Account Issues

everytime i try to log onto guildwars it says my account has suspended for using an unecceptable name. and it says i will be able to log on in a number of hours.
Does this mean my account is being hacked?

Uh, no. It means your account was suspended for having an inappropriate name.

No It means that Anet hass punished you for using a BAD name.

the name was pimp juice playa
that aint so bad..

Apparently someone thought it was and /reported it. Now, after the ban ends, you'll have a chance to rename it or delete it.

That might not be the name you were punished for. Any other characters?

Ummm... and a pimp would most likely be associated with exactly what kind of "juice"? Now you know why someone reported the name.

If you want to make sure that this does not happen again you might want to avoid any names or terms that could be construed to be offensive in any manner. By all means take a look at www.urbandictionary.com to make sure that you haven't unintentionally used a slang term with a really bad definition.

Also really wierd names get banned. Anything with a remote connection to something bad CAN get banned.

No. Most of us are just tired of seeing the rude, crude and obnoxious and refuse to deal with it any longer.

In the process we sometimes make mistakes where people who are using one definition are judged using a different - and more objectionable - definition. Once the policy is put into effect it cannot be allowed to operate on a subjective basis (ie, which definition was meant) because that allows someone to come up with a truly offensive name using an "acceptable" definition. Or at least claiming this is the case.

There are plenty of other threads about this very thing. Search FTW!!
