We would like them to change their name, but they refuse. I believe Balrogga has mentioned it being copyrighted.

I don't think you can copyright names of Role-play stuff... I'm not a mod, but I would say that if they really want to be so childish, let them have their fun... as long as they aren't harassing people from the original organization... or vice-versa.

Aye. I do not believe RP names are an issue for moderation unless it is inappropriate or turns into obvious harassment.

they can even be almost exactly the same and it isn't against the rules i think. they can be the same thing with only a ! difference in the names.

What's the difference between "10 members" and "many members" anyway? "Many" seems unnecessarily vague. Why do you know how many members they have, but not how many you have?
