How to report offensive Names/Behaviour?

I find naming your character after a serial killer and sex offender very distasteful and offensive.

Is there any way to report the user?

Its 2023. Nobody cares about your feelings. Life is tough, get thicker skin. Like Ogryn.

I fully disagree. At which year did people care more about each otherā€™s feelings then now?

Whatever it cannot be in Fatsharks interest that idiots use their game as a platform to worship disgusting real world people.

People demanding that we care about their feelings is the reason I dont care about them anymore.

If its offensive to YOU, just block them

Oh cā€™mon, itā€™s not even Hitler this time. You should write petition against Netflix show then. And crimes were like 30 years ago or something, whoā€™s feelings will be hurted. Most people donā€™t even know names of all serial killers.

Napoleon killed some people, Vlad Dracula. Should these named be banned? lol

Iā€™m not even saying that ā€œprotecting feelingsā€ is a stupid politics. Jeez, grow up and get some thicker skin, how are you even gonna survive in this world if you are so easy to hurt.

You can put in a support ticket if you want to report something to the devs. Some people @ the CMā€™s to get their attention, but theyā€™ll probably appreciate you using the ticket system instead.

I wouldnā€™t be surprised if they didnā€™t action it though, this is pretty tame compared to some of the other names weā€™ve seen in the past.

Iā€™m speaking from the observerā€™s point of view, if someone picks a Japanese name what would be your first reaction?

a: K, whateverā€¦
b: Ohh nohh its a mass murderers name from the Fukui province!!! RRREEeeeee

itā€™s a, becaus no one cares or knows about jackshit except in that small areaā€¦

If i give you 3 name from my country can you able to tell me wich one is a baaaad man ?

Dahmer isnā€™t exactly a low-key serial killer. He was practically a household name at one point.

I agree that itā€™s usually better to just not let this sort of thing get to you, but the argument that itā€™s fine purely because nobody knows who they are is pretty thin in this case.

@most_answers I get that you donā€™t care and thatā€™s your privelege. Why - if you really donā€™t care - you take the time to defend whorshipping murder and r@pe I canā€™t understand. Especially as I didnā€™t ask if anyone agreed or disagreed with my point of view.

@Tzcheese thank you for your helpfull reply - that was exactly what I asked. I submitted the ticket!

@CGILantern Iā€™m neither American nor is it relevant if others are offended as well.

PS
That I have to censor r@pe but not murder is interestingā€¦

Even in the most strict social nobody would care unless it touches the current thing

morality be damned

Youā€™re playing a game centered in a universe where r@pe and murder happen in the millions on a daily basis. You play a game where you chop off hundreds of heads and limbs per hour, and NAMES offend you?? I seriously donā€™t understand people anymore.

Fatshark needs to grant us the ability to actually change our name first before we can be reported for silly names. Maybe he made his name that without realising he couldnā€™t change it? I get itā€™s silly, but he doesnā€™t deserve to be banned or reported for it until the name change is possible.

Not sure if this is trolling or notā€¦ But hereā€™s how it works.

If you feel something is objectionable, block them. (side note we should be able to block more than 50 people)

If you also feel that a lot of people will also find it objectionable, report it to FS.

However just because you feel something is objectionable, doesnā€™t mean FS should block it. FS should block things they feel a ā€˜reasonableā€™ person would find objectionable. If you showed that name to 100 people, how many would find it objectionable, 1? 10? 50?, 90?. Now how about a name that contains a racial slur, how many would find it objectionable? 1?, 10?, 50?, 90?

Now flip it.

If the player youā€™re referring to plays 100 matches, how many people they play with are going to be offended? You, clearly, but not many others, if any. Is it easier for you to block them, or for FS to force them to change their name?

What about mr. racial slur. 100 matches, itā€™s going to be a pretty large number of people who are going to be offended, not 100% sadly, but itā€™s going to impact a bunch of people. Should 90% of the players have to block the same player, or should FS step in?

Where FS draws the line is up to them, but this is how it works.

Block them and move on.
