Hello respected higher administration team,
I am writing this forum post to respectfully appeal and question the decision made by Admin Frost_Vukovic, who punished me for having the in-game name Winter_Guy, stating that it was “not a realistic name.”
First of all, I would like to clarify that I fully respect the admin team and the rules of the server. This post is not made out of disrespect, but rather to request a fair reconsideration of the decision.
I respectfully request the higher administration to:
I am not asking for special treatment, only fairness and consistency.
Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal. I am open to any clarification or final decision from the higher admin team.
Respectfully,
Tanveer_Federal
I am writing this forum post to respectfully appeal and question the decision made by Admin Frost_Vukovic, who punished me for having the in-game name Winter_Guy, stating that it was “not a realistic name.”
First of all, I would like to clarify that I fully respect the admin team and the rules of the server. This post is not made out of disrespect, but rather to request a fair reconsideration of the decision.
My Reasoning
- Lack of Clear Rule Violation
According to GR2.1, a name is considered invalid if it:
i) Is not realistic or unrelated to real-world naming
ii) Uses famous persons’ names
My name Winter_Guy:
i) Does not reference any famous person
ii) Uses common English words
iii) “Winter” is a real-world surname and nickname
iv) “Guy” is a neutral and commonly used identifier
There are many real-life surnames and nicknames derived from seasons, nature, or traits. Therefore, Winter_Guy still fits within realistic RP naming standards
- Consistency with Server Standards
I have seen many similar names on the server that are accepted, such as names based on seasons, nature, or nicknames. If Winter_Guy is considered unrealistic, then many similar names should also be treated the same, which does not seem to be the case. - Good Faith Roleplay History
I have always tried to follow server rules, maintain RP quality, and respect staff decisions. I changed my name to Tanveer_Federal immediately to comply, even though I genuinely liked and identified with my previous name.
Admin Name Consistency Observation (Respectfully Noted)
I would also like to respectfully point out that the admin involved is named Frost_Vukovic. “Frost,” similar to “Winter,” is also a weather/season-related term.
Names like Winter, Frost etc, are commonly used as surnames or aliases in RP environments. Interestingly, even the admin’s own name “Frost_Vukovic” includes a word (“Frost”) that could also be interpreted as non-realistic if taken strictly.
I am not questioning the admin’s authority, but mentioning this to highlight that season-based words are already being accepted within naming conventions on the server.
My Request
I respectfully request the higher administration to:
- Allow me to reclaim my previous in-game name "Winter_Guy", as I believe it does not violate the realism standards when compared to many currently existing names on the server
- Reconsider the punishment issued by Frost_Vukovic
I am not asking for special treatment, only fairness and consistency.
Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal. I am open to any clarification or final decision from the higher admin team.
Respectfully,
Tanveer_Federal
