Thank you for the link, Wic it was enlightening to the situation. I understand your guys policies in this issue and I hope you guys see from my point of view what I'm getting at.
Many bfm's come into our server on a regular basis we enjoy having you there as well if for some reason our admins found your name offensive and decided to ban you for it you would be more than welcome to come into out forum and state your case. BFM is obviously not an offensive term and we wouldn't ban for that or ask you to change your name. But assuming another person came in with a offensive tag, (I won't state one) and we banned them for it or asked them to change their name and the petitioned I would let them know that their name was offensive and explain the situation.
I know you give your admins much wiggle room to judge. I also know that what is offensive to one may not be offensive to all or vice versa. Saying that one of our admins might find your name offensive and began to ban the BFM's from our server and you petitioned us wouldn't you state the same case I have? The name isn't offensive and you think we should make an exception to it? Or should we just let the obviously non-offensive tags remain banned simply for representing their clan. Or should we just make it up to the admin who happens to be in the server at the time. I know some people might find someones name offensive when it really is or isn't and that you leave it up to the admins to decide but you can make a rule change in this instance to allow Mafia~ tags.
I believe many of your admins simply follow the rules your clan has stated and don't find this particular tag offensive, if they do however I respect what they think.
To end this long post I would just appreciate a re-consideration here.
Again thank you for your time and consideration and to point out a particular spot in my previous post
"I will say though that Mafia~ will no longer attend your servers in any way shape or form if that becomes the case."
I don't want this to come off as a threat "oh you better listen or we'll not come in your servers" I know you have large numbers of people who come in your server and one clans members would make little difference, and that your servers are for your members for the most part.
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely Mafia~Bad
