But it's part of his real fucking name, while we are at it let's ban Jaehoons/hyuks name because someone find an eventual NSFW meaning in it.. Dong being banned is plainstupid, especially when it doesnt stand alone, | ||

Pretty sure that Sun wasn't always Rain (ugh) and JD used to be registered as Jaedong at some point. But maybe I just wasn't paying attention. | ||

Wiki's source for that is the article: "The Clbuttic Mistake: When obscenity filters go wrong President Abraham Lincoln was buttbuttinated by an armed buttailant after a life devoted to the reform of the US consbreastution." Buttbuttinate might be the funniest sounding word ever, even more so than pumperknickel or kumquat. My sides hurt because I can't stop laughing. | ||

It takes 2 seconds to check if jaedong is actually banned. http://sc2ranks.com/search/contains/all/bong http://sc2ranks.com/search/contains/all/dong Nestea said he chose his id because he had a can of nestea sitting on his desk at the time. (Makes me wonder if he chose ZergBong the same way). | ||

my god.. just because you recently saw them using coLMVPDRG and TheEightJD, you assume that blizzard banned the term dong from ids? Instead of checking/verifying this, you make a petition and thread to criticize blizzard for something not even true? They most likely abbreviate their names to JD and DRG because of the max character limit (12 i think). They want to include their team name in their name and obviously coLMVPDongRaeGu or TeamEightJaeDong is too long. http://sc2ranks.com/search/contains/all/jaedong http://sc2ranks.com/search/contains/all/dong http://sc2ranks.com/eu/3057994/DongRaeGu http://sc2ranks.com/search/contains/all/bong http://sc2ranks.com/eu/1065007/ZergBong | ||

And GOM also says The 8th Team instead of Team 8. Well perhaps in Korean it's the 8th team tho, but I had never heard it this way before WCS. | ||
