Then that's blizzards problem. Naming the Character has nothing to do with Privacy, as far as I am concerned. However, they don't agree, and I'm not paying them enough to change their mind. And having someone's feelings hurt can be a very delicate balance in a guild. If more people worried about something so simple as "Hurting their feelings", then the world would be a much safer place.

Actually, I would bet the purpose of the ticket was to see if Blizz could check a log or something to find out who made the change. I can't say that for sure, but that's what popped into my head as I read the OP.

/sleep omg boring read!

Or even better, how about an option to only allow people to change their OWN note? It seems so obvious, I am baffled as to why it hasn't been implemented by Blizz...

So true. If someone gets their feelings hurt they need to grow up, brush it off, and move on.

I'm not sure why this post was marked down. Perhaps someone is offended by the idea of not being offended?

Perhaps it would be better served if some people rather learned some manners? Then nobody would be offended.

"A bit of kindness, a bit of civility in a cold world. It's the most that you can hope for." -- Cassidy, Preacher. (Heavily paraphrased from memory.)

People shouldn't need to accomodate for everyone in the way they conduct themselves. If we all did, we'd have very little to say.. Or just alot of awkward silences because we're too busy moderating what we're about to say in our heads before we speak it.

I'll bite. I'm assuming that you are responding to the comments on Adam Holsky's post about the "Rosa Parks Took My Seat" arena name?

If you want to argue about the problem of the oversensitive American culture, I'll be glad to debate with you why these pansies are turning our nation into a snotty nosed, sniveling group of people who's world is turned upside down any and every time anyone makes a comment they don't like. After years of this, it's beginning to border on the criminal. These people whine and moan until someone censors those who speak their mind.

You bring up Bush and 9/11 as an example of this, but the real censors in this culture, the real people who encroach on our freedom, the real people who can see nothing but skin color, sexual preference and males or females are the very people bitching and moaning about it anytime anyone they disagree happens to open their mouth.

I know it's an often used term, but it's pure Stalinism. Those you disagree with should be silenced. One way or another.

No, actually I wasn't. I hadn't even read them before you replied to this post. And after reading them, I don't really think they are worth responding to.

agreed right there

But, a Guild log would be useful too...
Who promoted/demoted/invited/kicked/changed notes would be a nice thing

its strange sometimes to see new people in high ranks that were never explained to you...
I always feel like i'm being invasive and aggressive to new people if i ask directly... would be nice to just check the log, see that your trusted friend added them to the guild and hopped em up a rank or two and invite the guy to party

For the complaints about being offended and suggestions for people to take it easy... sometimes it doesn't work that way. Its not your place to dictate what works for someone else. If a guild wants to promote a policy of PC and friendly, that is their call, and such activities are disruptive to their guild. Granted, they brought it upon themselves with such a big batch of potential suspects.

SimpleSurvival, one of the signs of a good guild is a list of requirements or traits of each rank within the guild and how to obtain them. This way, you don't have that kind of confusion when people get promoted.

For example, the guild that I used to manage before stepping down to focus on my real life had very simple ranks and rules. The first rank was for neophytes and people who were reprimanded. The next two or so ranks were level-based -- if you hit a certain level, you were automatically promoted (unless you join the guild within two weeks, in which case you were on probationary status and considered under review). The next rank was our Aide de Camps, who were people who had demonstrated knowledge of the game and were considered valuable resources (loremongers, theorycrafters, whatever). Then we had a "hero" rank of sort which were given to people who had done something outstanding that deserved merit. The final three ranks were for officers and they had to meet participation rules (mainly about being a member of the guild for some time and being available -- guild officers who are never around suck) and have the recommendation of an existing officer.

Furthermore, every promotion beyond the level-based ranks was announced on the forums and often in-game using either the Message of the Day or word-of-mouth.

Having a log would simplify that, but it shouldn't be a bandage for good communication!

Your parents should've fracked less...

Totally pointless post, Buckshot, but I'll give you partial credit for the 'Battlestar Galactica' slang. ^_^
