Would this be offensive guild name? - Guild Wars Forums

Killed u man · May 06, 2007, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Adult Film Actors [XXX]

I ask here, so I know wether it's worth it going on with the guild, so it doesn't get banned in a month... Imo, it's not offensive, kids playing the game won't even realize what it means + It's a good laugh... It doesn't contain any dirty words, and isn't offensive to anyone! Your opinion?

If the prev. one is too offensive, would this work?

Ascalon Flight Service [WTC]

Or

Ascalon Airlines [WTC]

Why would it be offensive ?
Who would it offend ? The film actors ?

The Real Roy Keane · May 08, 2007, 03:07 PM // 15:07

I can't see anyone getting offended by the first one.
The second one (WTC) is much more likely to offend.

Billiard · May 08, 2007, 03:50 PM // 15:50

There used to be Adult Films Stars [XXX] or something similar before, and it was around for a while.

Personally I find the two airlines ones in bad taste with the WTC in there.

Diablo??? · May 08, 2007, 05:17 PM // 17:17

As long as Ron Jeremy is in your guild.

World Trade Centers.

Yea, Im not a big fan of the [WTC] tag...but its not offending, just bad taste IMO.

JoeKnowMo · May 11, 2007, 04:44 AM // 04:44

Since people are giving feedback, would these get banned?

Gale Blows [Gray]
Keester Pirates [ghey]
New Build Get Teh [Lube]
Pve Rox [NOT]
Eet Burnz Wehn Eye [peee]
That Time Of The Month [PMS]
Giant Black Snake [wurm]
My God Pwns Ur [God]
Game Balance Coming Soon [Liar]
Girlz Luv Meat [pork]
Liquor Front Poker [Rear]

I'm a fan of borderline/cheeky guild names.

I don't think any of the names you listed would get banned.
But whether or not it's offensive.. [WTC] is imo.

Anet is really sensitive to guild names. As long as it gets reported by someone, they are very likely to ban it or give you a warning as long as it makes reasonable sense that SOME group is getting offended. I'm pretty sure most of those names would get the ban/warning from Anet, but the bigger question is if your guild will get reported or not.

there, fixed that for you

Like pretty much everyone else has said I don't see anything wrong with the first one. I doubt any porn stars are going to be offended.
The second two however are lame and done in extremely poor taste. i wouldn't be surprised if someone reported that.

Nothing wrong with the first one. The next two are in incredibly poor taste and seem to go after nothing but to offend people with that tag. Though in general if you are confused/concerned about offending people and have to ask, probably shouldn't use it.

Elrodien · Jun 04, 2007, 02:30 PM // 14:30

I don't think the Adult Film Actors name would get banned at all. The other two are definitely dodgy, but you might get away with them. I had a friend who wanted to name his guild this:

Allahu Akbar [BOOM]

I don't think he would have lasted a day with that one

Killaya · Jun 04, 2007, 11:11 PM // 23:11

That Time Of The Month [PMS] HAHAHA!! I love that one. Being a girl and all. That is too funny. If I didn't already have a guild I would have totally swiped that name
