This policy is intended to define acceptable user names that are created on the DDO Compendium.
Character Usage[edit]
When creating a new account only letters and numbers are to be used. The use of any non-standard character is disallowed by an installed extension and will trigger an error when creating a new account.
Username Likeness[edit]
Usernames should be unique and dissimilar to other existing usernames. In addition, usernames should not imply any sort of power or capability (such as bot or admin), or a link with Dungeons & Dragons Online, Turbine, Standing Stone Games, or Daybreak Games.
If you wish to create an account that implies such a link to the aforementioned companies, we would prefer to be able to verify such connection, so as to prevent impersonation. If you wish to create a bot account for editing on the Compendium, please see the bot accounts policies.
Inappropriate Names[edit]
User names will not contain any wording or inferences towards profanity, racism, sexism, or hate of any type. User names will also not contain any sort of URL/URI, or a web address of any type.
User name appropriateness is subject to administrator discretion.
About This Policy[edit]
This policy is a fluid document and may be changed and/or altered as the need arises. If there is something that you feel has been omitted or is inaccurate, please inform an Administrator.
