This could easily be fixed by requiring guild submissions to be accompanied by an academic paper on:

1. the meaning of the guild name
2. the merits of the guild name
3. the history and etymology of the guild name
4. the mission and goals of the guild
5. full reports on the life and morals of all guild leaders and founding officers
6. a description of how the guild will apply morals and ethics to modern day norrath
7. accurate citations

And then only approved if the guild is deemed worthy.

or you could use common sense and not make guilds like holocaust or blacks or let people run around with names like phaghagg in guilds called gay blades or you could not allow a dude to run around named kuntikuntay or nigs but fuck it lets get on the forums and pretend like we give a shit and it only happens because someone has a thesaurus and is willing to act dense as fuck

Capitalizing the first letter of a word does not change it's meaning, as a matter of fact that may be the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

I wish I had an award to give you. Like I said if they're guild name was The Holocaust you would have grounds, you choosing which definition of a word is the one they are using cannot be substantiated.

Basically you cannot prove in any way they are using Holocaust to reference the events of WW2, and since it has meaning independent of WW2 events, you got nuthen!

actally pretty big difference when you capitalized a word dependent upon the context. For instance if i slayed your god, i could be referencing any denomination of religion but if i slayed your God i'd be speaking of Christianity.

My post was not meant to rustle you. But I see that it did.

Holocaust has a meaning independent of WW2. It's a word in the english language. We cannot change everything on the server because it may or may not offend someone.

Fag and ****** are not words they are slang terms that were created solely to offend with bias. Names like Phaghaag already do violate the naming policy, blacks could also be considered a guild name violation.

Trying to equate Holocaust to the word Fag or ****** is a clear sign that you either lack critical thinking skills or a firm grasp on the rudimentary fundamentals of the english language.

You guys are so dumb, if you make a guild called holocaust the H becomes capitalized because it's now a name. Stop splitting hairs and attention whoring.

No they're is absolutely no rule in grammar in which capitalizing the word changes it's definition. It's actually so ridiculous it's absurd, the only point your proving right now is that you aren't smarter than a fifth grader. And that you lack even a basic grasp on your own native spoken tongue.

say the stupid asshole arguing over points already addressed in the fucking thread who obviously read a couple posts at the end and decided to jump into it just because
