Today, one of your admins, BitterSpock, changed his name to LesGoBrandon. It literally means F Joe Biden. If you don't believe me, read the Wikipedia about the term here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Go _Brandon. So, to make my point, I made up the name F_DJTrump and was threatened with a kick. BTW, I was a donator to your server, but not sure I'll ever be back if you have admins openly flaunting your rules. I do want to apologize to Angus, because he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Also, the rules page is down. |

Thanks for the post Crazy. I just made a similar post in another forum on here. As I said during gameplay, I don't care what someone's politics are. Agree, or disagree with the meaning behind "LetsGoBrandon" it still doesn't belong on the server. |

As far as I know, Crazy56 is not an admins nor has access to rcon, so how exactly do you know that it was in fact BitterSpock who changed his name? Bitter knows the rules good and well and although 'no politics' isnt a numbered rule we all try to steer away from the political chat. I cant see him making that name personally given what it means. Id appreciate some clarity please |

MTip, I am not any sort of admin, but Angus told us that it was Spock and his hands were tied. |

I believe and find too much interpreted here, as a German I don't even know that certain names have such a meaning, I also have no problem when people talk about politics, only they should do it in the team chat or on Teamspeak and not all of them Time to spam the screen. |

I'd like to add my $1.50 to this conversation. ($1.40 added for inflation) #1) If you are warned about a particular topic in the "GAME CHAT" there is a specific reason for that. It causes issues and is not game related..period! This applies to many topics that can cause hot tempers. That kills a server! #2) If you ignore the request of admin to cease a particular discussion then yes, you may be removed, and that's directly related to my first point. 3) There have been many many semi and quasi political names and slander of those names over the last 2 years in this server, and at no time did ANYONE make a fuss over it. #4) Unless a name, or part of a name, is DIRECT SWEARING (ie: fuckyou), or is considered as INDIRECT SWEARING (ie: F-You) or is a disgusting name (I see no need to be disgusting..we all know what that means), or is directly insulting to a group of people, or is racist in nature (ie: the N word or other racist epithet) then it is generally allowed. I take personal offense to having the name of God or Jesus being used in a profane manner and in my mind would be perfectly justified in banning them as that is the actual definition of swearing. As you know we have a player who has used an off spelling of Jesus for quite some time (Gesus) and he is still here, still playing. BTW, we do NOT have a rule about discussing politics. We prefer not to see it in the game chat because it is polarizing and causes hot tempers. In closing, we can nitpick over names all day long and still not come to a resolution, or we can go after the raw ignorant ones. I prefer the latter as we are not a designated "Christian" server and would have everyone jumping to rash decisions and illogical assumptions over a name.
