Is there any way to have character names reviewed before approval? I saw one today that I actually had to look twice at- there seem to be a rash of crude, vulgar, and offensive names lately and I know it would mean hard work for Ben, but maybe we could have some Mods do it? I would volunteer, if it would mean that I don't have to see names that my mother would have washed my mouth out with soap for saying (and still probably would!)

Oh, let me clarify something really quickly. I do cuss, I'm 100% behind freedom of speech; HOWEVER I also believe in there being a time and a place for everything, as well as having some sense of common courtesy. We have younger players and some people who do get offended easily.

Can't we repeatedly flame those people until they leave?

Not really, then we aren't any more mature than they are.

Hmmm....I had a bad reaction to some names a while ago and posted about it. But Ben thought those names were okay.

I would be for the moderators being involved if that made technical sense and if there were clear guidelines.

Or maybe there simply need to be clearer boundaries set by guidelines at the time the name is being chosen?

I'd love to change Detective <insert offensive words>, to something like Fluffybear, Cutiepie, Snuffles. :)

I still think this should be up to Ben though. Not only because I think he is king of this site, but that it should be a limited to one or two people. Right now that would be Sunny and Ben.

God knows what would happen, if I got really really drunk.

Not only would you find messages shifted to the wrong boards. I would change detective names in to something cute.

Then again rumour has, that Sunny and Ben, like me, enjoy a good malt whiskey as well.

Great! That is ALL we need. A drunk admin who is control of what has become my life! :)

Then it gets worse! Sunny drunk? Who would we have to keep Ben working? :)
