Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
I often find myself pondering why blizzard name catcher didt catch some names, (like fockmenauw - yup that happend), and other names like Christkiller etc.. I find such names really offensive, and i would rather take a 30min cd in a dungeon then continue to be with ppl who have such names
Am i the only one who does this? - i am just curios if its me who is a bit sensetive about names, or wheter or not its a general issue for many ppl

I sometimes really headdesk when I see people use nasty or retarded names in my own native language (Dutch)
and it sometimes makes it hard to take people like that seriously >_>

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
But I don't do that in dungeons - as long as the person is doing their job and not trying to be a prick (outside of their name), then I'd rather just pull together and get it done as soon as possible, so we can all be free of eachother and go our separate ways.

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
For stuff that is truly offensive (hate speech, etc.), I report them, rather than just putting them on ignore.

Otherwise, it's like custom license plates and bumper stickers -- they serve as useful warnings about what kind of player they are.

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
What really, really ticks me off is the people on my server who post 'anal' and then links of achieves or attacks. It can get really disgusting and wrong really quick. One person use the 'for the children' achieve in theirs in the trade chat a few weeks ago-that seriously pissed me off enough to report them, when I generally just ignore them.
People doing stupid names I can get sometimes, but posting that kind of bs in trade chat is just really, really dumb. I can't count how many times I've ignored and reported people from that.

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
For some reason, I more often notice bad names in my native language (which is danish) and have to explain to the GM that the name is danish, and offending, or something like that.
But you're not alone Tårnfalk. I also feel disgusted IRL by character names sometimes.
I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
I *do* report names, though. Not often, but if I see a player (or pet!) named something especially crude or disgusting, I'll end up reporting it. I can't be the only one disgusted by it after all. (I've reported more pet names than player names. Things like "Douchebag" and much worse. Honestly, just leave the pet without a name if you're going to be so immature. >.<)

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
Same here. Player names don't get to me very often, I can't say I care what people choose to name their characters much, but when I see a poor pet stuck with a disgusting or crude name that riles me up and I report it.LupisDarkmoon wrote:I've reported more pet names than player names.

Re: Ignoring ppl only because their names offend you.
This is partly why unnamed pets don't bother me a bit - because easily 2/3 of the pet names I see are either stupid ("fuzzybutt", "goober", etc) or offensive.LupisDarkmoon wrote:Honestly, just leave the pet without a name if you're going to be so immature. >.<)
So when I see a "Wolf" or a "Spirit Beast", I mutter a silent thank you to the hunter for (possibly) restraining themself from something worse.
