beattlebilly Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) No one is wrong for reporting something, that is within a rule set we all agree to. Nor am I belittling the action of the report in itself per se. What I am questioning more so is the logic behind it. As you saw before, all it does is create an chain of hate. I fail to see how a rational person would allow words to have such an impact. So the rightness or wrongness of the action is somewhat moot at this point. The point in question is why would a rational person allow words to have such an impact, or as the poster on top of this page or the previous version has shown is it simply just an act to troll the troll so to speak? I am sure we can come to the consensus that such names are juvenile, and namely are created to net a certain reaction, either be it a hateful or humorous, yet why are we leaving out indifferent. Simply who gives a flying fluff. Are you a B? Do you view yourself as such? If not why would someone calling you have any effect on you what so ever? Question, should it? Sure this differs from person to person, but once again I do not see the logic in it. So once again, I am not commenting on the rightness or wrongness of reporting calling foul whatever you would like to call, more so the lack of rational thought behind allowing certain sequences of letters have such a negative effect. Simply put people think these rules will stop people from being offensive? No, so wouldn't it be easier to change their outlook to it, become indifferent towards some petty forms of humor. I sure words can hurt, but in truth their ability to hurt mostly comes from the receivers inability to handle them. If you can tell me how it is rational to allow letters in a certain form to have any negative effect on someone, while playing a game I would love that. Since I do not see it. I have seen silly names get reported for dumb reasons. I have had a friend from Brit who had a toon with the name fäg because we made him do all boring tasks in war fronts like guarding nodes, be our pass / leap beacon The simple logic behind it is this: people want to have a pleasant game play experience. If they see unquestionably offensive names and actions disrupting their pleasant game play experience, they are well with in their rights to report it and move on. Now, if we were talking about people that were trying to "fight fire with fire" and throwing hissy fits and equally offensive words back at the first offenders, I'd see the point in questioning their logic and belittling them for it. But we are just talking about using a tool that is provided by the game company to keep it as civil and pleasant a game as possible. No one is wrong for doing it. No one should be belittled for it, or have their actions questioned for it. If you don't report things you see that are offensive, fine, but do you really need to question and belittle those that do, and do so because they wish to have the positive game experience they are paying for? And the argument of "well, there's always going to be people doing it, so why try to stop it" is just a bit That's like saying "People are going to break the law anyway, so why should we have laws?" And sigh, again I am not saying you are questioning the rightness or wrongness of reporting, I am saying you are belittling the people that do it.

Siorac Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 There's a guild called "Buff Smash" on the Red Eclipse. Now that made me chuckle a little, I admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sigh, again I am not saying you are questioning the rightness or wrongness of reporting, I am saying you are belittling the people that do it. More like saying why have silly laws, like not leaving your car running. I know people that do this in the morning to warm up their car. Sure a few people can abuse it and blast their music late at night. Truth be told does that law protect you from the action in the moment, maybe one out of five times if you are lucky. When it happens most people are forced to ignore it. Yet I have seen people get tickets for leaving for their car running as they drop off something in the mailbox. Silly laws / rules are just that silly. While this name and even my old guild name hand proper grounds of being seen as offensive. I have seen others while some witty others not so much face the same treatment. While similar to the above poster I have seen a guild with the name <I swear she was 18> was reported and changed. Also <Pantyraiders> people found them offensive and reported these names. For what reason? Certain things should be up the the player to avoid. I mean if the ToS states online interactions are not rated, shouldn't the only police extremely over the time top names like maybe the OP's and mine in the past. I can view those as over the top, but silly names like above? Not so much. People need thinking skin. I am not intentionally belittling their mindset. I just find it strange that is all. I mean once again this may be just me, but I get called mean names in school, at first I use to tell a teacher, and my parents, but did not fix anything at times only made matters worse. Simply created a chain of endless hate and resentment. So I learned to go with the flow. I bet the OP is going to change his name to something even more offensive simply out of spite. Hey insanity at its finest. No point going on hehe, while it has been fun, we simply have different viewpoints that will never change. I do see where you are coming from though.
