Apparantly "Poo Chunkin Monkey" somehow crossed their imaginary line. Personally, i thought it was rather tame. Not to mention, I've had the character for months. Either way, 60 hours for that seems quite a bit excessive, maybe its just me.
In a way I am kinda glad though....I needed SOMETHING to break my addiction. Just kind of suprised me at how nazi their censors are.
Banned for inappropriate name

look on the bright side, u have a chance to select a decent name now

How is that NOT offensive? Basically it is "Poop tossing monkey" which, although a natural idiocy that monkeys do, is offensive to some.
And like slowerpoke said, you get a decent name now.
-personally hate names that are not names that can be seen as a real name (i.e., I hate "Monk Healz For U" and whatnot)-

It amazes me how harmless some people think what they do is. They don't think some young person might see it and then mimic it in real life in front of others. What may seem funny to you is not funny or appropriate to others. Perhaps the OP should question him/herself of the subject matter.

I just want to point and laugh at your name, not that its funny but who wants to be a poo chuckin monkey? its a sad sad thing, you know why the monkey do that? because of stupid human taunting them in their cage, no other reason.
however this is what i want to ask:
ban? did they not ask you to change it before you can use that character? if they ban and let you play again using that name you're probably banned for something else.

Sonya I don't think any young player that is legally allowed to play this game would toss their poop like a monkey. 13 year olds aren't 8.

I got banned for having the name Explicit Sadist...
[sadist's signet] ?!
Is explicit really a bannable word? It's all the sensitive 40 year old carebears with stupid names like "Kathy Ishmakodikidori" that are reporting ridiculous unoffensive names like this. They run amok on Guild Wars.
I heard someone on here get banned for having the name Brawling Headbutt too, omfgiamsooffendedbanplz. How CLUELESS.

Why is it that children always think they're inappropriate names are not only appropriate, but also hilarious?
Buy some clue. They arent funny, you deserve your ban.

This is a lol on so many levels:
1) The name is terrible. If you're going to get banned for something, at least make it memorable.
2) The name is, indeed, well below any reasonable ban threshold. (Reasonable punishment: make you change the name.) The problem isn't that the cutline is imaginary; it's that it isn't clearly defined. But that's to be expected when it's clear that the definition of "bannable" is "Once I have this /report in my hands regarding your name, is that /report justifiable in any way, shape or form?"
3) You have difficulty putting this game down at this point?
4) You feel the need to compare the censors to Nazis. That insults both the ethics of the censors and the intellect of the Nazis at the same time!

So you got banned and wants to cry here? It's pointless imo, 'cause I know some people just like to report for no apparent reasons, the report system NEEDs to be fixed imo.

Some people might wanna take a look at what they are saying. There is a point where insulting people for the fun of it backfires and makes you look like a failure.
At OP: I'm pretty sure Anet just bans if someone reports about you're name if its in any way slightly vulgar. I doubt they check every report they get every day. Don't bother emailing about it just take a break ae.

is this a repeat offense? increasing penalties for repeat offenses. besides, it's a horrible name, get over it.

To all the carebears whining about offensive names - there are already offensive names in the game on NPCs - Shagu and Bendah, oh and dont forget those seamen in sticky operation. I dont see 'Poo Chunkin Monkey' as offensive, if you think it is then you should start petitioning for role playing channels / servers where people are expected to have real names only.
I still have my Mesmer 'D is for Lysdexia', and my monk 'Dizzy Monk Monk'. Neither of them are role playing realistic names, but there is nothing offensive about them. Poo isnt offensive either, hey, theres a childrens cartoon character by that very name, I believe its a yellow bear called Poo that loves his sweet honey. Everything can be rude if you have a brain full of poo.

Some people (idiots) like to report any name that could be interpreted inappropriately just so you get banned. They're idiots.
It is a stupid name though.

I guess I will say it again, it seems that someone is always offended by something whether it be really offensive or not. Allowing players to choose what they believe to be offensive (or the player being just plan vindictive) is asking for trouble.
In the future the only real way to get around this would be to just give characters numbers so that no names could ever offend anyone.

I wasn't aware that poo was an offensive word, but i agree the name is kinda stupid, at least that's my opinion

It's frustrating because you know they aren't actually offended, they are just trying to get you banned. The report function is the most horrid idea, I would rather put up with leavers than the people who abuse the /report.

Ya know. This is a game. There is no roleplaying involved so there is no need to have a realistic name. Its just a handle. A tag. An identification. If he wants his charcater to be called "Poo Chunkin Monkey" then thats his business. It gave me a chuckle. Silly yes. Over the line no. For all i know his other characters are 'Dwwunknn Monkey' and 'The Evil Monkey' and its just a trend. For you people claiming mature? Is there not a certain, tolerance and wisdom that comes with maturity? To fully be aware of your actions and possible consequences? A wisdom that says its good to not be a tightass all the damn time? Whats wrong with having a silly name? Nothing. Nothing at all.
The fact here is he thought it was an acceptable name. So the question should be is it offensive. The answer is clearly no, but some moron at Anet disagrees.
And its unforunate for you Azure that Ra Nger can be be see a racial slur. Yes if you read if it says ranger but if you pronounce Nger, you'll find its clear. Offensive maybe, judgement call really.

OP here.....
I'm 26 and active duty air force......if you want to see a child perhaps you should do some thorough self-examination.
Nope, been playing for just over 2 years and I've never had so much as a warning about anything.....ever. I keep to my own, rarely PvP (never on that character). All I ever did was solo farm on that particular character (Perma Sin) which is why i cared so little about a name. Out of nowhere i'm hit with the ban stick.....seems.....inappropriate.
EDIT: I have been reported before however. I brought a 55 necro into RA, and the entire enemy team /reported me for leeching because they couldn't kill me. I did it again the next round (we lost of course) and the same guy that got the others to /report me got his new team to /report me. I got dishonorable for it. Poor sports, nothing else....and i actually DID contribute to the team both rounds. I was using SV on their melee guys and actually killed a couple.
Wow......you're stupid. You realistically expect people to believe that it's even remotely possible that some kid will see a character in an outpost called poo chunkin monkey, and be "moved" enough by the name to throw their own feces? Well gosh, i never thought about it like that........probably because that's a stupid thought.
Do your arms ever get tired of all that tree hugging?
In fairness to all parties, my statement was a bit much. For one, the guys at Anet are nothing even close to nazis........and two, you know the germans would run an awesome server. In the words of that guy from all the "Sham-Wow" commericals, "You KNOW the germans make nice stuff!".
I agree completely. If I had even the remotest concern that it could be banned, I'd have gone with something much much much more ban worthy.
As for all the "its a stupid name comment".....no surprise here, i knew it was stupid.
As for being upset, don't misunderstand the post, I am not whining about my ban, I just can't believe that they believe that a name like that was offensive enough to deserve a ban.

Name is stupid, but not offensive. Whoever reported it is kind of stupid that is offensive.

I'm surprised at what people find offensive. An adult should be able to ignore attention-whores and go about his business.
