Uh oh, who was reported? Sorry to hear it. I try to mind my own business but there are a lot of nosy busy-bodies who think there is nothing nobler than reporting a toon they feel is in violation of the eula.
Again, sorry to hear it.

Will you be the key to the Knives of Artemis' survival? or the instrument of their destruction?
Yeah. this is pretty ridiculous.
If its blatant, I report it. But if its someone with a global i recognize, i turn the other cheek, after sending a LOL at them
The toon doesn't really matter. I'll change some of the outfits around a bit, but if NCSoft feels it is a real copyright issue, then delete the character and delete my account. What I find amazing is that one of the costumes "genericized" is our SG uniform that looks nothing like any existing character.

I'd petition to get it back...they gave Squints his toon back and he's a dirty rascist. 
Did they genericize all of the toon's costumes, or just a couple? It may be that it's an all or nothing action.
Regardless, sorry to hear that!
It was just the costumes which are nothing like anything copyrighted to begin with.

Not justifying what happened, but it probably happened after you showed off one of your lovably obnoxious binds with her.

First off, let me say that I have no idea who you are or who your Character is ... it sounds like a lot of folks know you, so they probably have a better idea whether or not your Character violated the EULA.
That said, I will say that your attitude is totally wrong. The person who reported you did nothing wrong ... in fact, they should be commended for helping to keep our game running and avoiding legal issues that could shut down the entire game.
Like I said, I don't know whether your Character violated EULA or not. If there is a problem with what happened, it's either on the side of the GM who adjudicated the petition (if it wasn't really a violation of the EULA) or on your side for making the Character in the first place (if it was a violation).
On the bright side, if the individual being conscientious enough to follow the guidelines passed down by the Devs has now generated an interest on your side to also report potential violations of the EULA we can at least take some comfort from the frustration you've felt. It sounds like the interest on your side may be somewhat misguided, since it sounds like it's generated more by a desire to harm your fellow gamers than to protect the game. But sometimes we have to accept progress in small steps.

I agree with Boegs.
It sucks when innocent people get generic'd, but that's the fault of the GM making a bad call. Baseless petitions should be dismissed by GMs. Players can and should petition characters they honestly believe to be violations.
I'm aware that some players maliciously use the petitions in an attempt to grief others rather than out of a true belief that a violation has occured, but that's why the GMs review the petitions in the first place rather than the game just automatically generic'ing anyone who gets petitioned.
If there's a miscarriage of justice here, it's the fault of the GM that took action, not the person that petitioned. Not knowing the name or look of the character in question, I can't give an opinion about whether or not the genericing was justified.

I don't think you read my post at all. I've let many, many, many things go over the past 5 years I've been here. During my tenure, I've seen my share of Wolverine, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman and other "off color" named toons and did not report them.
Now, according to your response, people like this should be reported because they are "hurting the game". I'm sure to see "BangMeGood" and "D E A D P O O L" this evening in Atlas doing their usual AE PL begging, so I will be reporting them since I don't want to "hurt the game".

If they are offended by off color language there is a profanity filter and they should use it.

The profanity filter is a tool to help protect people (generally children) who are playing the game ... it is not an excuse to ignore the rules of the game.
For those who haven't recently read the Rules of Conduct, some excerpts:
You may not use sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language.
And from the EULA:
Member Conduct. You agree not to use the Service to: take any action or upload, post, e-mail or otherwise transmit any content as determined by NC Interactive at its sole discretion that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable
It may be reasonable to debate whether the phrase "No **** Sherlock" is obsene, but it is certainly not reasonable to expect someone to use the profanity filter to protect themselves from obscene language rather than putting the blame on the person who has violated the Rules of Conduct and EULA in the first place.
I drop F-Bombs in arena chat all the time.
I think the best was when I danced around Atlas on a toon named "EightEqualsEqualsEqualsD". He was flesh colored with blue veins.

yes, I play on just about every server ... I'm not on Triumph regularly, but I've got a few toons there.
Last I saw, there was no exemption from the Rules of Conduct or EULA for Triumph or any other Server. Unless you're trying to use the "Everyone else was killing people, so I thought it was OK to kill people too" defense, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

K, i understand, play tri moar and maybe you'll understand lol, we've got karl, im pretty sure that alone chases off the children
is pg13 enough of a rating to include that word, cuz if im not mistaken, plenty of PG13s use that word if not worse on a more serious note
Thank you so much. Thank you for taking all the enjoyment out of one of my favorite toons now whom I enjoyed playing very much.
She is not a "clone" of an existing character. She is a very, very loosely based parody.
I've no idea who did it, but I just wanted to say thank you. I'm glad you've nothing better to do with your time than ruin other people's fun.
Since the introduction of i14, I've seen more than my fair share of Hulk, Wolverine, Deadpool, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and various other rip-offs in Atlas asking for PL farms in the AE. I've seen my share of "colorfully named" characters like "HooFlungPoo" and "BangMe" and I've minded my own business and let you go about doing your own thing.
From now on, I will make it personal mission in-game to locate every possible clone and report it.
Thanks again for ruining my character. I really appreciate it.
