Felicity is a real life name, and Frostbite is a condition caused by cold (quite fitting for an elementalist). That's just plain dumb, no matter how you look at it. :/

Dunno why they ban people for "offensive" names but don't do anything about guild names. I've seen some pretty dodgy ones for sure
Stupid Shizno
they do
my old guild name was banned. but they cant kick you out of a guild. what happens is a guild name that gets banned loses the invite/guest options. but the current members can still play pvp/pve. so if you have enough people in the guild already, they can still continue to hold halls on a banned name.

havent been banned for a name but i have never flt the temptation to push a name to the limit of ok/obscene. name banning is kinda ridiculous though. it is very subjective. who is to say wheter a name is acceptable or not? w/e

Anyways Jizz In My Pants got banned. Couldn't care less about justification but I guess someone took offense to semen being wasted instead of being ejaculated into their cervix.

Just been banned for 'Ss Reborn' a character that I have had for nearly 3 yrs, apparently someone took offence to the reference of 'Ss' saying it referred to particular activites in the last war :/
and in e-mail tennis with Anet another character 'Arse Kickin Assasin' was also deemed in appropriate so entailed a 72 hour ban lol

I was not banned, but I had a name denied because it meant something in a foreign language. My step-grandfather, Irish by descent and a minister, was called Poppy but with a slightly different spelling. This had nothing to do with the slang use of it in a foreign language which no one here speaks. Anotehr friend could not name their pet warthog "Anklebiter" or any varried spelling thereof. Yet it was denied. This reminds me of the Vietnamese kid whose name was considered too offensive to be stated at his graduation, but means "Blessed of the Buddha".
The real immaturity is in those who are offended. They lack correct judgement and then punish others for their immaturity. The name taken by the OP was never offensives. It is an accurate statement of fact. I garden and I do not use my hoe for painting the house. Anyone who finds offense at correct and right things is less mature and more gutterally minded than those who are honest and blatant with bad language. The person they are trying to hide from afterall, is themselves, and forcing us to do it for them.
For anyone who thinks liberal nazi is an oxymoron the reasons this thread got started are proof they exist.

I know that some players deliberately go out to see what they can get away with in a character name. but for the honest ones, in my tennis e-mail with Anet, once I hit them with two e-mails about how unprofessional it is of them, to just go ahead an ban people(customer who pay for their mechandise) without warning or giving the player the chance to rename the offending chars first. you get no reply back from them at all lmao

Anet seems rather free with the banstick these days. I can understand the more.....graphic names being disallowed, but it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Waaaaaaay too pc.
I'm the one who couldn't name a pet warthog Anklebiter. Three years ago, I took a warthog through the entire Prophecies campaign - named Anklebiter. He was a mean little piggie! So when I tried to name a new one after his/her esteemed ancestor, I was shocked that the name "contained disallowed" parts. No way I tried to spell (Ankle Biter, Anklebiter, Anklebite, etc) was allowed. Something tells me my son's old beloved lizard Fitzlicker (an inside joke amongst friends here) would be smacked with the banstick now.

I've just had some little TW*T report me & got banned for 72 hours... on a char I've had for 2 years!!! (Sum Yung Tart)
It's beyond a joke ANET you ban on the say so of some little A hole... probably the same little a hole that start all the QQ threads around here.
Hello Mike,
Thank you very much for contacting the PlayNC Customer Support Team.
I have received your account details and information on the incident, and I will forward your appeal to the team that investigated your account and the violation of our rules and enforced the account block. You will be contacted again as soon as possible with more details regarding this issue.
Please note that you will not have to delete your character but will be prompted to change the name when you log in after the ban has expired.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this matter.
Regards,
GM Beryl
So still banned but can change name. People should be told to change the name FIRST then banned if they don't!

I dont see how this is offensive in any way at all... yea I can't see a thing wrong with that.
On topic... I haven't been banned yet, but I got a name that might get me banned come new years Me and some guildies are guna do something in GToB that night just for fun, and it might get us busted

If you want a 3 day holiday go ahead but if like me you enjoy playing GW remember it only takes 1 little git to ruin your day.
I feel like reporting any slightly funny name once i get back in but then i would have to bring myself down to their level

Also, given a faux "Asian" name of "Sum Yung Guy" used as a joke I've heard before, I think the Sum Yung part can be seen as mocking East Asian names (though Sum is not a surname as far as I can tell)... however I can just as easily see it as a decision just to spell "Some Young" differently. Of course, keep in mind this can go both ways. I had a student in China who was a bit of a class clown, naming himself George and referring to himself as George W. Bush. A teacher got tired of it and forced him to change his English name to Ben, which is the romanization of the Chinese word for foolish or stupid.
Still, seeing that I have a monk whose name is a variation of "Naughty Nurses," I don't know how much I can cast judgment without feeling like a hypocrite there.

