e: lol i can't even post it correctly in the thread title

I realise names like "Ðestructive Anomaly" and "Ðead or Alive" are interesting / tradition and we've allowed them to be this way forever, but they've caused so many problems over the years and make the faction difficult to search for. This was very clear during a recent ranked war beta - searching "Destructive" and finding no results, that is incredibly tedious.

This change will need to be enforced when creating a faction, and when changing the name of factions, we'll then need to run a script to clean (remove or replace) special characters from all existing faction names.
Ðestructive Anomaly is (soon to be) dead, long live Destructive Anomaly

premptive lol at anyone tricked by the title

Mentions: Unsupported Characters in Faction Name

The name gets killed temporarily every year, usually when a new developer makes changes. It's become a running joke at this point. Nothing had happen so far this year guess this is it.

Little sad to see it's being killed permanently tho

Seems like people aren´t aware that DA can be found in more than one way instead of just typing in Destructive in faction search...
