Hi,
so nicknames are not protected generally, but we have Site Rules:
1. Nicknames
Players at FlyOrDie can register their nickname to prevent others from using that nickname.
You must not choose a nick which (including those that in any way look like, sound like, stand for, hint at, abbreviate, or insinuate any of the following)
1.1. is similar to another nick already existing on the FlyOrDie forum or games.
1.2. is an obscene expression or graphics.
1.3. incites hatred on the basis of race, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion, political view or other personal characteristic..
1.4. refers to body parts or sexuality.
1.5. is abusive by profanity or used to harass.
1.6. calls to or applies to unlawful action.
1.7. is a form of advertising.
1.8. indicates that you are an employee or representative of FlyOrDie.
1.9. interferes other's reasonable interests.
No context spelling of any offensive matter to slide by our rules. All such names will be deleted and made unregistrable. Please remember to keep your Username clean, fun and free from any wordplay that would be considered offensive to any community member.
Apart from that just some nicknames are protected:
1- all current moderators and admins nicknames
2- repeated nicknames to bother the original owner
We have like, e.g. 20 Judd Trump in billard, which is a common name there. We go lenient with rule 1.1., as long as nothing happens.
Have a good day
