So /tg/station used to be my favourite and only server for years. I didn't look here for a long time, but was periodically checking for few months.

And I see:

AAAAAAAAAAA the wizard
Memes the wizard

CAPTAIN ANNOUNCES:

Central Command Update:

Why
Because even the strongest mind and will can be overpowered by memes.

As you can see, this stuff is a case-by-case basis, but the admins do try to crack down on it.

Yes, this problem exists. It probably shouldn't, but at least we aren't Hippie.

We had a naming policy for the longest time, but apparently it was far too oppressive for some people.

Should re add that.
I've seen Jim Jones and that's one of the lesser crimes against naming.

we still do

>Rule 3 Precedents. - Excessively OOC names fall under rule 3. Make a minimum effort to have your name fit in a setting involving a wacky space station in the future. Admins may get involved if your name is dumb.

admins have laissez faire to change names if they are dumb or excessively ooc

Personally, I still see the naming policy enforced from time to time, but it is a lot more leniently enforced.

it's clumsy as shit, just be an asian girl named Ayla Mao.

also if you name yourself something dumb and stick to your guns and play the character with their dumb name you don't usually get in trouble, I play as Space Caveman all the time and no one bothers me because I go UNGA BUNGA and hunt rats in maintenance while naked.

I'm disappointed that no AI has ever tried pulling a "But dorfs aren't humans" trick on my main character.
