Only old people refer to dope as weed....dope is heroine...so I can see where they are going but I disagree with any kind of censorship. It is also a little late and useless to be trying to protect kids who are being bombarded with language, sex, and violence on a daly basis from school, television, and internet.

Ya this happened to me already. I was using a key named "mySTDhurts" and they said it was high inappropriate. I just hope they don't see my other username which is way worse than that one Keep trying blizzard, I'm going to make it to may 31!!!!! WOOOO

Here is the message I received:
Character Name: MySTDhurts#chunkybuddha


The character name being used for the StarCraft II character on this account has been determined to be highly inappropriate. As a result, beta access for StarCraft II is being revoked from the account. Please keep in mind that the purpose of the beta is to gather data to help improve and polish the game. Beta testing access is considered a privilege and access can be terminated under the discretion of Blizzard Entertainment at any time.

This will not affect your access to the retail release version of StarCraft II.

Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.

Blizzard built the system, therefore they have & will always set the rules within it. If you do not like their 'totalitarian' system (or strict stance on names) then you are free to play another RTS so don't dis-pare as I'm sure one other will allows offensive names. I for one do not find it beyond blizz's right to filter out certain names as it helps clear up the system.

You may notice in your beginning post that you used language that steered towards to your side by giving incorrect wording.

No where in the italics (assuming that is Blizz's message), does the word offense, offensive or any other forms be used.

Dopeman does not offend people. The reason why you were revoked is because younger kids (well, not that much younger) are part of the Starcraft II pool and names like Dopeman does not help discourage the usage of drugs.

We want an environment that is friendly and healthy. Therefore, though I dont' find it "offensive as your poll asks," I agree that Blizzard should take such actions, though simply revoking your beta seems unnecessary, just delete the character like the game resets do.

Though this shows a good precedent to not make names relating to drugs, sex, alcohol (which is a drug...) and whatnot.

Edit:

And yeah, by making sure your account's name is appropriate is totally restrictive of rights, and TOTALLY tolatarian. That evil company, how could they do that to us. We should have the freedom to make names like Totallyfullofdick and sexisbetterthanschool because it's sooo cool. I mean, first the language filter and then this? Where will it end? Maybe they won't even let us rush the opponents as it can be too distressing if the enemy loses!

And yes, sarcasm...

Second Edit: And it really feels like this thread is just a place to complain about losing your privilege for something stupid. You say you are glad you got the chance and aren't annoyed but I really have something that tells me you're not completely truthful.
Cold wind, chilling.

Blizzard's rules on user names are not new. Millions of us worldwide agreed to their user names code of conduct when we clicked agreed for the EULA and Terms of Service for our WoW accounts.

Here's the 2008 versiom, but it's been around since 2005


snip
..... In particular, you may not use any name:
  • (i) Belonging to another person with the intent to impersonate that person, including without limitation a "Game Master" or any other employee or agent of Blizzard;
  • (ii) That incorporates vulgar language or which are otherwise offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
  • (iii) Subject to the rights of any other person or entity without written authorization from that person or entity;
  • (iv) That belongs to a popular culture figure, celebrity, or media personality;
  • (v) That is, contains, or is substantially similar to a trademark or service mark, whether registered or not;
  • (vi) Belonging to any religious figure or deity;
  • (vii) Taken from Blizzard's Warcraft products, including character names from the Warcraft series of novels;
  • (viii) Related to drugs, sex, alcohol, or criminal activity;
  • (ix) Comprised of partial or complete sentence (e.g., "Inyourface", "Welovebeef", etc);
  • (x) Comprised of gibberish (e.g., "Asdfasdf", "Jjxccm", "Hvlldrm");
  • (xi) Referring to pop culture icons or personas (e.g. " "Britneyspears", "Austinpowers", "Batman")
  • (xii) That utilizes "Leet" or "Dudespeak" (e.g., "Roflcopter", "xxnewbxx", "Roxxoryou")
  • (xiii) That incorporates titles. For purposes of this subsection, "titles" shall include without limitation 'rank' titles (e.g. , "CorporalTed," or "GeneralVlad"), monarchistic or fantasy titles (e.g., "KingMike", "LordSanchez"), and religious titles (e.g., "ThePope," or "Reverend Al").


You may not use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the name restrictions listed above, nor can you have a "first" and "last" name that, when combined, violate the above name restrictions.


I imagine we'll all have to agree to something similar for SC2 on Battle.net. However, 99% of the time wow players were asked to change their name and weren't even suspended, and some got away with it if their character names were borderline and amusing.

Remember: ALWAYS read the small print, and ignorance is no defence in law.

I hope they're not going to revoke your $60 if you have a name that some Blizz employee deems "inappropriate"

Wow leave it to America to even sensor our video games further. I think this is taking a step in the direction of making the game accessible to everyone no matter the age, but even in WoW they made you change your name a million times! Even younger kids play that game as well--and oh boy what they read in trade chat....

Their word filter IS increadibly strict, to the point of silliness.

On the other hand, since "dopeman" might as well be "weedman", referring of course to illegal (in most countries) drugs... obviously, it's "offensive" Not like, insulting offensive, but.. Offensive to those that have issues with drugs and, more importantly, drug culture... So there you go.

I voted mildly. I can see how the name could be construed as offensive, although it is a little bit extreme. I don't really have a problem with the policy, think they just should have handled it differently.

Can't they just make you change your name? i.e. You can't login until you've changed it and they give you some way of changing it.

I guess this is a beta, and in the retail release I'm sure a system like that will be introduced.
