There is a blatant and unavoidable example of these naming violations well-known and obvious to everyone on this server.

Failure to act on that particular violation will clearly demonstrate favoritism on the part of the developers and administrators of this server, inequality in the application of the rules of the server and an overall corrupt server environment.

"Inglourious Basterds" is a 2009 American film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The Inglourious Basterds guild website found at http://ib.guildlaunch.com/ makes use of (copyrighted) imagery and music from the film.

The unusual spelling of the guild name and use of elements directly from the movie make it impossible to deny that the guild Inglourious Basterds has taken its name from the movie. This is inarguably analogous to having guilds with names like "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "World of Warcraft", "Coldplay: Parachutes", "New York Times", "Daytona 500" or "Facebook".

The integrity of this naming policy, the server staff, the server itself and the gaming community of Project 1999 dictates that the guild Inglourious Basterds be renamed. Any other action will demonstrate that this policy is only applicable to individual users with no political power on the server and not to large raiding guilds whose guild leader is a member of the development staff.

Edit: Fixed link.
The policy is about character names, not guild names. The only restriction on guild names is that they can't be offensive.
