Today I was trying to join the channel "Nigerians" to meet up with some of my friends, but when I clicked join I noticed that the channel was not allowed! Neither was Nigeria. Nigeria is a great place and I don't know why it is banned. America isn't, Germany isn't...

Probably something Blizz didn't think of when they blocked "niger".

Not sure if trolling, but they probably filter "nig(g)er" and variations of it.
