It is a cat.

 

It's really a cat.

 

 

This is just like an old school street race running for pink slips.  Its run what you brung and hope its enough.  Your online reputation is at stake here, fuzzy bunny or fuzzy bunny the fuzzy bunny fuzzy bunny.

Text chat filter works decently, so it would be a step in the right direction.

 

Why are you so opposed to this idea that the names be filtered on creation as opposed to correcting the issue only after someone complains about an obvious infraction to the naming guidelines everyone agreed to?

 

The argument isn't whether these names should be allowed.  It is clear in most cases that they violate the naming guidelines.  The question is how to better deal with it.  Or, Reloaded changes the guidelines to "anything goes".  Either way is fine with me.

 

If there isn't ANY filter on new account names, then a basic one, sure, I'm fine with that.  All for it in fact.  There supposedly was one at one point in time.. maybe I'm wrong.  Expanding one to cover EVERYTHING that could be remotely considered offensive?  No.  There should be limits to how far people, companies, or really any entity goes to accommodate the easily offended.  

 

What I'm not for is attempting to bring Hawken down to basically |C| or maybe |E| ESRB rating territory, game AND user content.  I'd rather not rehash the "why" on that.

 

To avoid all this, like I said, maybe Reloaded could add a parental mode (call it prude-mode :teehee: ) to Hawken that removes all text chat, player names, and shuts off voice chat.  Maybe have a white-list system where you can only converse with those approved by the parent with a secondary password / keyword on the account (not sure how much work this would be, probably not worth the effort).  Maybe even have the mechs just sit down instead of blowing up upon death (or just peacefully float away like a balloon), whatever... They could even replace all the weapons on the mechs with paint guns.  I'm sure someone would still find a reason to complain... like players drawing... things on walls... who knows.

 

The naming guidelines still have yet to be updated by Reloaded, but I'm sure they'll leave in

 

"Meteor Entertainment reserves the right to reject any Name it concludes, in its absolute and sole discretion"

 

...

 

 "modify, remove, or revise these Naming Guidelines, or any portion of them, at any time, all in Meteor Entertainment's absolute and sole discretion."

 

No matter what rules they put there, if, when and how they're enforced is up to Reloaded.  And Reloaded only.  All of this is purely academic until they chime in.

 

 

EDIT:  So there is one and it wasn't working.  So, I guess I'm back to my original argument then.   :teehee:  :wallbash:

We're discussing this internally, we weren't aware that it was broken (Thanks OP!).  For now please report name violations to support and we'll get them changed / removed / actioned.

i skimmed over this thread, and i'm a bit surprised no one (from what i've been able to process quickly) linked this. it appears that many visitors, both new and old, do not check the main site often—for good reason though, as it hasn't been updated for a very long time. if this has been referenced even indirectly, i do apologize for not noticing.

 

sure, it says Meteor Entertainment instead of Reloaded Games. however, what has been vaguely implied by both the community and devs, is that a simple string text replacement of "Meteor Entertainment" with "Reloaded Games" is all that is needed to maintain the same integrity and validity as before.

 

which begs the question: when will the site (i.e., playhawken.com) accurately reflect Reloaded's official acquisition that was made public by the PlayHawken twitter handle back in early 2015? Reloaded has already put their badge and replaced some text on the homepage, but many pages still have not been updated.

I still find it unbelivable how offended people get from images resembling Hitler. I'm not denying any of his crimes against humanity, but seriously, the guy has been dead for a better part of the century and nazism in the form it used to exist is dead. I mostly pity the neo-nazis (skinheads) as they would have been the first to go during the third reicht.
Why there isn't this kind hussle over Super Mario for resembling Stalin. Imho crimes of Stalin (not to mention those of many other communist leaders) were comparable to those of Hitler, or even greater. Still Stalin-moustache is just called manly these days. I long for a time when the Toothbrush would be called Chaplin-moustache again :'-|
Sorry for derailing...

Like I bold'ed from the excerpts from the naming guidelines page you're linking to, it's all up to the sole discretion of, in this case, Reloaded.  It's Reloaded and only Reloaded who gets the final decision on what is breaking the rules and what is not breaking the rules.  It's Reloaded who gets to decide what the punishment is.  And it's Reloaded who can at any time change the rules or get rid of them completely.

 

As for them updating the rest of the site.. who knows.. Soon™?

Can the forums just go back?

 

Back to when they were actually used for Hawken?

in the first age it was all about the git gud, then came the dawn of the steam and stream age, followed by the dark ages of "jaded community is so bad they lost their forums", and now here we are in the reloaded renaissance where assaults arent treated like gypsies and only good infs get away

 

its been a fun ride...

Thanks very much.  This is exactly why I asked.  For obvious reasons I wasn't comfortable testing this myself by making new names.  I thank those in this thread that did test it to confirm that right now pretty much anything goes.  I'm also happy to hear that this is not working as intended but will be fixed soon.

 

In light of some odd directions that this thread began heading in, I would be fine if the thread were closed now.  Thanks again.

Where is this recent spat of "it's too easy to make a new account" coming from? Do you want a postal address verification or something?

 

 

Obviously, nobody, not even silly ole' me, wants postal address verification.  No need for passive aggressive sarcasm.

 

The fact that all anyone has to do to create an alt account and be instantly online playing in multiplayer with it is to just create the account, seriously reeks of pure laziness on the end of the game developers (I know this was an Adhesive thing).

 

There is not even email verification man!  I can make up any address I want.

 

And I don't even have to go through new recruit training (easily circumvented) to get right to the business of stomping away with new-found anonymity.

 

Just by simply adding email verification and registration and eliminating the bug that allows skipping all of the training and tutorials, the number of alt accounts being created could be cut down by around 75% (pulling figure out of butt - just for you satisfier ;) ).  It's an old addage, "Is the juice worth the squeeze."  If it is more trouble to create a new account for an experienced player than it's worth... they won't be likely to do it.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

FTFY.

 

How do you plan to make alt accounts difficult to make without making legitimate new accounts difficult to make?

 

(And don't say "steam verification" by the way. I'm pretty sure I could make a fresh steam account in about the time it took me to type this post.)
