![]() 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 Account Support | ||

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. | ||

Here's the 2008 versiom, but it's been around since 2005 snip ..... In particular, you may not use any name:
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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
