okay sure but we all know what it’s referring too, don’t be dense
“We all know it” is a dumb reasoning. And a great way to open door to abuse of power.
The rule must be clear. While your assumption may be right, even likely to be, the name Adolf is indeed an actual name that many people carry.
So unless it gets explicitly banned or there is an additional reason to see it as rule breaking, like surname Hatler or something along those lines, the name cannot be rule breaking by itself.

Agreed, I think any reasonable person would come to that conclusion.
I’d disagree on that one.
More to the point. “Hitler” is indeed an actual name that many people carry" (although I would assume its a few fewer than Adolf). But everyone knows what you’re trying to say when you go with “Adolf, last name rhymes with extremely offensive term”
For reference:
http://lyonairmuseum.org/blog/corpsman-hitler-us-navy
- Won a Purple Heart.
- Also related to the “Other Hitler”. Hence the last name. Even he changed it eventually.
Schneckenhof rhymes with banhof (sp?) and thats a train station. They used trains to cart of you know who you know where.
I think any reasonable person would come to that conclusion.
This is why this reasoning is crap. Adolf Shmitler is fairly obvious, but make sure to clear any reference to all the nazi criminals as well as soviet ones while at it, unless we are just cherry picking which regime we happen to hate the most. But this is getting to political. Normal name, I dont see issues. If you do get some vaginosol.

seems more like this guy was just unlucky ngl.
Ok. I’ve cooled down a tad on that.
I will roll back my complaints about every other “dubious” username except one in particular.
Ok lets just presume all the other ones were totally innocuous / moth man / borg / mob, and totally and utterly not in any conceivable way a reference to any person real or fictional. Including someone named “Beans McGee”…And lets just presume that the admin was acting in good faith and was going down the list alphabetically.
Even removing all that from the equation?
“Adolf Driggers”? Come on now.
Now How does one single out “Cap’N Jack Morgan”
Alphabetically.
Before “Adolf Driggers”?
I don’t see that username on the ban list?
(I can only assume the name list is alphabetized. AND I will even allow that I may be wrong on that.)
The name Adolf Driggers - Violates Rules 2, 3, 4, right off the bat.
Particularly flirting with the line on “Racial and homophobic slurs are not permitted.” from Rule 3.
Yet “Cap’N” was singled out first and specifically, and banned in the next round AFTER I made a change.
Hence my point. The enforcement was entirely arbitrary.
So to prove this. I am now changing this character’s first name to “Saylor” and before anyone Bwoink’s me for THAT,
That is an ACTUAL common first name AND last name, and more actual people have it than
“Adolf”.
Reference for “Saylor”:
Reference for “Adolf”:
If anyone Bwoink’s me for Saylor, then there’s absolutely ZERO reason that everyone named “Tailer” or “Taylor” (surname derived from the occupation of “Tailor”) or Smith (Surname derived from the occupation of “Blacksmith”) should be allowed.
Nevermind anyone who is named: Adolf, Hess, or Eichmann, or “Juden” (German word for Jew)
First: The other name in question starts with “Adolf” and the last name has “-iggers” in it.
How blatant do you have to be? I mean you really have to be nearly blind at that point not to see it.
Secondly “Hof” just means courtyard. Its like saying the word Plaza is offensive. Also that is two leaps of logic not one.
That’s pretty brazen of you to jump from “Courtyard” to “Train Station” to “Holocaust”.
Thats like saying “Hof” —> Templehof airport in Berlin —> Hitler’s Bunker
Maybe you should learn its called Vagisil, and that you’re using it wrong, It’s not meant to be ingested.
It was the first and most obvious name in violation of the rule that I saw.
Human’s generally don’t have honorific titles as part of their name.
The ban from the server is an appearance ban, not a game ban.

I was discussing the name Adolf by itself. And sorry dont know how its called, dont need it.
just change ur name so its human it can still be a jokeish name but change it so its at least logical to be named that and isnt a direct reference like “george floyd”
Again, “everyone knows it” is a dumb reasoning. It makes you assume that what is obvious to you is obvious to everyone. Which is dumb. Better not start at all because that inevitably leads to abuse of power when you inevitably get it wrong.
bro I said like one thing about how adolf as a name is refering to adolf hitler and is bad, and this man is going buckwild trying to defend names like that, what the fuck
Because that is what I did. Naturally.
Can you tell me, in your understanding, what have I taken issue in your comment with?
Was about to protect him because Adolf is a common name in non-American parts of the world but Adolf Driggers? Come on.
I’ll remove the appearance ban.
Just please change your name, and if you see names that you feel don’t belong on MRP please ahelp them
