Naming Policy - Page 16

I think this argument is attempting to make a point, but it's from a slanted perspective. Yes, many guild names would violate the character naming policy due to being outside the realm of fantasy, or a copyrighted work. However, here's how we fix this issue: If folks that are NOT in IB are being named-changed due to this policy, make sure that folks that ARE in IB are also receiving name changes where applicable. As far as guilds, let them stay what they are and as long as none are forced to change, then IB won't have any kind of "favortism". Ta-da! All will be fair and equal in the lands of project 1999, and we can all get back to arguing about something that matters, like football or religion.

It would be useless to argue that IB isn't in violation with the naming policy. They obviously are, and it's not even as if it's an amusing or clever name to compensate for the fact that they ripped it off one of last year's most popular movies. Whether or not the admins choose to enforce the policy is up to them, though it should be clear to everyone how it'll look if they don't address the most prominent infraction of the policy on the entire server, and especially when it concerns that particular guild. It would look especially strange if they were to actively and aggresively refuse to do it when called out on it.

Hi. It's a character naming policy. I wrote it. Character. Naming. Policy.

I appreciate all the illiterate petulance between pages 2 and 5, however.

So I just thought of something, I hate how I only think of stuff after things are already published!
Since we don't make a profit, we don't have a duty to remove names that are copyright infringements.

Since I'm getting tired of this getting lost in the childish banter, I'm gonna make sure this stays visible. The only thing about the rules that changed was that we're no longer doing them at player request. If you really think there's some conspiracy going on, no one's making you stay!
