I mean, pot abuse is less harmful than alcohol abuse, however, I'm sure someone with an alcohol related name would be left alone. To state that the name is offensive is just plain ignorant (unless of course, drugs such as alcohol, or caffeine are offensive to you as well). Ironically I'm sure a lot of people that claim it as "offensive" consume alcohol at least once in a while or at least accept that people around them do; which in its own is hypocritical. I understand the argument about it being illegal being in violation of the TOS, however if they are going to take the approach that illegal things are inappropriate, enforce this policy on any name that has any sort of tie to illegal activity. I also understand that blizzard does not want to step on people's toes on this subject. The average person is incredibly ignorant when it comes to understanding drugs; so people blindly associate illegal drugs with being really bad, while accepting things in our society that are significantly worse for us. But really, if they are going to be so strict about drug related names, change stim packs to something else >.< I second QueueQueue's opinion portrayed in his post on this subject. | ||

Isn't starcraft rated Teen? Have you heard the words teens use these days in their speech? How can dopeman be offensive in any way. I understand that this is beta, and access to it is provided "as is" with all rights reserved by Blizzard, but when I pay money for the actual game, I expect to not be banned outright for a silly name. | ||

(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"). All these rules are utterly retarded.  DO YOU REALIZE BY.FLASH WOULD BE BANNED ? omg omg omg | ||

Anyway, there have been a few cases where this policy was enforced where it wasn't warranted, but by and large it's a good idea. I can't possibly fathom how you could choose a name like "Dopeman" and not expect someone to take exception. If you want to pick a fight about society's understanding of Marijuana, there are other (and better) avenues to do so. All these rules are utterly retarded. They're the same rules that Blizzard has been using for years. This isn't something they just whipped up yesterday. | ||

Reference to illegal activities can be construed as an inappropriate name, end of story. Your opinions on weed as an illegal substance are completely irrelevant. | ||

If another player has the filter on it protects them from the word. Why doesn't it just filter usernames as well? %*&$man. You can disable the chat filter from options. | ||
