Name

That's an inappropriate name and it needs to be changed immediately. Contributors have a few days before this page gets deleted. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Time's up. If anyone cares, this player needs to find a new (or censored) name in order to get a page. Silverdragon706/FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 12:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

The aliases get far worse from there, I'm afraid, but we can't delete articles of competitors because they've chosen a ridiculous name--Death by Rape would've been gone a long time ago if that were the case. Either way, SmashWiki has yet to introduce a censorship policy and I hope we never do. --RJM ^Talk 16:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

But that's why they're DBR. It's just wrong to have something so obscene shoved in people's faces. As much as I'm for free speech, I don't like stuff that's purposely done to offend people. Silverdragon706/FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:06, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there's any offense intended, actually. It's about context. The word "rape" in and of itself is innocent and has been adopted in a gaming context in such a way that it doesn't even reference its actual meaning in the minds of players who use it. --RJM ^Talk 12:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
