fusionbolt2000 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 If I take the name of a character from an adult show, for an example South Park, and put that name on a neopet, in my case, Eric Cartman, would it be concidered offensive and bannable/freezeble? I have had him for about 2 years. The reason this comes to mind is because south park, where the name comes from, is VERY offensive. Quote
hrtbrk Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 You're likely good. There is a pet and an account named "south park" and they seem to be a-okay. Quote
brynchilla Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I think it would depend on the mod who sees it. Personally, I think it's fine. While some of the things on the show might be offensive, the name by itself is not. Quote
Shane for Wax Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I don't think they care where the names come from so long as the names themselves aren't bad like with swears and whatnot. Quote
Batman Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 It should be fine. Think of it this way, ANYONE can be offensive. They just want the language to remain PG so 4 letter swear words are a no no. Quote
twilight790 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I don't think so. I named my vandagyre Adrian_Beakey from family guy lol Quote
siniri Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 It also depends on whether the name is trademarked. If the name is trademarked, and they get a cease-and-desist order from the company that owns the name, they'll delete your account so they don't get sued. As long as they don't get such a letter, your account is safe. So the question becomes, how likely is the company to find your little neopets account, and how much do they actually care about things like that? Disney might care... South Park? I would guess not, but I don't really know. I also don't even know if the name is even trademarked. Just something to think about... Quote

A company wouldn't waste their time causing trouble over an account name on a game. People use trademarked names all over the internet. Different if it was a company or someone using such a name to make money under. Quote
