Hi all,

Please be aware that changing your display name to something offensive will result in a temporary forum ban. Misuse of the name-change feature in such a way could also result in the ability to change your name being removed from your account for a year.

Thanks,
Mod Hohbein

A forum ban is a bit too little for that, I think.

Btw, second POST! (neo avatars

Name Change ban for a year is a pretty big turn-off, I'd say. But there will still be those who will carry on regardless

Santie AA changed his username to F-cking Pro. What's really ironic was that he was muted for 10 days for evading the censor, but they didn't catch his username.

The update doesn't bother me. I don't use the forums and I don't have an offensive username.

Forum ban. I don't think that'll really change anything. Half the people on runescape could really care less about the forums. o.o
At least a 24 hour mute would be nice.

Well a forum ban would just put people of coming back. Who cares if we offend someone they should just live with it.

To date, I have seen well over 200 "new" names, in-game, that should NEVER have passed the censor, as they would be deemed "too offensive". So far, nothing appears to have been done about it.

Honestly, what the hell is Jagex thinking here? Did they just unleash the damn censor and say to hell with it?

.. and when in the hell is Jagex going to get on the stick and do something about these names?

Likewise, what are these PEOPLE thinking? Didn't they actually read the update? Don't they realize that they will likely lose that offensive username once Jagex gets on the stick?
