Is stimjunkie over the line? How about just needleabuser? It's like Rockstar banning people on Gta4 for using 'whore.' | ||

since weed is less offensive and decriminalized in certain countries, a nickname of "weedman" may have prevented your ban or chroniclover or something >< | ||

They have been used for years. It's absurd how many of you are over-reacting to violating naming conventions that have been in place since before sc2 was in alpha. | ||

This is just the beta, so the ban wasn't that big of a deal. I imagine when the game is released, they'll force you to change your name only. | ||

It's much stricter than Blizzard holds themselves to for the content of their games. Blizzard could make a more tolerant policy if they wanted to. They have a legal department. Aren't these the naming conventions for WoW characters? | ||

I played WoW for quite awhile and while names would often be reported and changed, it was never a ban or any sort of service interruption. They just said "enough people reported your name and now you should probably change it", next time you logged in. It wasn't really enforced unless it was extremely offensive with a racial slur or something. My friend leveled a character to 80 with the name "PhatCawk" and only then got it changed a few weeks after some high visibility chat. The only time you would get suspension is if you changed it from something offensive to another offensive name like 2-3 times in a row. Really not that big of a deal. | ||

The icon for stim is a freaking syringe! If they ban people for drug reference they should re do their game. I'm pretty sure Stim isn't an illegal drug. | ||

Same, I ran around with a friend's email as a screen name with a guild name as ATHOTMAIL.COM. They didn't force me to change it until my friend reported it. | ||

It actually isn't gibberish, I did a google search and turns out Pashik is actually an Armenian singer, so according to the name restrictions regulations, bylaw "xi) Referring to pop culture icons or personas (e.g. " "Britneyspears", "Austinpowers", "Batman", or "Pashik Poghosyan, Armenia's Golden Singer")" is completely banned so you better change it ASAP | ||

Looks like the username that I've been using for almost a decade violates this =( | ||
