naming policy rules... what are they?

The more you tighten your grip, Lord Vader, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

If a rule percieved to be mostly unimportant is over-enforced, we may see an influx of rebellious names because players know they outnumber the devs by a wide margin. P

Yet those players don't have the right to pick and choose how the servers run.

I'm only suggesting that over-enforcement of a naming policy will probably lead to people intentionally making offensive/inappropriate names just to get away with it and try to prove some point. Clearly, there isn't much of an automated filter for character names, so it all falls on the volunteer staff to police player names. That said, the potential exists that over-enforcement (player-perceived or otherwise) might indirectly spawn more inappropriate names than there were to begin with.

Im in full support of naming policies in general -- i see enough irl stuff in my real life, I like to not think about it so much in my gaming. I would prefer to SoD like enforcement honestly.

Problem is most of the people that feel this way dont hang on the forums.
