EPTHow the hell can they do this? Not even being given a warning or a reasoning behind it?

If dopeman is ok shouldn't drugman be ok? Drugman may not even refer to illegal drugs it could be a name someone who works in a pharmacy likes. Rxman in my opinion is an acceptable ID to have while Drugman is not. Give someone an inch and they'll take a whole mile. The questioning of such language censors on a game with 'killing' and 'light drug usage' is a strong argument to have but as I previously stated they have to draw the line somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if there was cursing during the campaign. Such as Raynor saying 'Damn'. This however doesn't mean that Damn.Damn is an appropriate name to have. It's wrong that they banned you from beta and it's likely that instead of banning you post release you'll probably get notified of a name change. And as I previously stated, you probably fucked up somewhere and BMed the wrong person who then reported you. Blizzard isn't just looking for excuses to ban people from their beta. | ||

And just because people might "push the line," doesn't mean you should make it that much more strict. That's a terrible argument. If I was a pharmacist I would name myself drugman hands down. | ||

I think they should let people have any name they like. Even if its really offensive or racist. People need to get over it. And before anyone says I dont understand, my heritage is one that is commonly made fun of on television and blamed for wars, banking crises, etc. Also @ the 4chan comments. I frequented 4chan long ago when I was still in high school and honestly it does change your perspective on this sort of thing. But maybe the other people will join in and say that it's relieving to not get worked over stuff that doesnt matter. Yes blizzard can ban him for the name, but that doesnt mean they should. | ||

its not about being offended its about creating a respectful environment. there is NO reason to create a juvenile name other than going "teehee my name is xxx" make a real ID and get over it. | ||

your name is blatantly and obviously against the TOS which you agreed to, that's the end of the story no argument you can come up with matters with that in mind. it's a beta, you shouldn't expect to be given any second chances when you're not paying anything | ||

However, for the life of me, I can't see how the name "Dopeman" is "highly inappropriate". Perhaps mildly dodgy, but no more than that. A warning or forced rename would have been a much more appropriate response in this particular case. | ||
