naming policy rules... what are they?

[nalkin]

I gotta say that I think changing names is a dumb idea. Nothing against Cyrius, cause he has been nothing but helpful to me and very quick to respond. I just think the gms need to get together and discuss this a little more and get the majority opinion of the server. Names don't ruin the immersion for me, I love seeing clever and funny names. Offensive or racist names, sure, those can be changed.

But, ya know what ruins the immersion for me? The fact that I'm sitting in front of an 18 inch monitor in my underwear typing on a keyboard that is slicker than spit from eating shrimp gat dang cocktail with my fingers. Not names.

The naming policy you are enforcing does not exist.

Wrong, it does excist, but is not yet released since we have to word it correctly to prevent people like you from loopholing it.

The actions you are taking are not in line with the posted rules.

GM-Descretion, i think i fit under this rule?

You, acting the role of cop, are enforcing rules that only exist in your head.

Again, those rules excist, just not for you to read yet.

It should not be difficult to understand why the server populace is upset with your actions.

Are they? All i can see is a handfull of people complaining. If you knew how many people i already renamed. The ones complaining are maybe 1% if at all. Miniority.

You are acting like a rogue cop that plays by his own rules, dishing out your own brand of justice, with no regard to what the posted rules actually state.

Again, i do have access to the rules that are to be enforced, and so will you soon. And i try this also another time, the rules state GM-Descretion.

I am not abusing my powers, not in the slightest. I do not favor one of you over the other, to me you are all the same. I treat you all the same. And i do not care if you are this "mighty" super uber skilled player from random_guild_001, if your name is against the violation, it will get changed eventualy.

The link i posted was to refresh your memory. We do not answer to you. And to quote Rogean again:

The developers of this project put way too much time into this for us to be put on the spotlight every single time we make a decision, ESPECIALLY when you ASSUME you know all the facts. 90% of the time, you don't.

I will highlight the whole sentence to you this time. Maybe its easier to comprehend then.

Yeah, posted and went to edit it like 3s after it was posted. Do you have an "Everyone is against me complex?"

No, but you should watch your mouth with your personal attacks, young one.

No but you've come in contact with people who have violated the naming policy and you've done jack sqaut about it. Why? Because they didn't personally offend you or no one sent a msg about said name yet? I find you're enforcement of these hypothetical naming rules to be hypocritcal.

Maybe because i simply did not notice? You see, i have other things to do then scan my screen for names at every second i am loged in. Most of the times i have ~1000 tells per hour. Changing names is not number 1 priority, unless its a vulgar name.

Again, like I said, GM Powertrip. Someone calls you on being a name nazi to your own personal agenda and includes, my name will probably get changed, so you go and change it. Sounds more like you did it just to piss him off and pump your GM ego.

Again, watch it with the personal attacks. I do not need to "pump" my GM ego, but i will get you suspended if you continue like this.

So. I was looking around the forums and lo and behold lookie at what I found.
The situation it arose from raiding, but it still applies here.

I'm getting quite tired of everything being questioned, everyone assuming they are experts in every decision being made. Its getting old quite fast. We make decisions based on our best judgements, often discussing large impacting decisions with several staff members first. You are welcome to report anything you may believe to be unjustified use of GM privileges to the petition forum or Nilbog and myself, but this would only be in situations where you believe a GM did not act as they are instructed so, and an investigation may occur, but do not think that this suddenly privies you to all information associated with any decision. I realize that the environment for our community is a little more open than such organizations as SOE Itself, with more direct involvement in the community by the developers, but there are certain ways things need to be handled, and they wont always be agreed on by everyone, but thats how it is in any scenario.
