Yesterday, My Corp mate had his name of six months taken away from him as it was deemed offensive. his name was "September11 2000 fun" a name he took from the American prime time TV series Family Guy. If this name was SO offensive to people, then why has the American FCC allowing it to be continually aired on prime time television?. This came as a shock, but we know of the culprit who submitted the report on him. The culprit was a self described vehicle veteran and while the man did have some mad skills he was a bit of an ******* to the squad barking out orders and such and taking all the fun out of the match. Subsequently he was kicked from the squad. I might add that he found our squad through the squad finder and "September11 2000 fun" was the squad leader. He even stated that he joined our squad because he liked his name. After having his inflated ego bruised, he then submitted a request to have his name removed deeming it offensive, and CCP complied. This power of censorship was given to this whiny player by CCP. It could be you that is next. Like this post if you agree this player went too far. and was given too much power. when all he had to do is block my friend.

Although I do find the name funny, it's only funny to those who saw the episode of Family Guy. I can imagine that even if that player you mentioned never saw the name, eventually someone else would complain about it. I'm just surprised that it took six months for someone to notice at all. |

"If you don't like it, don't read it" - Larry Flint. Comedy Central allows cussing and has shown nudity - does that mean it's okay for everyone to allow those things?
Personally idc - but your logic is skewed in favor of your friend. What's allowed on cable TV has nothing to do with what's allowed on a player to player interactive environment. Your friend had a bad name - someone used it against him to accomplish his own vendetta. That's life. Accept it and move on instead of crying that it's unfair when it's your friends fault for having bad taste. |

I see foul names all the time, I am surprised did anything. I think I saw a guy by the name of "Anus Destroyer" in a pub match last week but I guess that's cool
Also -- why not just rename the toon rather than delete it, that seems overly harsh. |

Agreed, but that's all he is guilty of is bad taste. The point I'm making is the power given to said vindictive player. If it were multiple players complaining then sure my friend would have just taken a new name. And I'm not taking about Comedy central, I'm talking FOX prime time. |

I have no problems with names like these.
They're made as jokes, and that is how they should be seen.
Anyone who takes offense needs to harden up, unless its something completely unreasonable, I dont see a problem with it. |

You're not deleted when you get reported.
Your name is just changed to something like "Minmatar Mercenary 'Insert Number here'" or something similar.
At least, thats how I think it works. |

It's a name in bad taste. You get what you deserve making a name like that. |

Blame your own military industrial complex for that one. The tragedy isn't the issue here. censorship is. I'm not starting a debate over 9/11. |

You and your friend accepting bad taste is. If any one person reported that offensive name it would of been removed - period. QQing because it was done by someone you don't like isn't justification for anything. |

9/11 did not cause a war in the middle east. It was used as an excuse for two of them, but that is all.
I had seen the guy around, thought the name was a great one.
I agree that using a name like that is asking for someone to report it, and CCP did exactly what they should have done.
But the name is funny.
Since we are all here though, lets take a moment and remember:

I'm more suprised that you didn't see this coming with a name like that.
Also, The creators of Family Guy have enough money to get away with this stuff. You, on the other hand, don't. Welcome to real life.

Overblown, reactionary drivel.
You are not being silenced, or deprived your rights of speech by having your character names limited in a video game. |

What an arrogant statement. Freedom of speech doesn't allow you to scream fire in a theater. Go home kid. Your weak statement have no place here. |

Meh. Way i look at it you pick a name like that you're asking for it. Now your buddy gets called on it and you're here crying on the forums.
Thanks for that. It gives me a little giggle. |

Oh don't get me wrong, I saw it coming and so did he. Who wouldn't? you'd have to be blind not to see that coming. The only thing that is bothersome is the power that player had been given. Like I stated before he even liked the name and though it awesome before he was kicked. |

Not everyone sees it as joke, thats a personal opinion.
I would like you to tell those who lost someone during that day to "HTFU". Seriously I do. I wouldnt make a lighthearted joke if someone you cared about died in that manner, so I see no reason why you would do the same, then again, I guess you're different.
Regarding OP and his "friend", he took the risks, broke the EULA, and payed the price. He saw it coming, if not, feigned ignorance. Nothing else to be said here. |

While All of you have very valid points, and opinions. and I do respect them all. I was just looking for feedback. My friend said he will wear his new prison # with pride. And Sota I'm no kid, and there's even a slim chance I banged you mom while you sat watching cartoons and eating crunch berries. |
