Ban Definitions

[Nion]

I made my battle mage's name vvvvvvvvv or something similar to that. That sucks to hear.

[Polantaris]

Players posting their first names or the names of others will be warned and educated.

They will be "educated"? What does that even mean?

[Jigsaw]

Verbal warnings? There's no way a GM is going to just come out of hide and say "Please stop these racist comments." I'm pretty sure they don't have to the time to appear in front of a mass amount of players when they do that as a first offence.

just what a friend needs, @ultimax21; you're gonna get an earful if it happens!

I do not find this happening unless as someone already mentioned, is an offensive IGN. It's not like I seen adolfhilter, Obama, or binladen igns banned or nothing.

We both know people with those type of igns targeted though, but I've never heard of banning just for King, Queen, and Majors.

They will tell you what a horrible personal security risk it is to let people on the internetz know your first name. Especially if it's a common one.

Are they going to sit me in a classroom with other people who gave away their first name and give me a 400 page book on how I'm a stupid person for doing that?
Then quiz me on it?
With a final exam at the end of the week?

I'm not good at tests! I'm scared!

"includes any rank and/or fantasy titles (e.g., "MajorMark" or "QueenQiana"), "
My Cannoneer Mule is called GangaruQueen
Well shet.
Also, that means I couldn't have called my Xenon 131293U, which is the atomic weigh of a Xenon-Atom, including three digits after the Comma.

Also... "Hey, I'm a NPC, trade me! I give special lessons to you!"

Besides...
"Hey, Derek. What pq u wanna do?"
"Dunno, Alex. How about we..."
"HEY, YOU TWO. NO NAME-TELLING ON MY WATCH. NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY YOU TWO SHOULD BE MORE SEC-"
"Uhm, GM. We're 25."
"And best friends."
"NO OBJECTIONS. I SHALL EDUCATE YOU."

[Eos]

I really had no idea every time I said my name to a new buddy or in a new guild I was at risk of being banned. Some of these are kind of silly. "Warned and educated," I can see meaning private information but a first name, which might even just be an online alias? Come on.

The severe side of that's really more for people who go around "outing" other people's private info.

[moore4me]

LOL my Lumi's ign is Jibberish111. I should log a ticket for a free ign change.

[Metric]

People actually do these so called reports? That's surprising in itself.

[Marksman Bryan]

Just to make sure, you guys know that listing has been on the main website since like 2007 right

Definitely feels like they added/changed some things about it though. I know the stupid IGN thing has been around since forever but I don't recall the "content blocking" part before, just to name some

Hoo boy, there go half of my characters with Mario-related usernames.

[Soulenite]

And apparently HELPING people with their events (this was in Kerning Square) is ban-able too. I asked a GM in the GM event if helping people with events was against the ToS and they said nothing. >:I

That doesn't exactly confirm anything.

Well apparently they thought we were botting or something when we were all CLEARLY there talking. The two talkers got a 30 day ban while I go on my main, attack ONE mob, made an F6 (may I add for once I wasn't IN their party) and still got banned. Since when was there a hacker/botter in Kerning Square anyway?
