Another problem that no one seemed to address is where should blizzard then draw the line if they allowed names such as dopeman to exist? It's obvious names such as fuck.you or any racial slurs deserved to be banned. The policy may be strict but that's the way I think it should be. Not because they are trying to 'keep the children safe' or maintain face but because people online will CONSTANTLY push the boundaries of any rules that you set.

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.

I fail to see why drugman would be considered wrong whatsoever. 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 don't find dopeman to be an offensive name, really, but I am glad to see that blizzard is active in monitoring this sort of stuff.

On some level I can agree - I'm glad it looks like battle.net won't be a cesspool for the most ignorant people to spam bullcrap

I guess making the name "Bear Semen" won't be very well received.

why cant people just learn to not use even questionably offensive type names? beta access is a privilege not a right.

I don't find 'dopeman' to be in the least bit offensive but I do think it's a good idea only if the name contains vulgarity.

One of my teacher's last name in high school was Dopeman. So... I really don't find that name offensive. Sorry to hear that happened to you. Anyways, beta will be over soon :p... just wait for the real game to come out. :D

Silly policy.

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.

they should ban him its a childish name.

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.

this thread is just stupid

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

I've got no problem with the policy of withdrawing a tester's access to the beta on account of having a "highly inappropriate" name. Infact, I wholeheartedly support the policy.

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.

Blizzard is redoing the whole "adult rating" in korea though, this might be because of that
