I didn't find the name offensive. Thought it was kind of bland considering there are far better offensive names. Like all the ones that use the word *****...starts with a P. Or how about the character named Handjob? Or all the characters with the word Anal like "anal assassin" or "Anal Beard" (anal beard being way funnier than Doctor Rectum).
I'm an American. Which stereotype do we have to throw out next about the whole prude/childish thing. Or are we just going to keep going on with that crap...

As another Northen European i think that the name "Doctor rectum" is funny. It is a sexual reference made into a eufinism, and therefull qualifies as "Parody". And i think it's funny.
Someone who calls him/herself "Incontinentia C. Unt" is also funny as hell. You don't agree? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPGb4STRfKw Monty Python tells you otherwise.
I think vulgar and sexual names should be allowed. Why can i watch violence and death on TV and not decent ****? Away with hypocrisy, Doctor Rectum must stay!

I've seen someone by the name of "Run ******s Run" (apparently censored here - another word for africans) in a station today, and you people are whining about Doctor Rectum? wtf?

i was naming that topic as i did because i think that it was childish to come down on me and force me to change the name.
for a really nonsense reason.
besides that i already heard about other similar cases when the real victim was the one that was forced to change his name.
and definitely i have some child in me that made me name my alt after i seen a movie when someone was represent himself as "doctor rectum" in the phone.
i don't think it is a genius name or the most funny name. i just like that name as it is. and all i was desired was to create a topic in the forum that will help me get the name back, by proving that it is not an offensive name.
and i think that at least 90% from you, were actually supported that even if it was a replays like:
 Quote:
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.
or
Quote:
I don't find it offensive, but you lose just because you think you're being clever and funny, and you score 0/10 on both counts.
and as someone was saying above:
a violence is ok, but body parts are not?
if you cant find people with extremely vulgar names in eve, then am sure that you can find hundreds with really violence names
there is definitely no need to force your will on others and
please let us live our own life the way we like, as long as we don't hurt anyone else.

I thought I would throw in my opinion as a "prude" American. I don't find this name offensive because it is vulgar or has to do with sex. It does not offend me to say ****, ****, crap, ass, anal, rectum, diarrhea, etc. Yet, in the context, I find it horribly offensive. I find it to be immature, containing not an ounce of humor, dull, boring, and rather uncreative and lame. The same goes for many other names in this thread.
The fact is that this name is extremely offensive in terms of aesthetics. No matter how you look at it, a rectum is basically used as storage for excrement and is not a suitable name. As far aesthetics go, I would have assumed that most Europeans would agree with me on this point. But I guess that a lack of taste is not something unique to Americans.
Also, I would like to add that while many Americans can be a bit prudish or puritanical at times, please don't assume that all of us are. Please also note that finding the aesthetic value of the name Doctor Rectum to be quite a bit less than zero is not at all prudish or puritanical.
If I were CCP, I would have handled this in exactly the same way. There may be other names out there just as lame, but it seems it would be a waste of time unless someone complains as there are obviously too many people out there with this type of name. I have to admit that it would be nice if these people were banned, but I suppose the population of Eve would suffer were this to happen. For now, I'm happy knowing that names like this are changed when complained about.
For the record, I wouldn't waste my time complaining when ignoring the person is so much easier and just as effective. I adopt more of a live and let live attitude about such things. I would not have reported your name OP, but just the same, I am glad to see it changed.

No, the name wasn't especially funny or good. But, it is hypocritical to the extreme that if I would create a character named e.g. Dr AbdominalLaceration, I wouldn't have any problems with keeping it.

By the way, with the European vs. American theme in the thread, I'm curious as to where you are originally from. Also, congrats for learning a second language. I have a friend from Cambodia who has lived in the US for many years now and your English is almost as good as hers.

LOL, you must be from the US or something... The definition of "Rectum" was posted further up, go ahead and read.
"Doctor Rectum" is not more sexually explicit than "Doctor Tongue" or "Doctor Finger".

You will find that in most countries of the world it does. Being a paying customer entitles you to the service you paid for (even if the EULA says otherwise).

Originally by: Minmatar Citizen20070923
today i was receiving evemail from eve system:
*Snip*posting GM communication is not allowed*
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
It would appear your the BUTT of a GM joke :D.
Bottom line, there decision is final. But you may find some colace in the Latin language. Dr Rectus :). That said, be creative, invent a word. It is after all your right to define your own destiny and not a bottom feeder :).

Did you mean eufemism? If so, Doctor Rectum is certainly no eufemism. Since I'm not sure that's what you meant, I won't quote the dictionary here again, but I do think you should make use of it. For most of us, rectum does not inspire positive associations, not even when combined with Doctor. It's also too banal, too crass, and doesn't have the cleverness to excuse said qualities.

That sketch is silly humour, but the reason it's a bit funny is because of the discrepancies in understanding between the characters, and the resulting powerplay, not just biggus dissus.
Here's another example of juvenile humour, that people grow out of sooner or later. I'm sure you've seen it before though. It has none of the added dimensions the Monthy Python sketch has, and is therefore only funny to early teens and maybe fratboys, or those who share their mentality.

In the world we live right now, everything is offensive and vulgar. Kids play violent and offensive games. Deal with it. If you don't like it don't look at it. I don't go around petitioning names I don't like. If I did everyone would be named Caldari citizen or something of that nature. As for CCP, they need to filter names THEY don't like at character creation screen.

As a proud American rectum user, I protest to the nationalistic antagonism in this thread. We have a proud history in this country of passing things through our rectums, both in and out. And I'm pretty sure we invented the thing with the gerbil as well.
I'm enjoying my rectum even as I type this. Mmmm.

Meh. It's childish. Whatever (limited) humour can be derived from the name presumably comes from the fact that it is somewhat offensive - or, if the word is not offensive in its own right, then its juvenile application certainly is.
Please note that there is a difference between a word being offensive, and it actually offending people. I can't speak for everyone here, but I'm certainly not offended by the name "Doctor Rectum". I did, however, facepalm the moment I read it.

Well, I personally don't think it's "offensive" but anyone who told you that name was "cool" or "awesome" must have been moronic in the extreme.

well i didn't find the name offensive or in any way funny, yes vulgar to the extreme, however i am glad ccp blocked it and asked it too be changed....
why
cause you are being childish, crying over a changed name that you knew would be offensive to some, if you can't see that then you need to get your head out of the sand man!
If you like to play the game whilst making childish sexual innuendos then that is your choice, but you must have been aware that sooner or later someone would complain and you would get nabbed....life moves on...shame you haven't
