Denied [Network Wide Suggestion] Force /nick on players with inappropiate

I agree, this is an appropriate way to handle this problem. We don't want to ban the few members we have left / joining.

 

This rule would be a good way to help stop enragement among the population about bans for slightly inappropriate usernames. As well as give the user potentially in question the time they have until they can change their name again.

The situation was handled a bit harshly, but it does say in the rules that names need to be appropriate. This name was on the line, for people who can’t change their names tho, they would be told to wait cause they can’t play on an alt until their main is unbanned. So sadly he’d have to wait. I feel forced nicknames in this situation would help out a lot and if they don’t change their names within 7 days of being able to, then they can take the ban.

 

In many cases this isn't feasible as too many plugins broadcast usernames as opposed to nicknames (skyblock challenges, lottery, etc)

That being said I've seen ridiculous username bans recently... They really should only be banned if they contain like actual harsh swears or slurs. Banning names like "ballsack" because they could mean something inappropriate is a joke

 

Unfortunately this isn't feasible due to the forum integrations we have. They require the forum usernames to be the same as the in game ones. This means someone could have an extremely inappropriate username, that we cannot mask on the forums.

Aem did not have the level of integrations we do, and unfortunately we cannot match the same protocols.

That said, I'm not against changing the inappropriate name protocol.

I'd like the inappropriate name protocol to be changed.

Honestly, flat out harsh AF swear words should be banned, but things you find touchy or offensive, just leave it alone and message me if needed. The full blown out right banning because a name is bad in your opinion needs to stop. @STAFF-03 Game Admin 's please discuss this with the team.

We cannot force /nick due to basically what @JamieSinn mentioned, thus I'm marking this denied since that was the suggestion, however I do want staff to discuss what I mentioned above.
