Sly Marbo is an obscure name that's not based off of any book or movie and I've been using this name for over a year now with no issues until this recent month.

Yeah I don't even know any more.

to be fair that is pretty obscure, i mean sure all the 40k fans amongst us have probably perused those boards at least once but even THAT is like, a tiny portion of the 40k fandom, which is itself a small portion of sci fi fandom as a whole.

im not sure coroneljones even knew ABOUT the 4chan wiki until i posted him a direct link to the hormissar gaunt page, and even then the character is basically a fanfic, not from the official lore save for a mention in one book that i'd never even heard of till reading that page a second time, how many people actually even read 40k books? do all of CM even know what 40k IS?

we may be taking it abit too far at this point, i know we dont want to see any famous characters from fiction or real life showing up but im not sure sly marbo even counts as famous, i did a direct google image search for him and it didn't even take an entire row of pictures to start seeing stuff that wasn't him (duke nukem is right there in the second row), sure itd be one thing if he was using obviously famous ass characters like Gabriel Angelos (Dawn of War Series), Horus (The Horus Heresy, one of the original Primarchs), Kaldor Draigo (even more famous thanks to his appearance in flashgitz) or other well known Canon 40k characters, but i doubt that we can really count the 4chan boards as Games Workshop Canon (otherwise the angry marines codex would totes have been an official release)

While obscure it seems that enough of the community recognized the reference to the point it was an immersion breaker. If what Coronel says is accurate, and I've never really known him to lie, than it sounds like he gave you every single opportunity and more to change your name before finally deciding to take action. Serve your time like the rest of us have to when we make mistakes.

-1 to the appeal. While an obscure reference it is recognizable to this particular niche.

Additionally, according to Coronel, he had been dealing with this person for at least a month regarding the same name.

Denied. I asked you to change your name and it says quiet clearly in the rules failure to change it will result in a ban

CJ is pretty much, the fairest admin of them all, if you got him to give you a ban, it was most likely deserved.
