Good Evening,

I just want to come back to this post from August 2022.

We had an instance today where a player's name was "jesus christ from ebay". I find this name heavily blasphemous and I reported this player as suggested by Wachund. Unfortunately, the Admin said that the name is not offensive and told me off in the end. I asked the Admin a simple question - If I change my name to Adolf Hitler for instance, would that also be okay? And he replied by saying "No you cannot, that is different."

Surely this cannot be right? @Wachund - per your response on August 6th in this thread, you said you can report the player and players will be advised to change their names if necessary. I guess admin today thought that this player's name was not offensive and no name change was necessary, but when would it be??

Please can you advise on this? Surely blasphemous names cannot be allowed??

Such things are always a bit subjective, so it is not unexpected that an admin in this case decided different. However, from my understanding, it is blasphemic because it is obvious that a religious person could be offended by that. In order to prevent people being offended by such content any religious or political symbols and expressions are forbidden according to Article 4 TOS.

I will therefore give a hint to the admins that this name is forbidden so the player can be warned next time

Hi Wachund,

Thank you for understanding and looking into this matter. I appreciate it.
