Perhaps that person had a family member that died on 9-11, or a husband or father that was killed in Afghanistan.
That name could be very offensive to them; I believe that your alts name should be changed

I dont understand.. Are you trying to say that all the people living in taliban are terrorists..?

**razerfingers** · 03-02-2012, 04:53 PM

i am no longer replying to this thread so bye

That's like reporting someone with the name "USarmy"... He's being racist and i think that's against the TOS.

**Elyseon** · 03-02-2012, 04:57 PM

I dont see anything wrong with taliban...

**Walkhardd** · 03-02-2012, 05:28 PM

I hate that in this day and age you have to be so politically correct. No matter what you do/say, somebody gets offended. I would like to meet "gets offended" guy, to pick his brain. I personally have way too many responsibilities/stresses to worry about small dumb things like somebody named taliban in a game. Keep your eyes on your own paper peeps!

I said it once sometime before on the forums, I'll say it again, no problem.

What you think is "humorous" could be found offensive by another person. Playing in a game with a large community, you MUST take into account that other people can be viewing your actions (to some extent). Personally, I find the name not offensive, but unacceptable. Other people may find it offensive. People should think a little more when dealing with "humor". Its the same with sarcasm on the forums.

Razer I know at the time it prolly didn't cross your mind as offensive. I appreciate you apologizing and trying to make it better. I do think it is just a touchy subject given all the U.S. has been through since that horrible day. My advice is to just change it and let it go. I know you didn't mean to be offensive. Just get in touch with support and hopefully they will help you fix this.

Guys... This is there own rights it's like naming my character sryyoulose... Omg we lost the war reported! You remind of bad times or like: Muslim omg he's not actually Muslim reported! I mean sheesh guys if he reported just out of anger... So don't worry if the devs find it inappropriate they will change it if not they won't just whatever

**razerfingers** · 03-03-2012, 01:33 AM

Yeah but i asked for them to see if they can rename because while in sl a little bit ago id say it was trolling but some people kinda trolled me about it and so i was like -_- wow..
