naming policy rules... what are they?

Schadenfreude is not "Harm Joy" as your broken translation claims.
It is a colloquialism in both German and English, feel free to Google it.

Astarothel, pleased to meet you.

The words, separately, roughly translate to "Harmful" and "Joyful". I am well aware that the composite word, Schadenfreude, means (roughly) "to take pleasure in the harm of others, especially if that harm is caused by their own actions". Which is why, when the senior guide nuked my name in a petty and power-abusive manner, I found it to be so ironic. It should have been very clear, if you read my post with the screen capture, that the irony was not lost on me.

The guide knew what it meant. I knew what it meant. Half the server probably knows what it means. It was a buzz word in 2008 to decribe various politicians self destructing, while their political adversaries watched in glee. It is not, however, "offensive". I doubt that an offensive word would have been broadcast so widely on the public airwaves if it was "offensive". As such, it does not violate the one rule on this server that deals with the naming policy.

I am very aware of what schadenfreude means. What's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
