But I'm in my mid-30s and have learned that, yes, sometimes even a fantasy world can call for a little bit of dignity.

Even a fantasy world where the highest achievers among us are referred to lovingly as "poopsockers"?
Dignity, indeed!
Frankly, I enjoy a well done humorous name. I don't care if it's a phrase or a take on a real-world name or double entendre so long as it is clever enough to make me smirk. Now, "Hivpositive, Wowisbetter, Niglipz, Presidentobama, Nigplz(I've been leveling in Tox, obviously)" are all bad names. However, I like having characters named Herpules Weepingsores and Avulva Dentata and Allakhazam Dotcom and so on and so forth. It seems likely to me that the naming policies on live games are moreso to protect game makers from liability than to protect gamers' immersion, so I'm just not sure what the issue is here on p1999. If I were enforcing the policy here, I'd be inclined to err on the side of caution when forcing name changes. I'd eliminate the most egregious offenders and let those on the edge slide.
