So would you prefer them just to 100% adhere to SOE's ruleset? (clearly they would have to reword it or run the risk of some end-around copyright violation lawsuit)

No, I would like a ruleset that isn't just "The Opinion" of whatever GM is currently volunteerinig at the moment.

To one degree or another opinion is going to enter into the equation. Take five people in any environment and give them even the most basic set of rules and they're all going to interpret them slightly different.

Take this for example:

Common words that would not be found in a Norrathian setting: Switchblade, Microwave, Phaser, Sloegin, Website, Cannabis, Computer, etc. are all examples of this type of name. Also included here is slang common to the gaming culture, such as leet, uber, or phear.

Is Taxi a common word? is Schadenfreude? (maybe not in the U.S. maybe so in Germany)

I think someone here should make their own server and terrorize the way they see fit. You don't pay to play you, hell you get all of this shit for free. How much have you donated in the last 3 months? el zelcho?

Well said. I have, however, clicked the various links on the home page on a daily basis. Ironic, that those links are usually for services that are banned on this server, but hey ... why be hypocritical?

No I don't pay to play but when you change someone's name that appears to be following the naming policy and then get shown to be in an SS of people who's name should actually be changed, it appears there's a bit of a conflict there.

So Cyrius goes out of his way to change Schaden Fruede's name but, I'm assuming, leaves all those others in the SS the same? It's a power trip plain and simple and people should know that the GM's on this server have power trips and can change your apparent RP name at their whim.
