    My name on Connery used to be GeorgeWBushTRON, it's been that way since the beginning, but apparently, this name is "political" and has caused some players to apparently get offended and force to change my name. The forced name change isn't what irks me, it's the fact that people actually go out of their way to report a name like "GeorgeWBushTRON". I mean what the ****?

    For the love of God/Bhudda/Allah/Zeus/etc. stop this nonsense at once! I would love my old name back, and I would especially love if SOE would stop trying to decide if I'm political or not.

    Thoughts forumside? Has this absurdity happened to you.

    say hello to the new corporate pc culture. Where corporations avoid everything that might offend a potential customer.

    I'm surprised I haven't met or killed someone named JesusHChrist yet.

    Maybe it's just you they don't like, and they're using your name as an excuse to complain about you.

    You probably would if you changed your name to PontiusPilate.

    I'm pretty sure there was something in the EULA or ToS stating you cannot use celebrity names even with trying to cheat it. Your complaint is invalid.

    Please quote exactly in the ToS where it states this.

    Except making a game in which you literally do nothing else but shoot other people. Because, y'know, it's offensive if someone names themselves after a famous politician in our murder simulator. :p

    Hey, I think I've seen you before. I'm not certain whether it was my killreel or the killscreen but I'm certain I saw both of your names on the server at one point.

    If you DO get forced into a name change, I reckon you should change it to "DickCheneyFacial" and then use nothing but shotguns.

    What do they think about all the players who's name starts with "AdolfHitler"? :eek:

    I reckon they should be forced to change their names unless they can pull a 5.2 million to 1 KDR.

    There are people on Briggs running around with names like

    KevinxRudd
    TonyAbbott
    KevinBloodyRudd

    No one cares about them except when they find it amusing when they die or are killed by them.

    Maybe OP spends a lot of time around really sensitive special snowflakes.

    He's dead so it doesn't count :p

    They're just trying to help you from doing something stupid like tattooing a Romney sign on your face.
