I did change your country name. Any country name that is deemed offensive is considered to be in violation of the rules. How game staff deal with rules violations is at our discretion. This can range anywhere from a warning to an outright IP ban from the game in the most extreme circumstances.
It's been our unofficial policy to rename offensive country names rather than delete them (in most cases) as we felt that deletion was somewhat overkill.
If you were truly bothered by that country name, you were free to request a different country name rather than self-delete. I usually answer private messages rather quickly.
Over the line would have been to change the country name to a direct personal insult or naming it something like "Sof Sucks".
Abuse of power would have been to delete your country for no reason, post your country spy ops for no reason or accusing you of running multies openly on the forums (or banning your account).
As a reminder: personal attacks are not permitted in game and hence are rules violations.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me in private.
Mok - i understand now. I assume that way of dealing with country names is cool.
But who decides what is "offensive country names"?. Because in 2 sets spent in Earth 1 A + Earth Express i have seen so many my eye hurts.
Now is clear that some of you mods and admins are picking sides. DH country name was not nice, was actually disrespectful. But what about the others in 1 A and Express?
did you look over all the server and noticed that ONLY DH has a offensive country name ? i doubt that ...
