Is Adolf an acceptable name?
Personally I think the name 'Adolf' has negative connotations so shouldn't be allowed but maybe I'm out of touch?

Would you want it spelled out in the rule precedents that Adolf specifically is banned?

Re: Is Adolf an acceptable name?
yes it's a completely normal name. We're capable as admins of distinguishing shitty names from "ok that guys just a normal dude named adolf"
we don't need to write that one down, we're SMART, we're BIG BRAINED admins, if you think a name is dumb you can just delete it.

Adolf -is- a perfectly regular name.
Naming yourself Adolf and giving yourself black hair and a pencil mustache is bannable.

Re: Is Adolf an acceptable name?
yeah it's fine
"adolf" isn't trying to smuggle anything in. It's too loud to be a racist dogwhistle, and it's a perfectly normal name in the language tradition it comes from - it's more of an english-speaking world historical response to stop obvious German-affiliated cultural expression in general and being named "Adolf" or "Hitler" in particular
A lot of people changed to either swap or modify their names to be more "American" in this country, but there were (and are) lots of Adolfs, Adolfos, Dolph's, Ed's, Rudolf's, etc. running around that had nothing to do with the historical reference we should be concerned about.
It gets a lot more concerning and worth considering if they then go on to act like or imitate Hitler in-game or otherwise be a dick.

As long as your moth looks and acts nothing like Hitler, sure.

Re: Is Adolf an acceptable name?
Adolf is just a regular German name, yeah. It's unfortunate that the primary association is with Hitler, but unless they're parodying Hitler or have a dumb last name, I don't see a reason they need to change their name.
