    Right me and some other people were online and we realised that /warp gay is marked as an inappropriate warp and we think it should not be because:
    1. Being gay or any sexuality is ok
    2. Gay itself as a word is also a synonym for happy
    3. Its not a curse or swear
    4. Even if nobody uses the warp name I am not happy with it being classed as inappropriate
    If anyone has any more suggestions as to why it should not be an inappropriate please put them down below and I'll edit them in
    Thanks if anyone bothers to reads this- this is important to me

    The particular reason it is classed as inappropriate is because of the usual use of the world as a derogatory statement. It is not labeled as such due to any such homophobic tendencies or anything, simply that people in the past used it in less than ideal manners. Not to mention, should the warp name be reclassified as appropriate, the chances that the name is abused are higher than you think.

    What he said.
    But seriously, its not because they have anything against the word or people itself, it's how other people use it.

    I agree it shouldn't be a inappropriate warp name. I have a question to UngodAlmight, how could it be abused? Someone could name a warp /warp gei if they wanted to :p

    As I said, it is often used in a derogatory manner. Someone takes the warp name, and some of the people who find out about it start flaming and what not. Obviously mutes and bans can be handed out if that were to happen, but this is a preventative measure.

    Right basically I couldn't care less what was at the warp, as long as it was nothing offensive. If need be I could take the warp name.

    Most of the inappropriate warps are set at a place at my island. I didn't set /warp gay there because I was saying homosexuality is wrong, I do believe it's okay to be any sexuality, but let's not start any arguments with people's beliefs. Many people nowadays use it as a derogatory term such as "that is gay", which is stupid because yes it's also a word for happy. If the warp was made allowed to be set by other people, I'm pretty sure people would abuse the name of the warp.

    Yes that seems like a better idea than having it classed as inappropriate, thanks
