This is my point. What is "obscene", "vulgar", "hurtful"? CCP cannot define it explicitly but I have the feeling they "know it when they see it." 
Unfortunately the definition of obscene and vulgar varies drastically from person to person. (My filter is obviously set very, very high.)

If a name is deemed inappropriate, GMGÇÖs may be able to change the characterGÇÖs name in some circumstances. This is solely at the discretion of CCP and/or its representatives based on, but not limited to, account and player history and the severity of the violation. There is no guarantee that the name will be changed. Only character names that are deemed as inappropriate are eligible for a possible name change.
Blatantly offensive names created in direct violation of the EVE Online Terms Of Service and the User and Character Name Policy will not be eligible for name change approval under any circumstances. These characters and their assets will be immediately deleted upon discovery and disciplinary action may be taken against the playerGÇÖs account.
Again, what would be "blatantly offensive"?
Seems there is no real answer. It would all come done to the decision and opinion of a MOD at CCP. |
