After having the name "Heart Boobies" for 31 months my friend just got banned for 72 hours for having the name and obviously now will have to rename a character with a completely unoffensive name that he's had for nearly 3 years.
That's messed up.
I can understand some things, like a character of mine "Neato The Hooker" was apparently offensive - how is beyond me. But "Heart Boobies"...? lol wtf I think that's going just a little too far with the censorship.
Friend's name banned after 31 months

No, not really, i can see why it was banned. It's not a very mature name either. :O

It offended someone. It only takes one.

You murder somebody 3 years ago and get caught, you are still going to jail for the same amount of time as if your killed the guy yesterday.
Time elapsed doesn't make an offense any less. The name is immature and can be construed as offensive. If you have to pause to wonder "is this name offensive/bannable?" then it probablly shouldn't be used.

^ ^ IT only takes one person to type /report...he can try to contact support but more than likely they will not change the outcome, sucks after so long, but nothing we can do for him here.

In the beta they use to have blood, but anet has to go for that teen rating, and boobies are offensive to some people..
Tender Wolf
Well he'll more than likely only have to change the name. Now if he'd lost all the hours and time he'd put into that char for 31 months, then I'd be pissed. He should have known better than to make such a name that would definately get him banned...I'm surprised it went unnoticed for so long.
acerbity
how can you not see how a name with the word hooker or boobies in it, is offensive?
Lucifer PVP
heh seen worse that are still in the game since it started.

Yeah to be honest its one of those names that sits in the middle.
However at the end of the day when creating such a name, you do so knowing full well that it might upset/annoy others. Its not as if you took a RP name that just happens to insult someones mother in German.

It's much easier to report names, now. This site isn't NCSoft support. I'm not surprised by the ban, at all. I can't believe you are.

Um Boobies cannot be offensive as they are a gem and treasure to us all. They make the world go around and they make me a happy man.
Djinn Effer
lol NCSoft support? NCSoft doesn't have support. This is pretty much their answer to every technical ticket you send in:
Great, eh? Funny thing is that they actually told me to do that too. Not to mention trying to get real human responses. You get copy/paste messages for the first 5 times, then you get a retard then another string of copy/paste, then another retard until you get tired of going back and forth and just say RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO it.

Although the sentiment is probably correct.

In your profile you claim to be 30 years of age. So I am at a loss to understand why you do not understand why a name with boobies in it wouldn’t be allowed to remain once noticed. Well I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised coming from someone who uses the name Djinn Effer on a forum(very mature). Please try to act a little closer to the age you claim to be. Your friends name was inappropriate, get over it.
And why are you complaining about this here? Does this look like ANet central to you?

Djinn Effer = Jennifer. Wow.
I am 30, I have my own, and no I don't think it's offensive. I think I have some friends in clergy that wouldn't find it offensive. Crude != offensive.
Accursed
how is that name offensive? i can see a chick being offended by that name, but come on...

And for the record, I didn't say the name was offensive, I said it was inappropriate, which it is(just like your forum name). Care to toss out any more 5th grade insults?
Djinn Effer
My forum name is not offensive or inappropriate!
DarkNecrid
How is Jennifer inappropriate.
garethporlest18
Because MrOofus is a prude DarkNecrid.
Redfeather1975
I guess my name is offensive too, because it implies a bird got shot.
xiaotsu
Actually, after having the forum name explained, it doesn't seem anything near offensive, or inappropriate. We're just interpreting it incorrectly o.o

You're ranting about your friend who got banned for 3 days for having an offensive name?
If you feel that the ban was unnecessary, get your friend to contact support. Theres no point telling the forum, and theres no discussion happening in here.
