Clave Dark 5 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Did one of the other servers, such as, say, the one associated with 4chan, shut down recently or something? I've been away a few days and when I was playing tonight over the course of about 3 I saw a handful of tasteless names that I'm not going to bother repeating (and no, I'm no prude). Seem to recall I've seen one or two recently in the last week or so as well, so this would also be a really good time to ask how do I drop a dime for the mods to take a look. 1 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Clave Dark 5 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 There's a reason I've never looked into the 4chan server: because I know the sort of chatter a 4chan server would have. We don't need that here.

In game, click on "Menu," go to "Support," and file a ticket - note the character's local name and global name in your report. You can get the global name by typing "/getglobalname LocalName" (insert the local name in place of "LocalName"). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You prefer wiped bums? seriously though i also prefer gamers who are not trying to rankle my tender sensibilities (pro tip: there is a 99.99% chance you cannot do it. If you can seek help immediately) i also prefer gamers who do not run Posi and Synapse at +anything. I do not like gamers who run Khans at +4 without stating so in the LFG ad. There are many ways for a gamer to earn my derision. But yes, i have seen a *slight up tick in character names in poor taste recently. I played on Freedom and I have played WoW. Some in my own SG dance with innuendo in their naming conventions. It is usually artistic rather than bawdy but some efforts are doomed to failure from the start keep in mind most of the cut scenes from the incarnate trials are endless T&A. This is not exactly a completely innocent platform 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neiska Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 To play armchair philosopher a moment, posts like these always wonder how much of it is perusing the "spirit" of a healthy game environment, and how much of it is simply trying to eradicate or remove that which you don't personally support or agree with in an attempt to control it. There is a line in there somewhere to be certain, and I feel not I nor others not on HC staff can make that distinction. I would urge the OP to use the tools that already exist and are provided to everyone. If you see a name you find questionable, submit a ticket, and those in such positions will look into it. However, you may not always agree with their decision. One name you feel slighted by, another might see harmless. And that "another" just might be a staff member. Personally, I go by live and let live. I do my own thing, and allow people to do theirs. Even if its something I find distasteful or unenjoyable. I don't have to take part, or even support it. No one is "forcing" anyone to play with anyone else. But I don't particularly support policing other people's own personal enjoyment either. Just my thoughts about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
