Names on RP server

When are you going to start enforcing the naming rules on your one and only true RP server, Bloodsail Buccaneers?

Why are you letting all these people foul up the server and make it to 60 with character names that CLEARLY violate one if not ALL of your naming rules for RP realms?

Please, start forcing name changes. You can’t say you don’t know about it. Countless name reports have been filed. What are you waiting on?

Mi mi mi.

Who are you to say their names aren’t allowed?

There are three “true” RP servers, and nothing will happen to a name unless it is reported.

The onus is on us!

They must all be purged!

Blizzard doesn’t have some algorithm that detects non-RP names. You have to report offending names. Quit whining about it on the forums and get to work.

Keep reporting. Don’t let the idea that they’ve reached 60 make you think Blizzard saw it and let it stay. Players who do completely inappropriate names often do so quite intentionally, and aren’t averse to changing it to worse names or to the same name again. Sometimes it takes a couple times before the GM sees the pattern and acts more strongly.

Ignore attempts (like this) to get you to not report violations. Right-Click Reports are seen and addressed by Blizzard moderation just fine. The proof is in the the multitude of threads in Customer Support where a blue confirms they were reported for X and they were definitely in violation of Blizzard’s rules.

This would be considered a strawman. Gnomish and Goblin technology that exists in game is not the same as real-world technology that exists out of game. Something like Spaceshuttle or Smartphone would be non-Azeroth and not a gray area at all, compared to Punchcard or Airplane which might be dumb but are tech that exists in Azeroth.

The “cringe” is people that treat others badly just because they have a different playstyle.

Borrowing this, since it has more to do with CS than specifically Classic Realms.

I think it’s less about first world problems, and more about specifically selecting a realm for a particular rule set. You aren’t on an RP realm, Tanknstein, obviously, so it seems to matter little to you. What is more than a little disheartening is some people going out of their way to belittle folks who they obviously don’t identify with because something may be important to them that is not to you.

True ProTip: If you understand the rules that you agreed to abide by and take an interest in your community, use the right click report option to report names that may be inappropriate. Or, as in the case of an RP realm, those that may run contrary to that genre. That way our staff can review those reports.

If you don’t understand the rules that you agreed to abide by yet insist on violating them, be forewarned that you are still subject to them.