This thread is full of idiots.
Nobody is laughing about your pathetic name you chose. It only shows that you're an attention seeking kid.
"lololol look at my name! look! look! its dick seamen!!!11 looooolaoksmlakmaimafaggot"

I flew under the ban radar for 11 months, long enough to get LDoA and make it to EOTN, when I refused to heal for a Norn point group the person that asked me reported me for my name. This creates a dilemma, ANY name can be considered offensive and get you reported, just because you piss someone off they can report you for your name. I could say /report John Doe and say that a man named John Doe murdered my family so I'm offended.

Also, would you like to heal for my norn point group? If you refuse, I will report your name and you shall have 11 months of ban.
Oh I forgot, Cant_fix_retarted murdered my family so I'm offended. You'll get banned right?

Why would I get my feelings hurt by someone who sits on their fat welfare collecting asses all day stuffing his face with Cheetos and trolling GW threads? I wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire. As far as my grammar, it is fine next time you get your welfare check buy a dictionary. I'm still waiting on my ban, or perhaps you would like to come to my guild hall and scrimmage me so you can learn some humility and I can post a video of it here.

"who sits on their fat welfare collecting asses all day stuffing his face with Cheetos and trolling GW threads?"
I have no idea what you're talking about because I have never done that. Judging by your assumption, we can assume this applies to your fail life.
"guild hall and scrimmage me so you can learn some humility and I can post a video of it here"
Lmao. See, this is why you have a life that fails. Wouldn't it be great if everything was solved via PvP? E-peens are only virtual. Remember that, kid.

Id piss on forgotten if he was on fire. (I got your back forgotten) In fact, id piss on him even if he wasnt.
And how dare you make such a bold accusation by claiming that he is on welfare and likes Cheetos. Did you ever stop to think that maybe Forgotten is a 12 year old kid and is too young for welfare? Probably not. Well judging by the remedial sarcasm and the juvenile rebuttals, it would probably be a safe assumption.
And also how dare you generalize us Cheetos lovers? I own my house and i have 2 cars that are all paid off. I don't collect welfare and i make 6 figures a year before taxes, and I also love Cheetos. So as a fan of those delicious little cheesy fingers of goodness, i take offense to your stereotypical categorization of people who like to eat these delightful little snacks.

lol...I think that was me. QQ moar...your name is offensive because it parodies asians and infers that many, if not all, asian girls are promiscuous.
I like reporting offensive names then seeing them hop on here crying that their immaturity was pimp-slapped. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Honestly, if you can't come up with a mature, intelligent name, and instead have to resort to 3rd grade toilet humor and childish puns...you deserve to get banned.

This is the #1 thing i detest about society today. It seems people dont have anything else to do other than get offended over stupid stuff, not minding their own damn business, or just simply "shit in other peoples cereal".
None of these names cause any pain to you. If you get offended so easily, then i pity your thin skinned sense of self worth.

See, the thing I detest about society today is that people feel they have the right to be jackasses, can get away with it without fear of any repercussion, and cannot take responsibility for their own actions. I'll say that I'm not offended at all by peoples' names. I can see the offensive nature though and that's what causes me to report, because when people are allowed to run rampant with their racist/offensive names, it tells them that society allows them to be an ignorant waste of life.
Grow up, choose a character name that isn't just some immature attempt at drawing more than your fair share of attention, and move on.

I myself am far from "wasting my life" as you so aptly put. Im just as successful as i want to be, i have a family that i provide for and i LOVE offensive humor. Bottom line is, Im happy with who i am and have no regrets about what i find is funny.
Unfortunately i have to be weary of people like you who will take any opportunity to pose judgment or consequence upon another individual just to satisfy their want for having some kind of power over another. Because when it boils down to it, that's all it is.
If you aren't offended by it then you do it to flex some sort of authority muscle.
here is the 3 reasons i have noticed that a person will mind someone elses business.
1. Person was offended (fair enough even though most people go out of their way to be offended easily)
2. Righteous Indignation (self appointed regulator of right and wrong)
3. Pure spite (you were not nice to me so I /report you)
