    I hope that can eventually be replaced with a sentence or two of advertising dialogue as a player walk by them, similarly to guards' dialogue.

    Most pathetic thing I have probably ever seen. I think a low in moderation has now been discovered.

    This feels like an over reach to me. We are now moderating to the lowest common denominator.
    If someone cant read or mistakenly reports a name because they think a word is offensive, but that word isn't even in the persons name, and the name is still changed. Just doesn't sit well.

    I understand this is an 'edge case' but how long before illiteracy and dyslexia have gotten all our names changed? Ya know, just in case.

    So if I'm understanding this correctly then the word Britches is out.
    Baggy Britches
    Saggy Britches

    Dang man, it means pants. Gustappo much?

    The PC crowd is killing this game. We will eventually be made to use random generated names as some will go around reporting anything "they" find offensive. I agree. They should make a list. What some find offensive others find commonplace.

    Nah the game will fail before it gets to that stage. The PC crowd will be left scratching their heads trying to figure out where it went wrong.

    These are moderators who have banned players for typing "********". Also, I am banned from the chat server for many many months, no good reason, the ban has followed me to Discord.

    I just want to point out that @Berek is the name of a movie where adults run around naked playing catch in a Nazi Concentration Camp.
    So I suggest you rename yourself first before you force namechanges to other people for being suggestive. Yours is as well.

    Link provided http://blog.berlinbiennale.de/projekte/„berek”-von-artur-zmijewski-22232


    So go and rename yourself @Berek :p
    And watch the movie, as it is basically a work that revolves around censorship and why it is always bad. ;)

    Would seem more logical to have a data base of 'unacceptable names' or 'combinations forming unacceptable names 'so that dev time isn't continually tied up on issues such as this. Just my 2 cents.

    I have to get my eyes checked. I read Slinky Fitches and had to do a double take because on the first pass I saw Stinky Felches and was like... what?!
