Finally you said something right, rabies is not a name.
Nevermind, I take back what I said.
Wouldnât it be great if people would actually follow set guidlines and rules instead of thinking they are special exceptions?
Because they are not. If a person willingly break one of those for no other reason than âcus I want toâ, the person is a 
, simple as that.

You mean itâs not okay to name my character after a lethal disease thatâs undoubtedly killed someoneâs loved ones? Damn, guess the Troll Warlord Eboâla will have to go.

Im fully expecting a âBut its not offensive, youâre just thin-skin w/eâ response to it.

In what way offensive? Would a character called âBubonicâ be offensive? I can find 105 characters of that name on the US armory. What about âShinglesâ? 52 characters. âMeaslesâ? 58 characters. Are you personally offended by these? How do you determine whatâs offensive? By what objective criteria?
I agree, more people should follow Rabiesâ example.
Never said it was! Said it was a nickname. Still waiting for the post that proves, categorically, that a) Rabies is non-fantasy or non-medieval, or b) you canât use nicknames as toon-names.
Youâve had loved ones die to both ebola and rabies? Iâm so, so sorry. I canât imagine how horrible that is.
Of course, by the same standard, references to knives, swords, guns, bombs, and all forms of weaponry will have to go, because of all the people who have lost loved ones to those.

Yes it would, and if you geniuenly donât think its a problem its very telling what type of person you are, and its not a good one.
Hot news, thatâs CS agents have said since the dawn of WoW, just because a name exists doesnt mean its okay. And they are reactive, so they wont ban the players/change the name unless reported.
I am yes.
Not so difficult honestly if you have any tiny amount of social skills or knowledge of how humans work, just donât name your character related to something that affect people IRL negativly, like diseases.
No, because he is wrong, as are you.

Iâd be happy to agree with you, if youâd only tell me why!
Does this include all forms of warfare, violence, and weaponry? Because if you find anything that affects people negatively offensive, I have to ask why youâre playing World of Warcraft. Do you think war is some kind of game? Does it amuse you?

You exist only upon the forums to act as a contrarian to the masses, Umay
Iâm pretty sure more than half of the times I ever see you post anything anywhere on the forums, youâre just trying to disagree with something else. Iâm starting to wonder whether itâs because you actually disagree or you simply have dark & eldritch motives

Again, how hard is it to understand this?
Blizzard is rated according to the ESRB.
WE PLAYERS are dictated soley by Blizzard, and are very limited to be as inoffensive as possible. Mainly because its easier to regulate that way than letting players slide on scales.

Aha, so, since Rabies is a disease in game, itâs therefore safe to consider it âinoffensiveâ by Blizzardâs standards? Much like the plague, etc.
i start to sweat in rp ic
No, and now I know you are geniuenly just trolling. We arent allowed to do/say/name the same things Blizzard are.
But you know youâre wrong already, so I wont waste my energy on it anymore. Stop being a 
on the forums.
Rabies is hardly breaking any guidelines. The word is used all over in the World of Warcraft lore and does not carry any offensive connotations (you saying a disease is an offense to the TOS is wrong, thatâs only the case if itâs used commonly as an offense.)
Rabies could certainly be a nickname for a Worgen, I donât see why not. But more important, WHY DO YOU CARE? What impact does this have on your RP or enjoyment of the game? Is the blue text above our characterâs head now considered canon?
Just let people enjoy themselves, surely you got something better to worry about. Itâs exactly as I said, people on AD would rather complain about otherâs RP than anything else.

Imagine reeing over a name and putting effort into that instead of things that matter

Just gonna comment on this before I go, because you are wrong about everything else.
Wouldnât it be great if people had fun/enjoyed themselves while following the rules everyone else does? Crazy I know.
Classic buzzword-posting to shut down discussion or any dissenting opinion
Almost like a forum is a place to have debates and discussions
Iâll put your mind at ease, Elyrius - itâs because I disagree. Donât worry, not everybody that disagrees with the PCU consensus is an OOC griefer.
But this is a fallacious argument, isnât it? Weâd literally be unable to RP if we werenât allowed to do or say the same things Blizzard are.
The argument actually is - Blizzard arenât beholden to their own ToU/ CoC. Service users/ players have to abide by those rules, but Blizzard donât.
It doesnât follow that everything Blizzard does is a breach of those rules. It doesnât follow that we arenât allowed to do the same things Blizzard does.
What does follow is that we arenât allowed to breach the ToU/ CoC.
Youâve failed to prove, in any way, shape or form, that Rabies is breaking any of Blizzardâs own codes or regulations.
Itâs ok to be wrong, Vixi. Itâs ok.

It remains yet to be proven that he has broken any rules. Report it and see if Blizzard changes it, itâs their call and their judgement alone. Stop crucifying this guy like you are the arbiter of the rules.
If you think its offensive to the TOS, report it and move on.
I didnt, you simply just donât agree with it because you like to be contrarian. Which is where this discussion will end on my part.
Iâve shown and told you whatâs wrong, I canât do more than that.
Yes, as opposed to disagreeing with everything in sight as if you were playing whack-a-mole, but the moles are topics and opinions on the forums and you are the mallet
The PCU consensus is the only consensus⌠[begins making bug noises loudly as I act upon the hivemindâs will]

Find ten threads Iâve replied to this month - Iâll wait :))))
I can only apologise that you find the concept of disagreement so offensive to your sensibilities! Perhaps the forums arenât the best place for you?
