"While CSRs are changing names like this one, people with names like Uliq Quel'Droma with 75 badges to their name are still running rampant."


Lol, there is a guy on Naritus with it spelled Ulic Qel Droma or something like that. I don't know much about EU Starwars but I did earn his robe in Knights of the Old Republic. There is also a girl on my server named Bastila....

Honestly, i don't remember a "Turdnut Korn" in any of the books. look, you tried to get away with a dumb name, and got caught. there are some names out there that are funny(ran into a Ba'ada ding on the bria server last night. now that's thinking) and some are just out right offencive. there is a time and place for stuff like that... unfortunatly, SWG isn't one of them... good luck with your new name.

My favorite name I've seen so far was a dancer on Eclipse named 'Oohlala Delicious'.

And I don't have a problem with non-star-warsy names, but some are questionable.
I think 'Turdnut Korn' is borderline. I don't like it, but not sure I would ban it.
To me, names like that are like a joke repeated too many times. It may cause a snicker
or chuckle the first time, then it gets old fast.

To change the tone of this thread, I have seen some creative and amusing names in game (Turdnut NOT being one of them).


ChewOnYa (a wookie MCH)


Ataco Andsalsa


Anyone have any oher good examples of names that are truly amusing and creative not bathroom idiocy?

I'm afraid I have to agree with them for the most part. Had I seen the name, i probably would have reported it if I knew how. It was a risk you took, and I think losing your structure access probably is valid, although I certainly wouldn't cry foul if they let you keep them. I definately DONT agree with their inability to respond to you. That's unacceptable, and I hope you do geta response.






I think all you have to do is target the person and use the /report command. Or /report [name]. I have only reported one person for a name violation and that was way back in the beginning. If I reported everyone with a name that is against the ToS that I saw now, I wouldn't have time to do anything else. Oh, and the guy that I reported was named something like 'Jeezus Chryst'.





Doesn't always work. report is technically used to report abuse through chat, not names. I tried to report a truly awful name i saw the other day using it, but it told me that it wasn't allowed since there were no chat logs from him in the last 10 minutes.

Well well Squatch (and all you others that think this was a BAD thing to do by the CSR's)


Here are the OFFICIAL naming rules and I can only say... Look at the BOLD words that I have highlighted and then you'll see that this name-change was just fine and done by the book.


*points down to the rules*






1. Vile, profane, rude, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, and homonyms of these words.
2. Combinations of words that produce an offensive result (e.g. Hugeaz, Tug Mcgroin).
3. Names of religious, occult, or significant historic origin (e.g. Jesus, Allah, Satan, Stalin, Angel, Devil, Demon).
4. Trademarked names of products, services, or concepts (e.g. , Marlboro, Sony, Band-Aid).
5.Non-fantasy or non-science fiction oriented names from popular fiction or non-fiction media either fictional or non-fictional(e.g. Bill Clinton, Austin Powers, Britneyspears, Harrypotter)
6.Common words and phrases that would not be found in thesetting of the game (e.g. Television, Cellphone, Pickuptruck, Dude). This includes references to drug substances or drug related paraphernalia. (e.g. Ecstacy, Cannibis)
7. Proper names from the Star Wars universe, including the first or last name of any significant NPC in Star Wars Galaxies or the Star Wars universe (e.g. Skywalker, Greedo, Vader, Exar Kun, Xizor, Fett, Tuskien)
8.Names chosen with the intent, or possessedof the effect of harming the reputation of, or used to impersonate a customer or representative of Sony Online Entertainment, LucasArts, LucasfilmEntertainment Company, or any of their partners or affiliates.
9. Names containing titles within them, such as, but not limited to: The, Lord, Lady, Master, King, Knight, Sir, Father (e.g. Sirtallon, Lordeagle, Mothermaggy, Darksister).
10. Fantasy-oriented names that are easily recognized from popular existing media (e.g. Gandalf, Pikachu, Drizzt, Godzilla, Aslan).
11.Names where the combination of the first and last name violate a previous rule (e.g. Harleeda Vidsonn, Clint Eastwood).

For all of the above, misspellings and alternative spellings of the word or words are also unacceptable.


Also, for category 1 or 2 name violations, characters with this type of name can be changed immediately and without notice. These changed characters will lose access to any structures (houses, PA halls, or harvesters, as well as any items in these structures), vendors, and any items on vendors or in the bazaar. There will be no reimbursements made for any items, structures, credits, skills, or any other game related issue directly related to the character name being changed for category 1 or 2 names







Tough luck dear, hope you choose more wisely next time you make a character

Hah! We got one starred Yimaz! LOL


Who cares if the name isn't star warsy? My sn is Hebrew. Should I have my name forcibly changed and lose access to everything simply because it isn't star wars? Get real. That argument is complete bull **edit** and you know it.


Yeah, the dude broke the naming policy and paid the price. That's a non issue. What I was refering to with you all having a stick up your ass, is treating the guy like **edit** just because he chose a name related to **edit**. So he has a tactless sense of humor. Does that make him any less of a person and negate his right to be treated like a person? I personally find the egotism of that more disgusting then poop jokes. Treat people like you want to be treated. From this thread I gather most of you want to be treated like worthless annoyances.

Turdnut Korn - not so offensive

Heywood Yablowme - offensive.


Need to give that dude a tell and see if he still has the name.
