    Sorry Berek, I have to agree with the group.
    Although Stinky Britches is a slightly questionable name (a term given by my grandmother and other women in the Midwest to babies with soiled diapers), it isn't one to ban.

    The name chosen to temporarily replace it is much more bannable! Fruit is a slang term for homosexual.

    Berek stands for a play of catch in the shower of concentration camps since a 90s movie... so everything is offensive now right?

    It's also a brand name so Berek should be changed. Advertising is not allowed. :rolleyes:

    I got flamed once on FB for using the word niggardly... in the proper context mind you.

    So this is a real thing these days... "outrage" over words that sound like other words? Really? God I must be getting old.

    Orwell, anybody? :eek:

    Uh oh, we've got a problem, people!

    Halloween is coming up! Portalarium is going to have a decoration contest. We'll have people setting out pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns, fake spiders and spooky crypts.

    BUT be aware, you may get banned if you dress up as a WITCH because someone might mistake you for trying to be a *****.

    (This sarcasm is brought to you by the letter R, and the words SANTA and THIS.)

    There was a girl in my middle school whose name was Autumn Sieman. Could she use her own name? o_O

    Yep. This was initiated by a complaint (report) by another player. Port really needs to stand up to bugus reports/complaints and not try to justify them. It would also conserve on the bandwidth.

    In the theme of your name the problem would not be a problem had the name been change to a similar theme. The problem revolves around the rename not be similar to the originators original name.

    I have read some excellent alternatives and some diatribe. Perhaps when the localized versions of SotA is completed localized names may be offensive and a only a small number of people will care. If Portalarium is intent on restricting potential charachter names then it is Portalariums fault for not restricting them during the Name creation phase of the game.

    Portalarium restrict the names that cannot be used during the name creation of the game.

    I lost it at "dampstar." I can see it now: "Fear me, evil! Tremble before the righteous fury of Roland Dampstar!"
