So I'm off PL for one day and log in tonight to find my name has changed from BOOTYSTOMPER to YEGOBOR! WTF?? Has anyone else had this happen to them?? I've had my IGN for over a year and never seen anything like this occur!

Someone must have reported your name as "inappropriate." If and when it happens and STS changes it, you get no warning. (You don't get a free rename either.)

To be honest, I have seen worse names in-game and on forums.

Inappropriate names will be changed, sooner or later.

Geez - why the hell would they change it now? I've had it for over a year and no one's complained. In fact, I've seen names a lot worse than BOOTYSTOMPER...

This really sucks. My ign is my signature, and everyone I play with knows me by that name. I can't see how anyone could find it 'inappropriate'....smh.

If STS is going to do this, they should at least let us know and give us a free rename.

I can understand that Rushorgtfo or Alwaysdtf might be inappropriate because of this :

3. Please, no Profanity.
Thanks in advance for keeping the language on the forum clean and not profane. Intentional misspellings of swear words
are also not allowed.

But why are names like Kanital or Ponar renamed ? Are they swear words in other languages ? I could not find something out about it.

Absolutlely! I don't mind if STS has an objection to my name, as long as they at least have the courtesy to let me know why and give me a chance to rename. Just changing it with no notification whatsoever seems a bit harsh >:(

Wow. Calling Bootystomper an "inappropriate name" is is over the line. That's a completely g-rated name in my opinion.

Bootystomper = Me wearing a pair of bootys (cute way to say boots, or a way to say dog boots) and then stomp with them, doesn't sound dirty at all

Even if you meant booty in the other way (as in a person's rear end), I don't see how anyone could find that offensive.

Kanital is still mad about his renaming. So, I made a char named Hohofizaquis.

Yeah, the whole thing is more than a little silly. IMO, if you have a name for more than a month, that should count for something. That is, if nobody "got offended" for that long, then they shouldn't be changing the name unless it's completely obvious the name is way out of bounds. And to let it go for over a year and then suddenly decide it's unacceptable? That's just ridiculous.

All this really means is that "objectionable names" are being decided by whoever happens to handle the ticket and without any kind of rules or standards for what's good and what's bad. Apparently you got some STS employee who was just in a really bad mood that day or has a brain the size of a dust mite. My condolences.

Mmm... Probably not your time of the month, then. Usually, girls tend to be really grumpy on those days... Sounds like you're not o_O... So... You're thinking about it... So... That must mean it's coming up... So... Yours must be coming this week :D! Oh gawd, I don't know if I can ever be a teacher. I digress way too much.

Could be. I'll probably never know since the admins surely aren't going to divulge that information. I did get it changed, however, to NOODLESTOMPER :)
