Description of the incident: While I was waiting for the Alamo to land so that I could put a medibot onto it, the marine players nearby started trading jokes in LOOC. 'Jack Goff' points out the pun that is his name, I point out mine and another marine chimes in with his and then Slc97 comes out and threatens with a ban if the names are not changed for next round.

Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): http://imgur.com/a/1THZw - no longer relevant, but unfortunately I did not save a screenshot at the time as I did not think it would be needed.

How you would punish the accused: I would ask that they be told to stop being such a misery. Clearly they intend to enforce marine rule 2, but harmless fun names should not be banned. Calling yourself 'Jack Goff' or Richard Longborn is not on the same level as Adolf Hitler'. No one complained when they thought that my name was Malligen 'Italy'-in-Japanese and that is just as silly.

Your name is literally male genitalia. Also, I never threatened you with a ban like you're saying I did. I simply informed you that a name that's a dick joke is equally as against the rules as other meme names since you were telling Jay Burns it wasn't.

For anyone wondering the context of the ahelp: the player had PMed me earlier asking about becoming a moderator.

So yeah, I'm not even 100 percent sure what you're alleging I did wrong, but thank you for the new Reddit flair.

Hey, no problem. I had just assumed that 'Jay Burns' was your marine name. Can you change the title in that case? I don't think that I can.

E: Nevermind, I got it.

What the hell are you reporting either Jay/SLC for here?

Believing that harmless puns fall under marine rule 2.

Are you serious?

This is a medium RP server; 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

The fact that you and others acknowledged your names are being spin-offs or puns in itself is an issue.

Resolved.

This was a stupid report.
