Chief, I'd just like to say that
a) I love your avatar. Soul Eater is one of my favorite anime.
b) If you were to continue to draw up commandments for other parts of gaming, it would be a very good thing.

Actually, I think it looks vaguely Russian...which is awesome...ygetoff said:
Your name WILL be shortened, so make sure it can be recognisable from a short part of your name. My name breaks to "Words" or "Smith", but "Words" is usually what is used. The time that it takes to type "wordsmith" is half a second more getting injured.
*hypocrite's hat on* Do you really need to frame your name? Does *(Gerald)* really look better than Gerald? (I say this with my hat on because my steam/IM name is, and has been for a while, {{~The_Wordsmith~}} )

After reading all the rules, I'm glad to know my GT is safe.
On a side note, Wouldn't 23 commandments be hard to carry down a mountain?

Excellent work on the commandments - I tip my hat to all the fine folks who came up with these guidelines.
Personally, I can't stand people with things like "xX_____Xx" or "xXx_____xXx" in their bloody Gamertags. That, or the ever insufferable "MLG". Drives me up the wall to no bloody end. [¬¬]

That is exactly what I was going to say.Draxis said:
Also are people really so lame that they let a persons screen name piss them off? Who gives a shit! If you get butt hurt over something like that go swallow broken glass.
Those are good rules, too bad there's no way to enforce them....
My gamertag is Johnny Buttrock (my Rock Band & Guitar Hero alter ego) and I think that I did well to choose that name, though some people snicker at it... Can't imagine why.....

Have it not be Leroy Jenkins.
My SteamID is Frozen_Napalm
Also, keep it simple and short. Nothing over 15 characters

Yeah, an X-box at my old dorm had lots of non X-box Live names like "a55 kicker" and "a small child" The best was playing Halo and reading "a small child beat you down."Darth Mobius said:
In all seriousness though, I read a lot of these posts getting at the same thing: What some people take as random numbers at the end of a name often mean something to the creator of the name; they're not so random. This is the case with my own Gamertag.
But beyond that, I don't think the numbers at the end mean much cause most people are just going to shorten the name down to 1-2 syllables, if possible. The Rule should be something like "Put in enough letters to form a readable name" and an addendum: "don't be offended when people shorten your name."
