The majority is the 58% of people that voted yes or neutral, both choices indicating that it doesn’t bother them. ---

I have looked at porn pics when I was at elementary without my parents knowing it and have interacted with elementary classmates who were as vulgar as Ron Jeremy long before my teachers and parents talked to me about the word “pussy”. Don’t think your kids are innocent, dude. I know I wasn’t back then and the internet barely existed. EDIT: PS: Clearly I was never a good Catholic. 😉 ---

> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > Likes don’t mean crap here, especially due to LAGL thread and multiple alts. By that logic, votes don’t count either. The No’s could be the OP using alts, the Yes’s could be me using alts, and the neuts could be someone else. ---

If you want to see something really humorous, look up Eve chars with “trump” somewhere in their names. Some people are funny/clever as hell. ---

Nice try but the question wasn’t if the names bothered them but if they should be allowed. Neutral votes don’t count for anything since they decline to pick one side or the other. Majority is just the greater number which doesn’t mean it has to be over half. > [@Avaelica\_Kuershin](#): > > Have another look. Amazing what publicity does. Yeah, the alt meta-game is definitely amazing. ---

A majority is more than 50%. If you’re going to be smug, make sure you’re right. And of course, you had six kids… awesome. ---

OP, most of the names in your list don’t strike me as offensive. Or I have to try hard to find some offensive connotation. Having said that , I get where you’re coming from. All I can suggest is if you come across an offensive reference log a support ticket. If nothing else , it at least highlights there is an issue. ---

Just to push the point that a few of us have made about what a majority is where polling is concerned. > Encyclopedia Britannica wrote > > > Plurality system, electoral process in which the candidate who polls more votes than any other candidate is elected. It is distinguished from the majority system, in which, to win, a candidate must receive more votes than all other candidates combined. Election by a plurality is the most common method of selecting candidates for public office. ---

This thread is a problem and has been closed, and OP’s Post Wiped. If you have problems with a characters name, please file a support ticket and let CCP Support handle it. Thank you. ~Buldath ---
