'The only names I can logically conclude as an issue would be those with meanings that parents wouldn't want their children seeing.'
No, please, no.
I dislike stupid names. The name I use in role-playing games is (by design) about as generic as they come. But 'think of teh children' strikes me as the worst, most inane argument out there. The entirety of humanity shouldn't be stuck living in a G-rated world just to protect the delicate sensibilities of 6-year olds and their frightened soccer mom parents. This particularly applies to an emulator server of a game that was made before today's little children were even born.
I vote for restricting dumb names because they're moving eyesores--the video game equivalent of roaming graffiti. They're annoying and ugly to *normal* people; whether they're objectional to 6 year olds remains wholly irrelevant.
All that being said, I've never reported any name, be it here or in any other game. While I have my opinions on the matter, those opinions aren't strong enough to motivate me to go out of my way trying to police such things.
