Yeah the name matters as it is part of the overall picture. It's not everything, but it's part of it.
I expect people to be reasonably mature and considerate towards others, with the name they choose. It's sometimes a tricky line, but that's why we set up our clan with several leaders, so we get a variety of opinions.

People know I don't like name changes at all, and so I did cop a bit of ribbing when giving someone a bond so he could change his inappropriate name asap.

My personal opinion (not my clan's opinion) is that allowing name changes is the worst update ever, and I've been playing over 15 years. The best update ever is the GE. :D (Again, personal opinion.)


Have no idea how much i hated name changes, total agreement

I suspect I would too. And so would 75-80% of my members. And that's why your members are in your CC and not mine, while my members are in my CC and not yours. :D


True.

I mean....I watch out for people again, who could be a threat. But I've encountered more crazy people with sound names then I have people with edgy ones.

Edgy names say a lot about someone, and many of them are negative. However, many are just creative or in jest. Thus I have learned to relax a bit.

I'd recommend the same thing for other people. So many clans have rules like....

No political speech, No religious talk, no language, no drug references/speech.

While keeping the peace is important, you just removed
A TON
of conversation topics, meaningful ones, because heaven forbid someone get hurt feelings.

Which sometimes happens when you do allow such things, and sometimes, someone leaves because they have no other way to resolve it. But this in a way is just as immature, as avoiding conflict gets you nowhere....Exposure to other peoples views takes you places though.

My clanmate's have made me cringe, and laugh. So long as that balance remains and it doesn't become directly toxic. I'm happy. :)

but for some, that's not enough...

Definitely doesn't matter to me. If a name is too offensive, jagex will handle it. Anything else goes imo.

The only times I get annoyed by names is when spam accounts are being created to impersonate existing clan or fc members. Usually to either come and flame people or attempt to scam and such.

But a funny name that's just meant to be a joke (even if the humor doesn't work for everyone)? Nah just let them be.

I use to be all up about peoples names, and then when I removed my rose colored glasses and spoke to people I found out they were quite good people, just didn't get all caught up over what a name meant.

A name is just a name and not always what a person might be like, you're making a judgment on them without knowing them.

I have seen some classics over the years, but will never let their name stop me from saying hi to them and talking or inviting them to the clan.

A tad? I'm picturesque of unhinged! I'm so Savage I scare myself when I look into a mirror.

I even force PvM'ers to Cap at the Citadel, thus should be incarcerated for crimes against humanity.

I've found that the person's username is not the determinant that I use to make my character judgment. While it can provide some potential information, it is the things that they say which tend to be the best indicator as to whether or not someone will be a good fit (which correlates with being a long term clan member, which is what I look for).

The names I find most offensive are the ones that impersonate others, for the obvious reasons.

But does anyones username bother me personally? I think very few ever have, though some names can just rub you the wrong way without being outright repulsive.

I have never, and will probably never, regulate the names of my clan members. Well.. unless someone changed their name to deliberately break game rules or be dishonest (impersonate someone else, we've all seen that scam/received those pm's).

Well yea except talk of drugs is within the games rules so you kinda gotta follow those ya know.

Also i dont really consider those topics to be that limiting, if a person finds them limiting then they should perhaps go look for new life experiences other than being on reddit all day.
