stop going after names that barely reference anything/are basically the same as real names/nicknames and instead just keep going after gamer nametags and the Darth Vaders and John Spartans of the world
this sudden domineering crackdown on what was generally harmless or amusing is stupid. and as i said before, it is WAY too late to try and pretend you give a shit about this being a super serious roleplay server. and honestly if it was, it wouldnt even be enjoyable to play on anymore. (not that it is LMAO)
We do care, actually, and always have, we just never got around to it because we've always had so many other things to do and if you want to properly enforce it you need to do it consistently until it stops happening. If we did it earlier we'd have gotten the same response. The Saronsens and Greylocks would've posted "but what about Doc Holliday? Is he exempt from this rule because he's a moderator?" (a question that had already been asked by some people after Dylan Hunt's warning, by the way) and we would've been in the same place. The staff team should be held to higher standards than the community. In this case, it was a one-second decision that made perfect sense at the time, almost entirely because Doc is staff. That's all there is to it. There is no Staff Bias Shadow Cabal or Staff Anti-Bias Shadow Cabal or Staff Anti-Doc-Holliday Shadow Cabal. The majority of people have been pleasantly calm about it and simply posted their disagreements, which we all ended up agreeing with. This is just about the most minor thing someone could rupture their synapses over. It's not that deep.
