2 questions concerning illegal names on game!

[Sarah]

All my pirates, save Sarah (a very real life name...and on the list) are true historical figures. Never had a problem. Guess it depends on which filter is running the show at the time of name submission.

As far as using RL names being against the rules, I'm sorry, but there are far too many Bob's in the world for it to be an issue IMO. Now If I tried to get my name through as "Mrs. This is my real name and I live at this address, and by the way, here's my number"...well sure...problem there. Some of the more creative names players have come up with are 99% of the time really funny (anyone ever run across one of the many MiniMe's? I even saw one that looks just like him, LOL). Yes, there are some that are down right vulgar, but D should have been smart enough not to let them pass in the first place...and so some got through, that's why you have a report option.
