    I love this! I saw TheCrazyBacca changed his name to something mean and got told off about @ChickenNinja, and he said a name protocol would come. So happy it did!

    Putty, would @ISISislove be an inappropriate name because I asked that person if his name meant the Egyptian goddess or something else... I think he meant something else....

    I hate that kid.

    I mean, I'm not really sure with that name. The ISIS abbreviation isn't like WOAH to me, but to others it could be seen as offensive, of course. Trying to put it into some kind of close comparison, would we ban "HITLERislove"? Probably not, but I'm not sure.

    I'll have to ask the other staff what they think.

    Just my thoughts-

    I think that ISISislove is an acceptable name because firstly, the word Isis is not necessarily the extremist organisation. I mean, it's obvious that this person means the organisation, but it also has other meanings. I seem to recall a beauty parlour chain being called Isis and receiving hate because of it. And they merely had the name because of the Egyptian goddess.

    Anyway, it is my opinion that HITLERislove is worse because to be honest, I doubt anyone here at McBrawl has really been affected by ISIS. I mean yeah, what they're doing is awful, but what are the odds anyone here actually has someone who was affected or damaged in any way by what ISIS is doing? Hitler has affected a lot more people's lives. So I think ISISislove can stay, but I still don't agree with the name.

    But hey, that's just my opinion.

    Well, ISISislove, in my opinion is offensive. Even if brawl players arent offended, their friends can be.

    EXAMPLE: My friend is from syria, and she was offended when my friends teased her about isis. It could effect us in that way, or their friends especially.

    Judging by the status of WarZ's community today, @ISISisLove is obviously referring to the terrorist organization.

    You can't have a permanent ban from that, if it gets banned your account will only be left with a 7 day ban.

    The account will stay banned until you changed its name.

    We won't ban alternative accounts of a player who got purely banned for his name, unless the name of the other accounts is also inappropriate.

    I think it just applies for the account that is against the Protocol.

    I think anyone who would get banned should get a warning before March 20th!

    But I think someone should actually send them a warning.

    If you do have a vulgar name, and are banned for it, but after a month you change it back, will you be unbanned.

    No, no. I mean if you change the vulgar name back to a server appropriate name, will you be unbanned if you appeal?
