how would you like it if a cop shot you anytime you did something to irritate you?

mages: thats not me. Someone took the name before i had a chance to squat it.

Yeah, I had a feeling it wasn't you. He was actually intelligent. Lol! Just kidding. Don't kill me. >.<

1) Your name was changed because it was determined, by Murdock, to be against the Terms of Service. This was not an arbitrary decision.
2) Dakkon did not tell me to change your name, I made that choice with input from our CSR lead. Dakkon told me, name him after some sort of Jelly brand. So I did. He gave me the name.
3) You proceeded to delete the character, and remake it, thereby avoiding the punitive measure that was taken against you, as well as going far enough to create other names in violation of the ToS. This was then discussed with our CSR lead, who then informed me to ban your account permanantly, as well as any further accounts you had created.
4) You recieved the wrong message, your Pantiesrox account should have recieved the Innappropriate User ID TSR, I will see to it that you recieve the correct one.
5) When I warped to you, in general chat, you were warned your name was against the ToS, you chose to argue, so you were kicked and it was changed.

No. you'd know its not me because he was a mage (ew) I dont use mages. I barely even use them to farm.

I was really hoping you'd post in here.

1) You never mentioned Murdock at all. You never mentioned anyone before the fact. and after you changed my name you only mentioned Dakkon.

2) Lol. Looking back on it, the name was mildly humorous (mostly because of the fact it was still some kind of jelly). Still asking me what my name should be, or possibly even warning me before hand would have been nice.

3) You'll excuse me if i still don't understand how my namy is in violation of ToS. and if it is, how come it wasn't changed way back in Closed Beta. 20+ levels on closed beta, 25+ levels on Teva server in Open Beta, and 23 levels on Apoline server. And i know i haven't gone unnoticed (remember you warning me about scamming gold farmers?) no action was taken then but its taken now? seems ludicrous to me. As far as the other names, I won't argue that one. I did act childishly. Its just once again, why wait over an hour to ban me for that offense? why not just ban me right after i did it?

4) Just got the right one. that does help that you at least banned the account with some sort of valid reason (albeit a BS one in my opinion)

5) you never said anything in general chat. you warped to me, i made mention of you disliking my comment because you were "mean mugging" me then i was disconnected. no chat bubble over your head the whole time, i know, i was waiting for a reply.

really, the oddest part about all of this was I was originally trying to get your attention so i could get you to pass along a message to DSChang. when I was banned and i attempted to get a hold of him through another contact, my message was finally passed along. so in the end, my "dakkon>kalaan" statement fufilled its purpose. Be careful what you wish for i guess, huh?

I agree with KY that it might have been better to ask him what name he'd like it changed to. If I remember correctly, another member who had a name similar to Marijuana had her name changed, but the GM asked her what she'd like it changed to, and then changed it.

Also that does seem a bit on the overkill side for banning, maybe a temp ban but yipes lol

Albireo · 10-23-2007, 02:16 AM

I agree with O-mie that a ban was way over the top.
i dont know exactly what happened since i wasnt there but i say just a name change and no ban at all.
To me that punishment just sounds cruel and unusual.

Izanagi · 10-23-2007, 02:17 AM

The ban was put in place not for the name, but for the avoidance of the punitive measure. That is like getting out of the prison when the GM places you in there, or creating a second account to spam "F*** you GM* after your first one was suspended.
You repeatedly flaunted the rules after action was taken, namely the name change.
That was the reason you were banned.
I do not give the players the option to change their own names if I see an offensive one.

Maybe thats why a lot of MMO's don't allow copyrighted names... ^^;;

IE:
Sasuke
Sephiroth
Skittles
Wal Mart

Lets all hug and go watch some Jeff Dunham together now :3

repeatedly being... once?

like i said, i understand that you had a valid reason to ban me, i just feel that reason was kinda cheap.

Also, i think i should let it be known i have no hard feelings over this, i just wanted to tell my story and hoped you would eventually respond to it and i could get some answers (since my first attempt by reaching you on outspark didn't work)

I appreciate you explaining this. It has changed my view of you, although i stick to my Dakkon>Kalaan statement.

edit: messara threw his post in while i was typing.

yes, he's a mage. i met him in game a few times and kindly told him to delete that char and give me my Fing name back. he refused, oddly enough =/

the mention of the pedo and loli thing is funny, but i really dont want to describe it for fear of implicating a friend.
