Goa In Violation Of Their Own Rules

[trigali]

Your only right is to go on or to quit playing.

Except for that, they make and change the rules as they see fit.

Ppl do pay a lot of money for the game. And 10 euros every month.
So we do have some rights.

If you think that think again. You know what you get, the rules are clear, if you do not like it, noone is forcing your money on them. You have a choise.

I'm just glad GOA can't change my nickname "Urme" ... because no political person or anything else can be connected to that... I hope


And I think it was wrong of GOA to change the name Slobodan since he didn't have anything with Milosevic in his lastname.

 

[sorusi]

hm this post dinged 300 a while ago see if it can hit 400

think that would be bigger than karams greatests etc..

You are very wrong.
By changing Slobodans name Zargar showed that the rules are not clear at all.

It will be interesting to see what he does now.
If he does not change his name and many names from that list he proved that the only rule is that hes always right and all other rules are just there to fool ppl.

Will be interesting.

The rules are perfectly clear to me - read the EULA.

If you pick a name that is offensive to someone and they ask for it to be changed, then it will be followed up.

If you believe one of the GM's to be using a name thats abusive to you - then report it on right now.


/yawn at pointless thread.

Yes, they follow it up.
Thats why it will be interesting to see if the rules stand a test or if its just Zargars views that are important and not the rules.

And, this thread is not pointless.

Commie, you have no case, give it a rest, nobody cares, truth be told.

CoC:

GOA reserves the right to implement penalties imposed on players whose character names impair the community spirit of the game.
Penalties
GOA reserves the right (at any time and without prior notice) to reduce access to or block an account temporarily or definitively if the user has not respected this Charter, has encouraged another user not to respect the Charter or has caused harm to the user community.
Characters whose names do not respect this Charter may be renamed by GOA. This does not exclude the imposition of other sanctions concerning this particular violation of the Charter.

Notice the 'reserves the right' and 'may be renamed'. They can do whatever the hell they want -- act on it, as they did in this case, or ignore it, as they will do with all your 'examples' in previous messages.

The CoC and EULA are clear.

Thanks Tesla ... in other words Commie can stamp his feet but the people who decide whose name gets changed or not are GOA, and they will do it as they see fit to.

Commie, you may have highlighted some inappropriate names in your list, but the way you have approached this whole matter is one which would make most mature audiences just /ignore Commie, so don't expect to see even the worst of those changed, at least not based on your report.

GOA have been consistent, in general, until now in their implementation of naming policy, which has been on a reactive basis to change those names people report to them as offensive. They were continuing to be consistent in this when they changed Slob's name. They will not be consistent in this with regard your list because it would be downright anal to do so.

Go and grow up Commie, you're boring most of us now (and in fact have been for several pages). Oh... and I hope your post count rocketed when you spammed this over onto the Excal boards too, you child.

As I said before... you are in a guild with a questionable reputation in the first place. Sure - having a nice giuld that stick together is one thing. Having a guild that stick together to all act like spoilt brats just reenforces the opinions that have been spread on these boards about your guild in general.

In short, STFU.

<wonders if Commie has run off to duskwave to find Jupitus and do a 'you only have 170k RPs so what do you know noob?' reply>

I repeat, he was _NOT_ named Slobodan Milosevic.

I was seeking to point out that RL is out there, things happen, and people can be upset by them ... DAoC however, is a game where all should be having fun.

As for his second name ... also not relevant, as only players from his realm will even see the second name.

I am sorry if the game for you takes focus away from the world around us.

 

[Zerg-Proof]

What I don't understand is all the replies from people saying this thread is so useless and bores them etc, but yet every single one of them bothers to reply... if a thread is useless, childish or whatever to you, then don't read it or reply ffsuke:

 

[Jupitus]

Shite - I'd better take cover - it's 3:50 pm and they'll all be getting home from school around now - don't strike me as the kind who would sit down and do their homework first either

<Dons flame retardent gear>

LOL

 

[Jupitus]

Hmmm... Commie's taking alot longer than normal to reply.....

Ahaaa! I see... I wrote 'noob' and not 'n00b or 'n3wb' in my post - he is trying to find it in a dictionary....

