Names on the server

[Jamie]

Lately I have seen some names that are allowed by PB but I have my thoughts about them..

Names that include Bin Laden
Names that inculde Al-Quaida

They are known as terrorists, is that allowed. If its my decission I would say: block the name. I am strongly against terrorism, but that is just MY opinion. What do you guys feel when you read that name on our #1?

Regards,
Jamie

I recently found a user on our server with a name that said they were an [illegal drug]smoker.

I think that al-quida names should be kicked from the server and perhaps added to the ban list.

I say block the names i have seen them too, usually the leave after the see they Bible verses and rules anyway.

Get me screenshots, and you won't see those names on our server again (except when they try to join and find out that they are "PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THIS GAME SERVER BY PUNKBUSTER".

[Dynasty-=Of-God=- (David)]

I sent you a pm with the ss for the person i mentioned... don't know if they were banned or not..

Want to know if he's banned? Look him up on our MBL -- it's available to all clan members to view, at the moment (will be available to all forum members soon, once I finish up some tweaks).

Since we are on the "server names" topic, I would like to know how you all feel about players with names like "lung cancer" or "HIV-spreader", etc... I am personally offended by the ppl using those nicks with "cancer" in them, but thats for personal reasons, and usually they have very low honor. Some ppl will do whatever they can to get attention.

Bin-Laden is just another name over in that part of the world, like Smith is here...Interesting read here on the prominent bin Laden family... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family

"bin" actually means "son of"

Fathers' names
Usually a father's name will be preceded by "bin", sometimes spelled "ben", which means "son of" (this is the same word you will find in Hebrew for example as in Benjamin the right pronouciation is in fact Ben yamin). A name can be described to any precision required. Some people carry the sequence of names up to the fourth or fifth level, so they use that as a full name; others just use first/last or first/father/last. A father's name is referred to as a "kuniyyat".

Occasionally, a generation may be skipped. If Omar were much more noteworthy than his son Abdullah, then Omar's grandson Mohammed may call himself "Mohammed bin Omar."

Sometimes the first name is omitted when referring to a person; when this happens, the "bin" is replaced with "ibn". For instance, if we are to omit Mohammed bin Omar's first name, it would become "Ibn Omar" (Meaning: Son of Omar).

Women are named the same way as men, but replacing the word "bin" with "bint" (daughter of) after her first name. The sequence then continues with the names of her father, his father, etc. (All Arab societies are patrilineal.)

Just saying that we might need to be careful in blanket banning by name. Where do we stop? I was once beat up badly in the 4th grade by a Jamie Beaty and am still traumatized to this day because of it, lets ban all Jamies and Beattys. Ya'll getting my point? Either way I'm for the clan and will back any and all decisions the clan enacts..
