Can't Find Devs spot, so I'll ask here...name ban on new character? Nancy Pelosi

[Proserpina]

I went to make a new character named Nancy Pelosi and run her around Felucca for a little bit, hit create character and I get "UNACCEPTABLE NAME".

Now, I have been the queen of work arounds for some really unacceptable (and funny) names in the past, but Nancy Pelosi??? Seriously!!

Out of curiosity I tried making a character named Donald Trump (figuring that maybe political figures/celebrity etc. names are banned) and that went right through. He's standing in New Haven. Wth?

So Devs, can I have an explanation on why Nancy is unacceptable but Donald is fine OR in fairness ban all those names.

Thank you!

*goes to try Chuck Shumer*

AARRRRRRRR, methinks this do sound a bit misogynistic! Can ye make a character named AOC?

AAARRRRRR, if they a-gonna keep that in, they should at least also block "AVAT"!

 

[Proserpina]

Oo now that's a tough call, re-work Pelosi or go for AOC...decisions, decisions....

(thank you both!)

So your idea is to name a character after a real person, so you can run around in fel to presumably be killed?

This seems to be trolling, implying threats, and engaging in real life political discussion. Nice job, you hit a trifecta.

Also, the devs don't reply here. If you have issues with naming, take it up on the official forums.

As said earlier, names that contain the 3 letters of OSI are considered to be unallowed. There are several naming filters built into the client that usually have nothing to do with real-world politics or otherwise.
But speaking of, political discussion is not allowed in most areas of Stratics, so I am locking this thread before it goes down that road.

Not meaning to step on the lock, but the filters are a bit oversensitive. After all, consider the ironic humor of "Constitution" being a bad name in UO, for a game based in the DC area....
