She's called drama pony because in 10 years of the arena being around there is nothing that has caused the amount of drama the grey pony has :drunk:


I don't think even that "I'm going to give Mimic a major haircut for the lolz" thread got as much drama. And that was rather touchy. :ack:

Personally I don't mind the filter. People can call her what they want off the Arena but I tend to bounce around with names... EXCEPT for the name that the filter was created for

Right now, I call her Bubble Butt... though that may get confusing with G1 Bubbles.... Hmm *goes into her Pooh Bear Think* Think think think

Edit: *blinks* Oh wait I shouldn't call her bubble butt... *stares at her OC spots because she could almost be considered a bubble butt too*

While personally I don't think 'drama pony' was the best filter to go for, that's just me, and I DO appreciate the fact that the mods put a filter on a name that causes so much controversy here.

The fact that the mods tried filtering to 'Ditzy Doo' at first and it didn't work, still causing a lot of drama, shows why the filter was then changed to things like 'annoying pony' and 'drama pony.' The mods have already tried doing something less controversial, like Ditzy Doo or Bubbles, and it didn't work. They had to go a step beyond that to finally get the drama posts to stop.

I think LadyMoondancer had a good point. If you change the filter name to an alternate name for her like Bubbles, people will get confused and wonder why the forum is changing what they typed. If you make it an obvious filter, it might just sink it to some people that they are typing a name that is not allowed here.

I don't understand why anyone would feel sorry for her/guilty for using the 'wrong' name/defensive of her; she's not sentient.  It's like feeling sorry for a bedside lamp.

*gives Karen a high-5 and a stiff drink*

Thanks square...and I love my bedside lame  :shocked:

How about Goofy Grey Pegasus >.>; But yeah most of the drama has been when her name has been filtered to another name... HOWEVER, I haven't seen much about the current filter except for people asking why the name changes to that... Really with her fandom, it's hard to come up with a filter that makes everyone happy :(

I like the idea of changing all the ponies names. We need to do that one week out of the year just for fun.

RedRoses = Not Red

Baby Ember = Baby WhoDat

Rapunzel = GotHair

Firefly = 20%Cooler1983

Posy = Flowershy

Applejack = SameThing

When I first joined, I got upset that she had a name filter, but she was one of the reasons I got interested in watching the show, because I kept seeing a wall-eyed pony all over the place! Now, I am perfectly fine with the name filter as some people do find it offensive, even if the vast majority doesn't. I mean, if it's going to cause problems then that's the most logical solution. However, I am glad it's not annoying pony anymore.

I love it!

Incidentally, the girl doing Hoofstuck (check it out if you're a Homestuck fan, it's awesome) came up with the best name for the grey pegasus:  Bubblecup Blossom.

Why is this the best name?  Because it successfully references all three Power Puff Girls.

This. I think "drama pony" is pretty funny (and fitting).