Out of the 300 so called replies, most are trying to help retrieve the toys you have thrown out of your pram !!

GROW UP !!

 

[commie]

One thing thats very interesting in the replies here is when someone disagrees with my views.

Theres 2 kinds of answers from them.

1. The intelligent ones. They dont agree so they reply explaining their views and saying im wrong in an intelligent way.
Thats good, cant expect everyone to see things in the same way as i do, would be strange

2. The stupid ones. They dont agree so they reply with "STFU" "You are childish" "Noone cares" "Did you drop your toys" etc.
Those posts are really pointless since they do nothing.
They dont take the debate anywhere so why not just stop?

Tesla:

Yes, they can do whatever they please.
But still, the rules are not clear. The thing you really point out there is their backdoor. The thing to hide behind then ppl say they are wrong.
And yes, i know i have no chance to "beat" them.
If im to annoying they can ignore me, ban my account here or in the game. Thats up to them.
But i still state that they are wrong and the names on that list breaks the same rules that Slobodans name does.

Zargar and Kemor included.



Jupitus:

Ok, you call me imature, thats nice. But it does not affect anything does it?

They were continuing to be consistent in this when they changed Slob's name. They will not be consistent in this with regard your list because it would be downright anal to do so.

Ok?
Why is that?

Go and grow up Commie, you're boring most of us now (and in fact have been for several pages). Oh... and I hope your post count rocketed when you spammed this over onto the Excal boards too, you child.

For starters. Its not for you to talk about other ppl being bored or not. Second. I haventh spammed this post. I posted it twice in #daoc.prydwen and of course in the #nolby topic. I haventh spammed it anywhere else.
Please, cut the "child" crap. It just make you look stupid.

In short, STFU.

Wow, im impressed. You look like a regular Nobel Price winner with that nifty punchline.

And no, i dont care about your rp:s.

 

[trigali]

Yeah Jupitus,

You look like a Nolbie Pride whiner...

err...


I misread.

Love you lots jups

I did a search for belorfyn on google and found 8 pages referring to a DAoC player called Belorfyn!

Belorfyn is, therefore, a clear and blatant copy of the name belorfyn....

Erm, I think I just spotted a slight flaw in my argument

The rule generally about "offensive" names is a bit borked. Im not 100% sure but I really really hope concidering something offensive requires more than just 1-3 reports... There should (I think there is) some sort of limit especially for these "gray area" materials. Get my point?

I dont know how many reports it took for Slobodan for his namechange, but generally if enough people say something, it concidered as truth. Of course this isnt bulletproof either but it's alot better than just 1 report = out.

And Generic, I find Slobodan as a name funny. It sounds when you say it, it looks funny and lurks ARE funny. Especially bald ones

Yes the name Slobodan does suit Lurikeen, in a strange way. The first time I saw Slobodan the NS, I didn't think much of it... just another name.

Although reading his conversation with Zargar, shows Slobodan suggesting his Lurikeen was built to represent Slobodan M. (i.e. "Just look at him, he IS slobodan"). The only reference to a rl Slobodan is the war criminal, no where does he mention the character from the swedish movie (I looked around for pics of him and only found some chubby man with messed up blond hair, not a bald man <shrug>).


Anyway, going on what was said in the initial post, it does point to Slobodan's name coming for the Slobodan M. If it's any different or not, this will go on without coming any closer to the truth.

You are missing the point.
He IS Slobodan, but not Slobodan Milosevic.
Its impossible to expain without you knowing the whole story (and since you haventh rvr:ed with us you can not).
But i assure you, he didnt mean it like you are saying.

nearly fell out of my seat when reading that - thanks, cheared me up fitted in really well with the previous messages... nice one..

Yes, but as i previously stated.
Some ppl, like the one i quoted first in this post come with intelligent critisism.

Some ppl like you (-Nxs-) and Jupitar come with stupid comments..

 

[tildson]

Much bigger deal if he'd named Milosevic instead of Slobodan! This is just some anti-NP retard guy who gets owned IRL and wants revenge imo

 

[j000 d000d]

ahahhahahaha @ the "grow up" replies.

they probably have nothing better to say, the kids want to feel big.
