If you're going to wait for an admin to actually do something about this, you're probably going to have to wait a while.

[quote name="Charaquan" date="2014-09-29 15:47:56"] 4)They're not in the rules 5)Mods/admins refuse to give clear rules on naming policy. X and U flatl out contradicted each other. [/quote] Sounds like real life is invading our game. At least it's 2 different people contradicting each other, not the same person contradicting his/herself.

[quote name="Lightscales" date="2014-09-29 22:46:00"]Certain names should be banned. It's very obvious what should be banned. Things that are kind of on the edge, it's safer to just ban them than fight about it. Offensive thing, things implying death, those kind of things are okay to be banned. Mulch being banned is just about the stupidest thing. Mulch is not something that should be banned. Intern isn't something that should be banned. Things like "Hitler" and "f**" and other slurs or generally bullcrap things like that should be banned. I really don't get the whole fiasco about it. Be a decent person, don't intentionally offend someone, and don't be a ass about it. The rest should be self explanatory. Unless it's actually a slur or something offensive, and someone names the dragon you SOLD to them something that you don't like, suck it up and start naming your hatchlings and get over it.[/quote] @Lightscales: It's kinda not obvious though? See all the comments about American English/Reigonal American English/Generational Reigonal American English confusing the hell out of everyone.

I want them to just take away the naming option upon exalt so people will shut up tbh.

[quote name="rainexsage" date="2014-09-29 21:07:33"]I mean there was a guy flipping his shit in another thread not long ago about how a whole nest of his dragons got exalted as Intern(insert name here) and how could someone do this to them, it ruined their dragon's offspring list etc. I'm pretty sure lightning would collectively quit if Intern got banned, but that's literally how Mulch got banned. One user mass exalting with a themed name and someone decided it hurt their feelings. So I can understand people being testy on both ends.[/quote] I know a lot of people use specific exalt names for all of their exalt dragons to keep track of how many they are exalting so they can record them later for raffles or for personal reference, since we lack a function that tells us how many dragons we exalt.

@rainexsage

As a lightning member I can say I wouldn't quit if Intern or Internxname were banned.

Also Mulch was banned not because it was a theme name but because it was used to circumvent the naming filter because Fertilizer was banned which upset people because it implied their dragons were either dead (rotting flesh = fertilizer) or literal poop. And afaik Fertilizer was used because the user in question was angry about Unloved being banned etc.

That said I'm not going to return to this thread because it's causing more harm than helping.

Edit: Spelling

What gets me is that death related names are banned, but we have death related skin submissions in the riot of rot. The admins really need to be consistent.
