one way or another, 1,2,3 and 7. 4-6 as well, if you want to take the viewpoint of an upperclass snob, and such a person would use it in a highly critical sense.

Originally by: Apocryphai 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.

Like the topic says, you're being really childish.

Originally by: Bentula Actually i dont care much about names, what i care about is getting some moralist forcing their values down on other people.
Im all for keeping games and corporate webpages "clean", not just for children but also because i prefer it that way myself as a adult. But there is a difference between profanity and simply naming the human anatomy.
Americans sometimes appear(not saying you are) to be a bit strange about sexuality. Also you appear to have no problems trying to force your values upon other people(this is neiter a US webpage nor a US game, its not even hosted inside the US), yet you throw a fit if any other nationality trys to impose their values on yourself.
If your a US citizen, and you find this and similar names vulgar and want it changed. Be honest for a moment and think about how you would think about someone else trying to impose his moral values onto a US game/webpage(for example a islamic person). Ill bet your immediate reaction would be to point out your freedom of speech.
WTF? CCP is Icelandic. I'm sure you think it's clever to blame the USA for everything even when they have nothing to do with it, but it's not.
Changing offensive or lewd names is not pushing your morals on someone else anyway. CCP owns the servers, the game, etc, and as such, they can enforce whatever rules they want. If you don't like it, don't play, but don't act like people are shoving their morals on anyone.
Freedom of speech has nothing to do with this whatsoever. It protects the individual from the government suppressing or censoring speech. It has nothing to do with a privately owned and operated game about internet spaceships.

guess who is offended the most by sex? bingo: USA now guess who is the worlds 1st in sex industry? righty: USA
let em be. at this rate they'll eventually find sex dolls instead weapons of mass destruction in iraq (well, next target was iran, or?)
HOWEVER... CCP is not american, so i don't see why they should censor so much.
Err... Next target is both France and Japan ?

To use an expression oft seen on this forum, apt to the level of this thread: Fail. I'm from northern Europe. And the post you quoted has little to do with my views, Doctor Rectum is vulgar in any society. Whether you like vulgar or not is another issue entirely.
I for one dislike Doctor Rectum partly because it's vulgar, but mostly because it's early/pre- teen humour. Past that period it's not humour at all, it's just silly, in a bad way.
