Q u o t e:


Yes. :)


As the others have said, and I'm sure you know, a name found in violation of our policies will usually be flagged for a name change for when the character is logged in next. In some circumstances we may select a random name ourselves, though we usually don't like to do that unless there has been repeated chances given.

There have been times when a name is found in violation but the appropriate flagging didn't "stick" when the actions were applied. It is usually caught if reported again. Everything should be in order now, Bubbles. :)

Well, from what I can see, Kiell, you have reported several names that are very similar, though it should be noted that they are not necessarily the same person or account. This likely added to some confusion as you reported a name ending with a k and a c and then you focused on just the first three letters, which seemed to indicate that just those three letters was a name as well. Which it was, but the matter had already been taken care of.

It isn't that either name or any of those names were appropriate it is just that so many names started flying around, you of course quizzing us in a petition as to the pronunciation of part of a name, that things got rather discombobulated as it continued.

My recommendation at this point, Kiell, is just report the name. Something like: Reporting name: ...... pronounced .......

Thank you.

That should get the proper attention on it. If you do that, I will check on it within the next day or so to make sure there was no further confusion.
