Have you been banned for your name?
Basaseal
My ele got banned for the name "Hot In The Crotch". I had made the name early in 2006, funny thing was I had been Perma-banned earlier because they thought I was a bot farmer for farming bergen hot springs. When trying to get my account unbanned they asked for all my character names and that name was in the list. Never a word was mentioned to me about having an unsavory name when they unbanned my account for farming. I just changed my Ele's name to "I Was Offensive" and everything has been good since. Btw, if you send them an email or call them and complain about the ban, as long as it's undeserved they will lift the ban within an hour or so. Including 72 hour bans for offensive names.

i had a pvp monk for about a year named "Hi Oral Secks" and i'm proud that it was never banned, but i deleted him to make room for another PvE. I'm also slightly suprised that some tightass hasn't reported me for all 8 of my characters name Eatchldrn of _____, since eating children is generally frowned upon om nom nom nom

I think it would be cool if we didn't do the dissection arguments on this thread, it's entirely annoying.

I have never been banned, and it bothers me that some of these names have drawn bans. Some are just silly, but it makes no sense to me that people are forced to change because a very small minority takes something out of context. Getting banned for Hoes R For Gardens is completely ridiculous.
Messy
I was banned for 24 hrs a while back for an offensive name: Hu Flung Pooh
I was hanging out @ Droks when these 2 guys were being beyong hateful, with racial slurs, sexist and violent remarks, I had never heard anybody in the game be so extremely hateful. I was completely disgusted and told them I was going to report them. Big Mistake: don't tell people you are going to report them, just do it!! I guess they reported me back for an offensive name.
You live you learn.

On topic: Beula Ballbreaker is a name held by a character that is as of yet, NOT banned. There may be a copyright infringement here as it is a character from the movie "Porky's"...wonder how long it will last?
Personally, if I started /reporting anyone for their names, it would be for lack of originality. Every Legolas MUST go!
Fat Eskimo
well i never been banned but today in AB this person tells me "you can get suspended for that name" i mean come on..who finds Fat Eskimo offensive?
Kanyatta
Never been banned for a name, although I have had some that have been incredibly offensive, but nothing bad has ever happened (Fcuk Fidel Castro, Jigger Nim, etc.)
The only time anything has ever happened like that was when a friend and me made a guild named "Pelennor Warriors". And apparently, it's disallowed to have Lord of the Rings references in guild names... At least, that's what the e-mail said.

If Anet doesn't want people making "thunder titz" then dont make Ele's with gigantuanormousness "attributes" hanging out all over the place. "Its ok, its our game, and since sex sells, we can put sexual influences in the game, just dont follow our example, the players have to keep it clean." P.S. Im not saying "cover up all female characters!" God no, leave the tits be! Just dont be such hypocrites. |

Got banned (72 hours) for my necro "Jehovahs Waitress" She was over two years old when the ban hammer hit. Was really temped to rename her "Jehovahs Witless" but thought better of it.
Cleavage
I find myself asking..........Is Guild Wars Considerd an Adult Game ?
I sure thought it was. A game developed by perverts who design all the female characters to be slutty. Most all the armors have them half naked or more and go to the point of "sexy" in some ways. Just take off their clothes and you can see how perverted the designers are.
/dance
How many of the female characters dances are adult oriented ?
Theres a chat filter to safeguard the "Kids" from adult language.
Now lets talk about player names.
How rediculous and immature can our GM's be to ban certain player names in this game ?
How many silly names have you seen banned for no reason ?
I would really like to know some of the answers to my questions.
Please only reply if you have something mature to add to the discussion.

There seems to be somewhat of a double standard when they give Cynn a g-string, but ban people for a name with boobs in it...

I was playing Diablo2 the other day, and noticed Blizzard implemented something that bans words in names such as "F---" or Penis or wutever. For example, if you did have any offensive words in your name, the server would not create the character, and would say "Invalid User Name" or something like that.
Anet should have implemented something like that to prevent further trouble

guess what, this game is made for 13+. Says so right on the box. Btw, who do you think you are restricting a thread based on age. I'm 16, and I post where i want, thank you.
Edit- thanks for removing the age bit in the thread arkantos

And Guild Wars is rated "T". Seems like an accurate rating of the game to me.
edit: the OPs name makes this thread somewhat ironic

Besides, underwear and names are hardly in the same category.

I would consider Teens to be "Young Adults"
OK so its Rated T for Teens...
Can Teens not handle the word "Cleavage" ????

it actually does not matter what rating it has
it is game where people of all ages and all races can join in my humble opinion, and one should not behave like its in your own bed room.
that aside.
I don't see how the female characters are slutty. Its how ones behaves that make it so.

HAHA no. Guild Wars is a child friendly game. Ages 3 and up, ignore the box.
Please, if you say 'damn' in local chat or have 'explicit' in your name you get banned. This game caters to children, jehova's witnesses, and carebears alike. What a freaking JOKE.

Am i right in making a guess that someone reported ur name cleavage?
I dont see whats wrong with it, because its a statement of fact. Its like naming a character Nice Smile, nothing wrong with it.
But yes, Anet is retarded in determining whats a bad name and a good name. Back when I first started, I couldnt think of a name for a warrior. I tried O W N E A G E and the game wouldnt let me use it, saying it had innapropriate language or whatnot.

The EULA states: "(d) Character Name. In order to use the service, you must create a character and choose a name for your character to identify your character to other Members (your "Character Name"). You may not select as your Character Name the name of another person, or a name which violates any third party's trademark right, copyright, or other proprietary right, or which may mislead other players to believe you to be an employee of NC Interactive or its affiliated companies, or which NC Interactive deems at its sole discretion to be vulgar or otherwise offensive. NC Interactive reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (1) delete or alter any Character Name or (2) terminate any license granted herein, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any suspected or actual infringement of any trademark or trade name right, copyright, or other proprietary right."
Now if you notice the bold section it states that you cannot name your character anything that NC Interactive deems to be vulgar or offensive.
They seem to believe that Cleavage is inappropriate.
Their standard modus operandi is to temp ban anyone with a name deemed as such and to require you to rename the offending character after the temp ban is completed.
Does that answer your question?
Suck it up. Think of a name that won't be offensive in any way and when your ban is lifted rename your character to something less inane.

The dances are adult-oriented the same way James Bond's innuendo jokes are. The ESRB is much like the MPAA, they tend to care less about thematics and more about running down their checklist of "Did they show this body part!? Did they say this word!?"
Enforcement seems to be kind of random anyway, I never got actioned for a couple weeks of griefing Fort Aspenwood, or for having a character named "Necropedophi Ie", meanwhile some people are getting bans on their first minor screwup. Who knows.

The chat filter allows individual players the option to remove text they would rather not see, instead of simply choosing to ignore it. However, since there is no similar filter for character names, these same individuals feel the need to force the community to change because of their objections instead of simply choosing to ignore them. Even worse, people have been banned for offensive language even with the chat filter.
But what makes a report justified? From what I have seen, anyone can voice any obscure objection and have it result in a ban. Setting aside the argument of syntax and semantics, it disturbs me that a certain few can override all the others who apparently have no problems whatsoever regarding these issues.
