listening, and as Kniga was 1st level at the time, that was an >appropriate

Did you know that we have a different policy about 'Silly names' than e.g 5
years ago. I think Gore said something about it on a channel once.;There is no
need for any "discussion" about this. Wizards decide.

Ok, why don't you just give as a list of players that should be removed for
silly names I'm sure there's plenty of even worse and more offending names
than this.;And I don't think the point was to prevent arguments. After all, we
know you will (as I'm doing right now, and will always too) always express
your opinions. The point was probably that neither of you are the kind of
people that suit to be newbie helpers.
