Let them reach 30+ then delete the char. ;D

And why /can't/ they ban people that use inappropriate names?

I agree. Although I like one character and even belongs to our clan. I find it hard to speak his name.

Since NGD can't ban everyone who makes a name like this, who thinks a censor should be implemented to stop it?

I do not like censorship myself but I am sure there are alot of children who play this game.

I agree, but the problem is that one of my characters wouldn't be allowed to play albeit his unoffensive name. The char name is "yoshitsune", and all the in-built censurers I've come across do not allow any variation of the "$hit" word! But it is an English translation of the name of someone that lived long time ago, namely 源 義経.

Although I'm against censorship of any kind. There are a number of younger children that play this game. They probably already know the words you mentioned above but that doesn't mean they need to see it everytime they log in. As a community we have a moral obligation to point out such trash, and point those that are misguided in the right path. Let your spanish noobie friend know that the name is unacceptable and should be replaced. He's only lvl 5 so it's not a big hassle. And it's better than being banned.
