naming policy rules... what are they?

[SchadenFreude]

A name is an identity. It is the only facet of the character that isn't merely a bunch of pixels, of ones and zeros, hosted on some remote server. Changing a name is akin to assassinating a reputation, of erasing "player to player" faction that has been carefully cultivated over time.

Changing a name, especially under the current circumstances, is also a blatant abuse of power. Yes, it is their sand box. Technically they can do anything they desire. If they wanted to shut the server down today, never to turn it on again, they have that power. Doing so, however, would be a completely jackass move ... Just like the current name nazi crusade is an abuse of power.

It shows a lack of maturity on the part of the people in control of the server. If they are going to do this, then what's next? Do I really want to exert any more effort to play in their sandbox if they are going to abuse their own rules in such an arbitrary manner? No, I prefer to seek more mature and benevolent leadership. The closing in of ranks to support the actions of this guide demonstrates that they would rather piss of hundreds of people to support a bad decision, than to reverse the capricious action and restore the appearance of a benevolent, but fair, server leadership.
