Unecerssary name change in game ?

So recently 17.10.2015 my friend called arskapaska was recently forced to change his name due to inappropriate reasons. He was literally not clarified why the namechange was happening. Basically his name ment **** in another language. So is this actually a good reason to force a name change to a player The name of the Game-Master Was Cognoscere. Also the word paska is actually the Ukrainian Traditional food. Wich is baked in easter Also popular food in Russia and poland. So i do not actually know if the name change was not reasonable. so im not demanding the name being changed back or the demote of this gm but i am just questioning the reasons of this name change. Thank you for your time.

There are no written rules exactly about character names but what makes you think that you should be able to use such names? Depending on the meaning of that word it might go against some other rules.

Google doesn't show any food when I search for your friend's name.

NO SOCIAL MISTREATMENT OR ANNOYANCE
Forums users are well-aware of this rule, but although it is softened in-game , doesn't mean you can abuse it. Again the punishment may vary depending on severity of the situation. Some abuses are as follows:

◦Racism/Discriminatory Behavior: Avoid at all costs, insulting someone's country, culture, lifestyle or skincolor. Even if you are just "joking" it isn't allowed. Slangs such as the n-word aren't allowed either, even in Guild chat. Don't blame guildies for reporting you. It's wrong and you should know that.

tl;dr - don't be offensive.
