Name appeal

Post by Kel-the-Oblivious » 01 Apr 2017, 23:54

Your Byond Key: KeltheOblivious

Your Character Name: Immo Late

Their Byond key: SLC97

Approximate time and date of the incident (Central Us Time for best results): 5PM, Friday, March 31st, 2017

Which Staff Protocols (viewtopic.php?f=57&t=5647) were broken: Preserve the RP and enjoyment of the server

Description of the incident: I was flagged by Snypehunter007 for breaking Marine rule 2 due to my character name of Immo Late. After the round, I asked where I would go to appeal the flags against my name. SLC97 informed me that there was no such thing, and I had to change my name. After examining the rules for marine names, I found that I had not violated any of the rules. I said as such, and was told it didn't matter, I had to change my name and if I argued with him any more over this matter I would be given a 24 hour ban.

Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):

2. Use a reasonable, lore-friendly character name - Your character must have a unique first and last name. One-word nicknames are allowed inside the name (e.g. Derek 'Double-D' Donahue, Jane 'Crusher' Sanchez) . Ranks, titles, honorifics, offensive, famous and/or pop-culture names are not allowed (e.g. Dr John Smith, Barack Obama, Lt John Doe, Adolf Hitler). Also, avoid lore-based names like Weyland, Yutani, Bishop, Ripley, etc.

https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Immo The use of Immo as a first name

http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Late The use of Late as a last name.

How you would punish the accused: I simply wish to be allowed to play using the name I have been using for years without being told my name is in violation of the server rules, when as far as I can tell, with the rules provided, it is not. I am well aware I am making a mountain out of a molehill and could simply avoid this issue by changing my name, but I *LIKE* this name. I have used it for years, and I am very fond of it.

Move to ban appeals.. because a staff report didn't really make sense.

Also, I don't have a issue with the name.

You're free to use Immo Late

I don't think it's a proper marine name.

I'll discuss it with feweh, but for now, change it.
