in a recent exchange of hostilities found the following: Defender VeeDee (#5234) Engaged Units Fleet Name # of Units Attack Defence Hitpoints Assasinator 1 ?????? 24754419 0 41524816 <b>Baldthingy 2 ?????? 5937439 0 9847672 Baldthingy 1 ?????? 5937439 0 9847672 Baldthingy 3 ?????? 5937439 0 9847672</b> MaryHinge 1 ?????? 3223582 0 3951661 MaryHinge 2 ?????? 3707119 0 3951661 Also found "SilkyMuff" on another attack I suggest that ToS covers these and filters could also apply to ship names. Cheers, PDJ Didn't notice the filter had substituted thingy for 4 letter word starting with t that can also mean an idiot used also to imply female genitalia....

Some names I agree shouldnt be allowed, but there are words that have more than one translation. Some people just shouldnt read too much into the meaning, just because your thinking the word means that doesnt mean other people are.
I have: Silver Freak Fest Silver Finger Lickin' Silver Chicken Choker Silver Beheader Silver Kill'em All Silver thingy Silver Wing Silver Banger Silver Disrespectful Women Silver Slurp silver Thigh Silver Licker Silver Teeny Silver Breast
and many more, they might mean one thing to you, but you dont know why I gave my ships those names and Im sure they have a different meaning for me than they do for you if you read too much into it.

Ah... what's to be said. If you don't like the ToS, say so. If not, take your own advice.

unless it has reall abuseing word "the f word" or relates directly to sex in a completly dickusting matter, i really dont see a problem in these sexual indoendos, (cant spell as you can tell...) most kids wont even understand what i means, you have to reamber that... for exsample.. if you said to a 6 year old "cheak out my Boomstick" there thing its a stick, that booms, not the other thing...

i agree with lammalord...its all about impying and infering. if one person means something to be like some cool space related thing and someone else infers that they are implying something else, then it isn't really an innapropriate ship name is it?

... Silver Kill'em All Silver thingy Silver Wing ...
and many more, they might mean one thing to you, but you dont know why I gave my ships those names and Im sure they have a different meaning for me than they do for you if you read too much into it.
I completely agree... but remember that if I say "Sad old f*g" or "pathetic Sod" most people do not think of an ancient cigarette or a compassion inspiring piece of land, do they? If someone (or several members of an alliance) has a list of ships all referring to colloquial names for genitalia, please don't expect me to believe it's a coincidence I appreciate that Mist is normal english and not particularly elegant german or puta may seem a typo (but don't call your spanish-speaking girlfriend one)... simply calling for a bit more care when selecting names. Thats all. Cheers, PDJ Also filters aren't perfect. What's your "thingy" called? (I mean the ship between Kill'em all and Wing of course...)

thingy - another name for a rooster / chicken I totally understand what you are saying about the names and some people go way overboard on the names which makes me assume that they are young and immature, or just old and bored like me Silver Finger Lickin' Silver Chicken Choker Silver thingy Silver Wing silver Thigh Silver Breast got their names because I just got back from KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)

Well, thank god all the VD names are gone..who could forget ghonnoreah, or syphillus. If those names arent TOS sensitive then nothing is. BTW, vulgarity is region sensitive. Sod off means two things to Brits and Yanks.
