kimbuck 746 Posted December 16, 2018 Some players make a bad choice when it comes to naming their avatars. They don't realize that first impressions outweigh everything else, so if you choose a name of someone with historical bad vibes... you can get banned or such without doing anything.! Some name choices are obviously intended to troll .. they arrive at spawn and then log out, leaving the avatar with an offensive name prominently as a form of "advertisement" ...and they think its clever ( yawn). Ok --- these names might be ok on a PVP server full of people running around going " Bang - Bang ..you'e dead" and destroying anything they can. but on a PVE friendly orientated server... well expect that you might not be able to log in afterwards when the undertakers remove the bodies. Names really don't bother 99% of the players ...just dont expect to get the welcome mat laid out when you try to break into someones house/base/ etc. and you will be ignored, generally. However there are some really offensive names that will get you banned promptly... like the " N " word , or variations on genitalia or other sexual content. Currently on our spawn island we had a " Sh#tMaker" arrive ...well we don't need one of them, as we are quite capable of making our own! Sadly with the advent of school holidays, we can expect an influx of these pre pubescent names. and types... and not all of them will be kids! But to those with clever, witty or sensible names ... welcome! I saw a cartoon that reflected the nature of today's times... a baby was been shown to a young mother by the obstetrician... and he was saying to the new mother... " sorry, you cannot use the name "Sarah" as that has been taken .. but sara1279 or sarah.463 are still available" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
