So y’all know how harsh has the situation with renaming been…I mean it’s fine when sts bans just downright goofy or offensive igns, but there’s some ppl who lost their igns just because it’s a “scary” word(e.g. Drug, yourdrug, genocide, Aids, and probably much more that im not aware of). So I had an idea. What if a player that has “borderline” inappropriate ign just gets a new one from a pool of banned/reserved igns?Lmk what you think on that.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. We're not going to rename character a banned/reserved name. A lot of times we will work with the player on the rename.

From what I heard, players are often renamed without them knowing it coming… I might be wrong ofc.Quote:

Not a banned name/ inappropriate if that's you thought anyways.Quote:

I see. We have a policy of not reusing banned names, so this won't happen.

Is banned account goes in this policy ?
Because you are banning accounts, not names most of the time.
Would be great to delete banned accounts if you can't recover it and make free IGNS again ! This would help.

So I could purposely name one of my character offensively and than get an op banned ign which isn’t offensive? How about just them give a free rename instead of jus t randomly naming them
Included with outright banned names is names from banned accounts. If Fluffybunny is associated with a banned account, Fluffybunny can no longer be used -- ever.

Ill also explain for the devs sake. Using a banned IGN serves absolutely no purpose other then ego boosting. Not only would using a banned name be useless, it’ll also permanently damage the reputation of the person with the new name. For instance FluffyBunny gets banned for scamming and a majority of AL players are informed about this. Now the new named FluffyBunny has a false reputation of scamming which then leads to mass reporting, drama, etc. Let’s normalize creative names and not intelligible words. ~Tac
