Is there anything that can be done about individuals who choose inappropriate character names and then choose to flaunt the personality of that character in socially inappropriate and insensitive ways?
Specifically- there is a character called "Ahitler"... obviously a moniker for "Adolf Hitler". In these and any other times, this is an inappropriate name especially given that this individual has entered the tavern on occasion beginning conversations with "White Power...". I find this behavior completely and entirely offensive especially given the world-wide appeal of this wonderful gaming platform... this behavior is culturally and ethnically insensitive given the mass genocide that occurred and continues to occur to this day. When I cited my disgust in the tavern to this individual... all he could say was "Sh** happens". Yeah, I'm sensitive especially as I have lost family members in Buchenwald- a Nazi death camp in World War II... but let us not overlook the genocide that is currently happening in Darfur and other places in the world today based purely on the idea of ethnic cleansing.
I plead with the administrators of Aurora Feint that we cannot tolerate this type of behavior at any juncture... and at no point can this be taken purely as a "joke" which "Ahitler" believes it to be in the tavern. Please put a stop to this behavior... or at least prompt this individual to change the name of his character...
Thank You for your consideration REMstar

The same can be said for the character named "black person".
Unfortunately this character's MO is sexual innuendo...
Thanks,

We have added a lot to the profanity filter and this problem should go away. Thanks for pointing out that character name. I will make sure that he has to change his name.

well character names can be changed at a whim so someone with a decent name can change it to 'fucksex', make a few comments then change it back. if devs really want to curve the number of vulgar character names they should put in place some sort of restriction. for instance you could make players pay 500-1000 crystals each time you wanna change your name.

We don't allow names like that. If they are getting through that is a problem. There is a filter that kicks names back and doesn't let users set them if they contain vulgar content.
