Blocking of names

<p>In ancient Greek religion,<strong> Themis</strong> was the embodiment of divine order and law.</p><p>Her second generation daughters were:</p><ul><li><strong>Dike</strong> - justice</li><li><strong>Eirene</strong> - peace</li><li><strong>Eunomia</strong> - rule of law</li></ul><p>According to eq2players, Themis is used once, <strong>Nemesis</strong> (Themis' alter ego) six times, Eirene is used 16 times, and Eunomia once.  Dike is not used at all. <strong>Zeus</strong>, itself a special case of the Greek word <em>Dios</em>, head of the ancient Greek pantheon and Themis' spouse for Dike, Eirene and Eunomia, is used three times.</p><p>Please get your religions straight.  To disallow "justice" and allow a king of the gods several times just seems wrong, no matter how mispronounced "Dike" is in currently languages.</p>

<p>If it triggers their 'naughty' filter, it's not very likely that it will ever get changed. It has absolutely <strong>nothing</strong> to do with religions, that happens to be one word that they thought was 'naughty' and so it is not permitted in names.</p>

<p>Themis has the word "The" as it's prefix. the language filter tried to filter out titles. I believe the filter thinks you are trying to say "The Mis" </p>

<p>Barx hit on the head - "dike" is a current misspelling of "d-y-k-e" more is the pity.  Personally I would rather run around with the original definition of "Dike" (justice) than with "Zeus" (unfaithful supreme god).</p><p>I doubt "the" has any blocking to it. As per Section 7 of the Naming Policy:</p><p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> <em>The use of "The", "D", "Da", "Dah", "Le" or other character combinations used to imply "The" as part of your name or surname are acceptable, so long as they do not utilize any in-game titles or violate any other section of this policy.</em></span></p><p>I have no gripe aginst "the" but against "dike" and the allowable use of "zeus".</p><p>PS - I had my nose bent by "urladiship" - a blatant work-around of titles for a toon, but that's a gripe for another day.</p>
