  1. Well, this is a subject I've had to deal with all my life. Yvon is my real first name. I just use a different last name online as it reflects (kinda) my real persona-ish (its a little tweaked, of course).

     

    But, being named Yvon, people automatically think and say Yvonne. Ok, so this assumption is

    SO WRONG!!!

     

    It's actually pronounced in the Russian vernacular, Ivan.

     

    So, for those of you who think I'm a woman, you obviously haven't met me yet so I could correct you or think that I really like to mow lawns.   :(


  2. I noticed the room does allow some words like "ass" and "boob" and "######" but you can't even say "cockroaches"!  These words, and many others, can be said in the startrek.com room without having to get around the censors.

     

    Perhaps this has some similarity to the word, 'balloon knot'?

  3. SHould it be necessary, most, if not all, IRC chat rooms do have a 'kick' ability. This functino is normally based off of preset criteria such as 'scrolling' (sending numerous lines of text or no text to the room within a very short period of time), using vulgarity (you can set up certain words that when said will kick someone out of the room), using colors for text (if you really want to be picky) amongst other things.

     

    There is also an option where room operators can do a /msg nickserv (or chanserv) KICK #channel nick ((or some similar wording).

     

    Being unfamiliar with the Holodeck and other STSF rooms hosted by Paramount, I'm not certain if these functions are available for you hosts.

     

    However, in a standard IRC environment, they are available.

     

    Therefore, if these options are available, the GMs have the ability and may just not openly advertise it nor may not acknowledge it due to contractual obligations.


  4. I've seen that list before. The source of those insignias and designations is RPG-Insignias. I like the Miranda listing better because it's an all-in-one listing.

     

    Plus I like the Miranda model. It's like A Sovy-Miranda-Prometheus freakazoid on crack or something.

     

    I gotta ask them for the model for my 3DS-MAX collection.
