User talk:Shard/Nonamesallowed

I fear for ym friends' guild, Shaking Babies :3 Why am I saying this here? No-one knows...I lol'd at the page, though.
 * Why was Super Kaon removed? I can't see anything inappropriate about the guild name at all. In fact it sounds like the name of a particle that you'd find in an atom but whatever.
 * Suka = Polish Slang for "Bitch", apparently. --[[Image: User_Ezekial_Riddle_sig.jpg|19px|Talk]] Riddle 03:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Was Polish the guild's primary language?
 * Not that I recall, but since it's offensive to a niche group, it's offensive to everybody. --[[Image: User_Ezekial_Riddle_sig.jpg|19px|Talk]] Riddle 03:46, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * they removed mini P i m p. i was disgusted at their discrimination against pimps. also for the record i had that name for like 1.5years.--173.59.20.251 19:58, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Wasn't It Super Kaon Action Team [SuKa] And Before That Endandgered Feces [DoDo]? [[Image:User Wild rituals signature.png|Talk]]Wild 09:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a lot of names that I honestly can't believe people thought would be allowed. They must be either very uninformed, or it was a lot more intentional than they make it out to be. 145.94.74.23 20:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ryan spelled it "Inher Erupter"...it always looked German to me.-- *Yasmin Parvaneh* [[Image:User_yasmin_parvaneh_sig.png]] 01:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Technically, "Annal" means a record. A deep record. ~ Chao 16:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A more accurate definition would be repository. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 01:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Naming filter
Do you have any interest in names that are prevented from being made by the filter? For example I had a friend from London who wanted the name Frosty The Cockney which was disallowed for obvious/stupid reasons. Misery  16:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Only names you're able to create, then get banned for. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 11:03, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Seeing as Anet won't release a list, of words in the filter I'm tempted to make my own, but I likely can't be bothered, it really seems like effort. Misery  15:42, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * They can't release a list. They allow people to have the names, they don't ban on the names themselves.  My buddy (and probably myself) got penalty for "Pve Assassins Blow," the second they looked at his account, but someone who has had "A Net Blows" for 3 weekdays after being reported still has it.  ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 20:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Siddharta is also filtered btw. i wanted to use it for my monk (makes sense) but i understand why it's not allowed Rhonin Soren 18:57, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Why is cancer a banned word in names?
Cancer can refer to a disease caused by excessive DNA degeneration or it can refer to a line above the equator at which the tropical regions begin. While most of the other names on the list are definitely inappropriate and deserve the name change, I don't see how a non-offensive reference to a medical condition is unacceptable. Perhaps it would be reasonable to name change a character named "Stupid The Retard" because it would be offensive to mentally retarded people Anet but if a name isn't meant to be offensive it does not deserve a block and name change.
 * Unlike the people who create these policies, I have a brain, so I'm not the right person to ask. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 11:03, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point. Hmm you know what? Anet's quite biased here. I almost think that someone could make a character named Retard Shard and it wouldn't get banned since Anet likes banning people that they want to as opposed to people who actually cause problems.
 * Why don't you test it then? Create the character, and then let a guildie report you. That would certainly show wheter all your baseless accusations were true or not. 145.94.74.23 06:17, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a great idea, let's do it. Xhata 08:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

C R A P For Brains
Banned because it's offensive to Anet.
 * I'm not a big fan of it either. -- [[Image:User Brains12 circle sig.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 16:22, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * But you don't work at Anet.
 * Crap isn't offensive. GW is rated T, not E. The game uses hell and damn in many places. For a warrior's name, that's pretty funny. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 20:23, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ...note to self: don't attempt humour. -- [[Image:User Brains12 circle sig.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 21:03, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't get it until you just now said it :P ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 01:53, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

