Hey, so I dont know if this should go in blogs or not so sorry if it is in the wrong place.
So when you first create a SC2 profile the first thing they ask you for is your profile name. I have always used Mrfred as my main username for various things, but for some reason I couldn't use it as the profile name. Anyway my friend said I should be able to use it and then when he got his beta key he tried any name beginning with the letters "mr" and all of them were blocked.
Why would blizzard not allow anyone to create a profile with the first letters being mr and does anyone have any other cool suggestions for names I can use?

. probably is an illegal character
interesting if they really are blocking things starting with mr i can't see why they would.

Probably for the same reason you can't type "trans" into bnet chat lol? I feel like whoever is in charge of the filtering needs to get with the program.

Because Mr is a title. You can't use Lord or anything like that either.

I wonder if it catches L0rd or things like that. I wonder who's job it is to come up with the list of things that can't be in names and such.

You can't put numbers or symbols in names. The best you could do is like iord (capital "i") or something, that would probably get around it.

I wonder if you can do Ms or Mrs then we can call blizzard sexist.

I couldn't use Wyoming as my identifier. Yellowstone worked fine.

According to Mike Morhaime, you'll be able to unlock titles like Mr for your username with DLC esports microtransactions Web 2.0 net neutrality.

Not to mention the word "backdoor" lol. I feel like they should know what some RTS language is before they decide to censor it.
