Yeah I should have been clearer in what I meant by names that are used to harass - things that are homophobic/racist/anti-Semitic are what I mean. But that's extreme. Like I said to the other poster who quoted me - I don't tend to report names at all. I do report racist/homophobic/anti-Semitic stuff when I see it.

They are filtering on a list of words even if found in the middle of another word.
Lol, too funny. I'd never understood why "parse" was filtered. (Wondered if it was some social engineering to stop people from talking about parses, actually.)

Well spotted!

Agreed. They seem to have given up any enforcement long ago. At launch, they were quite strict...but nowadays, they don't act on any.

Just throwing this out there: but that's really easy for a man to say. Seriously. If we men walked a day in women's shoes, we'd change our act really quickly. Don't believe me? Ask some women, genuinely, the level of bulls**t they deal with. Every single day. Just because of 'a part they happen to have.' Perhaps it is something in most men's makeup, that we deal with things differently, but, I bet you don't even recognize the degree of crap that women put up with. On a daily basis. You think, 'ha ha ha,' what a dumb name. /ignore! That girl though ... well, she may have a slightly different outlook based on how much s**t she dealt with that day.

Disagree all you want, but you may want to look at it from more than just a male's POV.

Also: having a daughter will (at least should) change your opinion on our world.
Good. Bad. I'm the twi'lek with the saber.

You are playing a computer game on the internet. Its funny and sad when people complain about something quite stupid to even care about in the first place. I mean do you ***** and moan when people swear out in public?

sigh. Please stop being offended by words. You're not that special and if you get offended by words, it's your problem, my special little snowflake. Get over yourself. /sigh

Depending on the venue, hell yes I'd say something. Are you so meek and afraid that you wouldn't? There are places that swearing simply isn't tolerable.

You're confusing knowing right from wrong with "being offended" I think. I have no issue reporting names that are ridiculously over the line. The only time I get "offend" is when the offender pleads ignorance and assumes I'm stupid enough to believe it.

I suspect that reporting a name isn't enough. I think it requires a certain number of reports before it even flags in their monitoring program.

It just means you're just one of the very few who cares enough to report it and therefore you are deemed insignificant. Welcome to the world of big numbers.

OMG, this always baffled me, especially saturday, lol.!

Regarding names, while I tend to be unimpressed by people with joke names, I only report it if it's particularly offensive or degrading to others. It really does piss me off on RP servers, though. It's pretty much a big **** you to everyone there who rps or values immersion. Although the people doing it probably don't think about it that way.
