He should tell them that before wiping their toon's UI. Considering, unless im wrong, this is a rule that isnt written anywhere in the official rules. I cant beleive hes going to go and change all these names.

You need to calm down.

If you want to get technical, it is in the rules.

Server Rules thread.

- Character renaming can and will occur if a player’s name is offensive. (GM Discretion)

Definition of offensive:

Causing anger, displeasure, resentment, or affront

Definition of discretion:

freedom or authority to make judgments and to act as one sees fit (esp in the phrases at one's own discretion, at the discretion of)

With that being said, he is following almost the exact same naming policy as live GMs used.

We will post more formal rules when we can. (Yeah I don't give a fuck how soon anyone thinks I should do it. The name policies are being reviewed by the Developers and guides.)

What a waste of GM time. And unless more than 1 GM is on it and for hours and hours, its a total waste of time because unless theres a real concerted effort on renames, its never going to stop. Its like removing global OOC and letting people create private channels.

Is there really a waste of volunteer time? When I pass by the Salvation Army should I tell them they are wasting their time, because they will never be able to feed all the hungry people? Anyways, this isn't at the forefront, nor will it be. Petitions are done in a triage manner of urgent to non-urgent. If your name gets changed, it might be because someone petitioned against it, or you happen to pass by a Guide or GM. No one is out looking for them.

To me, it looks like you were trying to call a bluff, and it didn't work out in your favor.
