You guys are implying that they did not get complaints. I mean yeah, they probably did not and it's probably Blizzard (Activision) being politically correct; but do you know a for a fact that these words were not reported to Blizzard by someone offended?

It was probably just a program that done it. I'm sure they have one to detect troll maps and such.

LOL, right. Since they are definitely one of the best at making money, which is their job.

Hey Rodrigo, thanks for posting. We're actually in the process of investigating the ban already; it looks like you also contacted our support department about it, which was the right move. Someone will be contacting you soon regarding the issue.

I wanted to point out though that the reports we received for the words included in the map’s dictionary were fairly vast, and clearly offensive in most cases. The one quoted in the reason for the ban was the least offensive. In any case, please wait for the customer service contact and they’ll work with you on republishing and any changes we’d require.

On that note, forum posts aren’t the right place to dispute a ban. We want to make sure that anyone looking to do so please use the correct forms of contact so we can address any requests as quickly as possible. The support web form is the correct place: http://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml

You can strip Emma Watson on Bnet, but can't have a game that may say dyke in it.


yeah come to think of it, compared to all those strip maps from brood wars, 'dyke' is nothing. And honestly, I'm glad I found out how to turn off those chat censors cuz I was starting to get pissed at how it felt like I was playing Runescape again

This is such *facepalm* it's not even funny. They should have given the guy a chance to update/tweak his map before outright banning it.

I'm wondering who complained about it, b/c removing a popular map for PC reasons is one helluva slippery slope.
With no power comes no responsibility?

Wow come the fuck on, I was worried Blizz was becoming more and more like Nintendo (arbitrarily sticks to their shitty, isolated online gaming service despite customer complaints, going for the web2.0 feel), but that worry was only marginal. Now they banned a DICTIONARY based map for having offensive words? Fucking pathetic. There were fun maps in BW that involved selling drugs and killing everyone in a school (good rpg, if anyone remembers it =p), I take it those will get instabanned.

Come the fuck on, I wish they just gave the game an M rating and were done with it.

Sigh, Blizzard really needs to stop being such a carebear company. If people want to swear, be racist, sexist, etc. fine: let them do so.

You realise how fast they'd get sued if they did that?
