Damn you Blizzard, why can't you just have a "Online interaction not rated" on your box ? This word filter is proving to be more and more stupid.

Is the "Online interaction not rated" exclusive to PEGI ? Is the problem caused by Korean legislation or something ?

This is fine with me. Justification is fine.

I read the title as "Nexus Wars is banned." Thank god that was wrong. This is nothing by comparison.

WC3 was a better game for custom maps, IMO......at least it wasn't censored or moderated (except for maps with viruses). Wish I could sell SC2 ;_;, I haven't played it since release much. I really love watching melee matches from pros, but I don't like playing it and I didn't enjoy the SP/customs as much as WC3 =/. The custom maps will get better over the years, though...

People keep saying that it's a permanent ban. Can someone provide proof of this? I haven't seen a shred of evidence saying this map can't be fixed and re-published.

eDit: SOO Much QQ and over-reacting. Did you guys get lost on your way to the blizzard forums?

I think Blizzard is confusing Dyke with Lesbian. Both are 2 completely different... things.

dont see why they would ban over words... again i direct you to the single player campaign where every other character swears...

and another point is nothing can be offensive in the dictionary as none of it is used in context at all.

for example "Dyke" has several meanings, none of which are offensive.Even in the most logically possibly offensive definition. If your a lesbian the term itself is not offensive, it only becomes offensive in a derogatory context.

in the english language there are truly only a few words that are offensive by themselves, which i know those werent in this map =/

I liked the other online games that had the simple disclaimer "Warning: game experience may change during online play" and after that anything goes. I really liked this map..

Online interaction is not rated

Meaning they don't have to censor anything at all

It's nice how they'll ban a map like this, but let maps like Nazi defense where you have to kill Jews and the plethora of "Strip ______ " games circulate throughout b-net 1.0 ums.

this makes me sad, banning one of the few fun ums games
blizzard is so sensitive, iirc the word 'white' is censored by the mature language filter

Man, this was one of the few custom games I actually played in-between ladder matches to take a break..

Was extremely fun and relaxing, great to just to calm down after playing some intense games.

Can't believe people would get offended by words in the dictionary. Shouldn't be able to remove one of the most popular games because a handful of people complained.
