Someone must have been envious about your Big Natural Titties and so reported you.

In general, when you have to use a different, similar looking, letter to avoid the word filter your name is likely to get you banned.
cataphract
So, the word "tit" is a bad word?
Lycan Nibbler
You know what you were trying to put and the fact that you had to use a diff. letter should have given you a clue.

Lol.
Yes, tits are bad for 13 year old kids that play this game, apparently. Much like the concepts of sacrifice and torture (c what I did thar?)

big natural birds. Nothing wrong with that.
Blue Footed Booby would also get you in trouble for the name as well I presume.

The OP's a mook, forget about it. Can someone post an epic boobs pic so this thread can be complete?

In before the lock!
Personally yes, I'd report the OP for being a big, natural, tit.

And yeah you probably got banned because it was a male character.

Well, if I saw a name like that, I would report it right away.
Not because it offends me, nor that I am a care bear, but Anet has banned me twice for innapropriate names and I want my own back.
If I cant do it, then other people cant either. And they get a /banhammer, just like I did =D

As much as I like to consider myself as supreme overlord of Riverside when it comes to trolling, there are good trolls (the various post histories of ATC, for example) and bad trolls, which is this guy. Although I can't suggest a ban, because that's telling mods what to do, I'm sure a guy like this won't be around for long on Guru, so we should make the most of it.

Hi all,
I created a prema-pre character over a year ago named "Ruriks Biotch" that is now LVL 19 and 2000xp away from LDOA. Last night (in the middle of a death level no less) I was banned for 64 hours "to give me time to think about my transgression".
Seems a bit harsh to me. Do most of you find the term "Biotch" offensive enough to warrant a ban? Granted it is just slang for "bitch" which would be offensive, but using terms like FCUK for that other four letter word still says what it says, but I have seen it on Guild names and such.
My other issue is banning me without notice. I mean, if A-Net would have simply disabled my account, told me it was offensive and asked me to change it I would have. Then, if I didnt change it, they can ban me. That is just plain rude.
So, just wanted to see... is it offensive to the user community in general or is A-net being unreasonable?
Thanks,
dave

Is it offensive to me?
Nope.
Is it mostly likely offensive per their rules?
Yep. (and so are the other examples you mentioned)

It is a censor bypass. Of course it is offesive. If you wouldn't be allowed to use Bitch, why be allowed to use Biotch? You weren't permanently banned, just temporarily. At the end of that ban period, you will be made to rename the character. All title progression on your LDoA will still be there. Stop trying to do what you know isn't allowed, and the bans won't happen.
oracle.delphi
offensive? i dunno maybe to some people. Personally it takes alot to offend me so I'm probably not the best gauge here. But there are rules about profanity and biotch is just a cleverly disguised version of "bitch" as you pointed out. So you broke the rules, resulting in a ban. Simple.
And most likely you will be asked to change the name. As i understand such things, thats how it usually works.

Thanks for the replies. I do agree that I was being creative on the "Biotch" but figured since it was allowed when I created it (and other names have not been) that it was accepted and acceptable. Its all good. I have asked for Leniency with Anet based on their reply and will change it immediately. 64 hours sure seems to be a long ban. I mean 24 hours allows me to realize the error of my ways especially when I play a LOT :-).
Thanks again, I stand embarrassed :-) I will change it to Ruriks Female Dog ! <grin>
Cheers,
dave

Interesting....

people today are to soft.

Its not offensive to me. but if its against anets rules to have the word bitch, do it make your epeen feel better using biotch instead? Your asking for it and everyone who reads this knows it. Plus anet dont have to do shit about warning you, its THEIR account it says so in the rules. They can do whatever the hell they please
mastar of warrior
that is probably someone who wants to make ppl pissed that reported you
*goes on reporting spree*

Offensive not really to me, an obvious attempt to bypass in place chat/name filter guidelines yes.

LOL - Good one! Gotta love people with a sense of humor...
Oh wait, you dont qualify. Never mind
Phaern Majes
Heh I'd just argue with them that you meant to use the name Biotech, but at the time of creation it was in use Really it would be an honest mistake....
Miska Bow
I would go ahead and name my toon this way, then come back here in a few hours to QQ about being ban.
Junior Gong
I wasn't personally offended by your name but I figured that if you have spent that much time in pre getting to level 20 you could probably use a 3 day break from Guild Wars so thats why I reported you.
zelgadissan
^ lol.
I got a 72 hour ban for Bunghole Mcgee a couple months back after using him for over a year - yet I see some names that would clearly be offensive but don't get banned. After I was banned, I went on a massive reporting spree. At the time, I probably would have reported a name like that.
Now I grew a pair and don't care anymore.
