I made a character with the name arseface buttongue.
I was under the impression that as long as you could get it past the filter when creating the character it was acceptable but apparently this is not the case.
I will be able to rejoin the game in approximately 71 hours. For some retarded reason they feel the need to temp ban you.
What happens now?
How does this work by the way? Does some silly person report me and then get me banned or do they screen names like nannies?

Don't break the rules.
Don't insult the guy who reported you for breaking the rules. That's like insulting the cop for pulling you over for speeding. It's your own fault.
The filter obviously can't catch EVERYTHING in EVERY language that is offensive.
After the ban is over, when you log back on, you will be forced to rename the character. Every item you had will still work and you won't lose anything, except the name.

When you log back in, before you can play your character again you have to rename him. You also most likely got reported by another player.
You also should have seen this coming, I don't know how you could logically expect to not be banned. I mean, have you not seen tons of people post this exact same thread of being banned for their names well after character creation?

While your waiting, take a few minutes to read up on the EULA. You may find it quite informative. Once the 72 hours is up, you won't be able to log-in until you change that character's name.

Why would you want to name your char that anyway? I wouldnt want people to think my face looks anything like an...arse.

You know what you did wrong get over it, lol.

Really?
REALLY?!
You didn't think that
Arse face butt tounge
wasn't offensive in any way at all?

What Now
I was told they looked into names but I doubt it, either way I got half my guild banned so I know that /report is definitely far more effective and quickly reacted to than waiting til they catch on.
It's a game, it's a name, trying to be sneaky and inappropriate to bypass a filter when there really are kids playing is a bit immature so why expect mercy?

T=Teen (14+, 16+) Most games.
M=Mature (17+, 18+) More violent games
Ao=Adults Only (21+) Adult games and especially gory ones.

Edit: scratch that....Manhunt was only rated "M"
That's frigging hilarious.

I F Y O U S P A C E E A C H L E T T E R O U T in a name, it will bypass the censor when creating a character. So by your logic I could use ANY word and just put spaces between each letter to bypass the censor and not have to worry about a ban. Think of it this way... Arse is the same as Ass by most standards. Can you make a name with Ass in it? If not, then any synonym would be bannable as well.

They're not rated T for language. They are for violence, (mild) suggestive themes, and use of alcohol.

A lot of you seem to be mistaken at where my frustration is. I don't give a damn about my character being renamed because I used the horrible ass word. I am annoyed that this being my first offence after I don't know, 5 years of playtime that I would at least be given the chance to either rename or delete the character and be done with it. A 3 day temp ban is nothing more than an annoying inconvenience especially in the middle of a weekend.
I also love the hypocrisy on NCSofts part, feel free to brutally slay other people in any number of ways, but don't use nasty evil words related to human anatomy. That is just sick and deserves a ban.
Its kind of funny that multiple times during the game, notably in the charr area of eye of the north and factions are inapropriate and otherwise offensive remarks are made by various NPCs not including what someone else pointed out above. Hit up guild wiki npc quotes if you dont know what I am talking about.
Yes you can make a name with ass in it, I just tried it.
I wasnt trying to bypass the filter or be sneaky, I wrote arseface butttongue. I ask myself why allow two words like arse and butt if they are bannable as references to anatomy when they only have one use. Its bull.

It doesn't matter if this is your first time or not. They aren't going to go easy on you because you've been a good soldier for 5 years.
When you signed up to play the game, you agreed to the rules. You broke those rules, you have to pay the consequence. There is no way around it. Next time, read the rules and you won't have to worry about this kind of thing.

And there's no point in QQ'ing about it here. It won't change a thing on your ban or the system Anet uses for banning people with inappropriate names.

Oh, noes! Not a 3 day ban! Whatever will you do with yourself? Remember that place, outside? Trying going there and breaking a law.
How could you be arrogant enough to think that, just because you're a 'loyal' player, you're immune to the rules that everyone else has to play by?

I think we're all missing the point OP is trying to make.
Yes his name was childish and did deserve a ban, a lot of names don't due to content that is already in the game.
There are a few quotes on factions about "Making in pants", but guaranteed if you made a name like "I made in pants" you would get banned, which is what OP is trying to say.
But no, if you can get it passed word filter does not mean it is acceptable, if I'm not mistaken the letter "G" stand-alone can not be spelled due to names like "G Unit", which makes some names even impossible.
Posts like the one above don't have much to contribute here.

The letter "G" can't be used alone because they don't want people to have names like "G M Regina" and pretend to be GMs and scam players.
The OP will get no sympathy here, and is clearly full of himself. Don't give me this crap about "content in the game uses certain words." Those words are used in context. Here, his name is just a string of profanity and is completely childish.

Q&A isn't for arguing about Arenanet's policies. Closed because the original question was answered.