A Question
How can you construe "B E A S T C H O D E", "The In Her Erupter", and "Deep Annal" to not have a sexual context? -- Riddle 15:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't. There is nothing in any part of GW or anet that says something can't be sexual.  Their are sexual themes in the game.
 * Also, The In Her Erupter is a play on the word "interrupter" (that character was a mesmer...a female mesmer at that). ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 09:04, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yet you don't want Come Honor [Face] on the list. SHARD IS A HYPOCRITE! Misery  10:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You can't say it on most tv stations, so it's obviously pretty bad. There's a difference between alluding to something sexual and being sexually explicit. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 11:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ryan's mesmer wasn't In Her Erupter...it was Inher Erupter. Learn to spell it right kthnx.-- *Yasmin Parvaneh* [[Image:User_yasmin_parvaneh_sig.png]] 22:00, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Should we add a notice to the user page?
How about "Do not post names that are obviously offensive or inappropriate"?72.71.236.130 02:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There already is... ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 02:16, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There is ON THE MAIN USER PAGE. It's missing on the Nonamesallowed page. I just removed a few names that are blatantly offensive or inappropriate (hope you don't mind).72.71.236.130 02:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I do mind. It's on the user page, it reads "Just list any character or guild name you've been banned for or had to rename that you thought was appropriate." ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 04:06, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually remember B E A S T C H O D E contesting his ban. His grasp on reality may be slight, but apparently he thought it was appropriate. Misery  06:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI, the B E A S T C H O D E was Adrin.-- *Yasmin Parvaneh* [[Image:User_yasmin_parvaneh_sig.png]] 22:01, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Did he contest the ban or am I making up my own reality again? Misery  22:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Idk if i contested that one or not. I did contest butthole mctigger however. -- adrin [[Image:User_adrin_ecto_sig.png]] 22:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I seem to remember a beastchode on Gaile's talk at one point, but perhaps that was another beastchode. Misery  22:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a good chance it might have been. Beastmode is that bad after all. -- adrin [[Image:User_adrin_ecto_sig.png]] 02:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I guess
illegal activities are against naming policy? so imma go make a name "jay walking" and see if it gets banned, then complain- for douchey purposes --→Darklɘs  McChaosmongɘr  21:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

[Vibe]
I just noticed that these guys were listed 5+ times in the top guild battles observe list. --Star Weaver 13:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they won a monthly AT some time ago and one of the guilds they beat cried to anet and complained about their name. They got the ban lifted after a week or so.  ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 23:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I Use S T D Curses
A lot of names make mine look no more offensive than a name like "Neck Row Man Sir". Oh well. Names are unacceptable due to being offensive, right? Well, I had that name for nearly two years. If I manage to not offend people for two years on a main character (average 6 hours a day on the account)... I can't help wondering why they didn't just let it slide.

It's not like that would stick out as strange behaviour, either. Just think about some of the things they've achieved... or ask Shard A F K  When  Needed 22:37, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Hehe....
Well, I didn't know what to put as subject. But the name "Gay Am I" would be offensive to other people in wich way? Looks like me he is just saying that he is gay. And what does "B E A S T C H O D E" mean? I don't get that one. And lol @ "Butthole Mctigger" it's a shame they banned that one, that is one of the funniest names i've seen. Censoring things is just stupid. Qaletaqa 23:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ow now I get "B E A S T C H O D E", I googled "chode". While googling I came up with some other names wich would prolly be banned and thought someone should try it to see if they actually would ban it, I don't have anymore character slots open anymore and am unwilling to delete a character to test it. But if you wanna know the names let me know. Qaletaqa 01:52, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The point of this list is to show names that have been banned that shouldn't have. Although, I think that a very small number of those names should have been banned (like B E A S T C H O D E), a majority shouldn't have. King Neoterikos 02:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Question
Why does [SuKa] still appear in the GvG predictions if it was (supposedly) banned? Stretching the truth again, or did your guild search for a specific tag you know could be banned but would make no sense to the average English player, just to rouse the rabble again? Note that these are questions, not accusations. 145.94.74.23 05:51, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, this guild was banned and there was a huge outcry. Eventually they got a rename with the tag [ban]. That was the last I heard of the issue. If you want details you can check Gaile's archives. Misery  06:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I'd seen the [ban] version a few times and wondered if they were the same team the fuss was raised over. --Star Weaver 09:16, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's listed in the Xunlai Tournament House with it's original tag...145.94.74.23 19:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't comment on whether it was changed back or if the XTH is just innacurate. Misery  20:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * All I can find is posts by Shard himself, and since he's awfully quiet here, I'm suspecting a hoax. 145.94.74.23 07:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * When I was in the XTH last week they had the tag [ban]. Misery  07:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Shard's on a trip right now, he wont be back for a while. -- adrin [[Image:User_adrin_ecto_sig.png]] 07:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, it has changed indeed. That's proof enough for me. 145.94.74.23 06:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * -.- Dark Morphon 15:58, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Come Honor [FACE]
That's actually a guild, it's been winning halls for some time now. I'm not sure how these guilds were banned and that one wasn't. - Maskeus  13:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
