Some things just come down to allowing flexibility in their naming conventions, which, by the other names I saw, does allow for some artistic licence.
Ummm nope the Naming policy is pretty darned basic. No real leagaleeze there. And honestly you can be flexible.....I just can't figure why being named after an affliction is so very important to you.....

Synful in no way means a part of the human anatomy. That name means Sin Full. That name fits a dark side player perfect.

On a UK server.
Guess Bioware is completely out of touch with Britian.
That word is slang for a bodily function. As such it is against the naming policy.

I dont get how they censor stuff when you pick a server it clearly states chat and names will not be moderated.

I think they are going a bit out on a stretch here. If I was on an RP server, maybe; however, I'm not.

Guess I'll see if they kill my character. If so, I'll be skipping my retail purchase.
This is worrisome to me as well. I'm a fan of medically themed names (in fact I've used anemia before). I think there needs to be some clarity on where they draw the line when it comes to offensiveness and whatnot, because there are people who will abuse and greif by feigning offense.

Chat and Names are moderated they are not moderated for Role Playing. Big difference.

If you can have a character named Anemia you can have a character named, Aids, HIV, Syphilis, Cancer or what have you. If names like that are that important to you, some would say you aren't hear to play but to get attention.

I think the policy is pretty darned reasonable and is a lot more flexible than most.
