Every once in a while someone sees my user name and uses it as excuse to give me some trouble. When I first started playing everyone called me Dilo (nicknames are weird) so, naturally I decided to use that name (in need of something better). It was a good month or two playing before I'd learnt the connotation with the name. By then I was happy with my progression and I wasn't about to start again.

 

Between the 4 or 5 years from now to then I had received a lot of nonsense from other players about my name, forcing me to leave clan chats, training spots and using my ignore list. I shouldn't have to do this or defend my username. Today, was the nail in the coffin, I had to vent. So here I am venting. The guy came up to me and asked me my mining level. I obliged after I confirmed it was a question open to everyone and not just the other miner. The response? Crap about my user name. He even shouted about it to players around me, nor would he accept me saying that it was not the intention of my name to be offensive.

 

I probably will change my user name some time. Not now though, I'm a free player, (maybe I'll get a name where some letters aren't filtered as well) until then, I really wish people would stop being so immature as to make a song and dance about my user name.

How is your user name in any way offensive? It's not even a weird nickname - a friend of mine is called Dilo all the time and it never struck me as weird, certainly not offensive. You must play on a world for the vision impaired or something.

Are they adding a d in there anywhere? Cause that's the only way I could make it bad. Anyway, not being able to change your username means you're doing all that you can do. Or you could mess with their name. :thumbsup:

Yea, I was thinking maybe that would be the case, but it's so silly for players to assume someone with a name like Dilo's is referring to such. But from my experience on F2P (including this last month), so many players enjoy harassing others that it truly is sad :(

Kids are kids, just ignore them.

if it gets too much for you then you can always think of using the new Display Name system ;)

 

Your name is not offensive. Just some little teenager who goes into heaps of laughter over the word "poo" trying to make your name sound worse then it actually is.

Being compared to a toy that gives pleasure to women is a compliment in my opinion. You should take pride in that, or fill up your ignore list.

He has a point. :o

+1

 

And btw, that name isn't offensive. I mean, dilo is NOTHING like the connotation. So, there're just dirty minded people. :D

I think its funny...

I've seen far worse names, but its pretty bad you feel they are picking on you.

this sounds a bit like my friend. His r/l name was kris kirnov kambel...and whenever people saw his name, they'd immediately call him a racist. I was one of the few people who didn't care about his name whatsoever, and now we're the best of friends because of it (kinda weird that people judge people so easily based on looks nowadays...makes me wish that prejudice was a criminal offense)

Welcome to world of Runescape. It's a place filled with 12 year old boys who just learned that the thing in their pants is meant for something else than peeing. Just lol at them.

lolol ur name sounds liek dildo

That's a funny way to look at it. You've made my day. :)

I am still sitting here giggling. lol

 

After a little thought, I suggest you make up some definition and say that it is an American Indian word or some other type of not well known language. Like Dilo means to be a farmer of herbs referring to dill most commanly. Then they look really stupid like they don't know what the word even meant.

 

Good Luck

You just proved that most RS players are fairly perverted. Well done.

Seriously, you can use that as an excuse to laugh at them for being immature.

Honestly, I would assume that your name had innuendo behind it, for the simple point you name. Most of the RS population, especially pures and F2P, are idiots.

The people that make the pures are the bored high leveled members.

 

 

But nice try <_<

 

You'd think that when some people are born they're destined to become pures on runescape the way some people talk.

 

Stonewall337, instead of showing everyone that you're an idiot how about some evidence that logging onto different account builds changes a persons personality completely.

Agreed.

No way whatsoever, is your name offensive. Ignore them :)

Just pointing this out but go onto urban dictionary and search dilo. One of the answers is something I would not want to be called.

This made me laugh. Change your name. :) I'd hate to go through all the bother of flaming f2p noobs.

How in the world is dilo offensive? :mellow:

 

They're just idiots, ignore them. Or go on a 1000+ skill total world.

The most recent simpleton definitely had a total of over 1000. I'm afraid to say, level isn't going to change a thing. (Actually, I've noticed lower leveled players are nicer)
