Fucking stupid, that game is so unique and more enjoyable than most of the custom games and I don't think anyone is getting offended by the random swear words that come about every now and then.

I doubt there was any mal-intent, hopefully the map will be up again soon.

The dictionary is a very offensive book.

Although I am totally against blizzard banning this based on 'inappropriate language' in a game with a word pool from a dictionary - I will note that it was not only the word 'dyke' that came up in the game. Playing it myself after the update, I also encountered 'cock, tit, and even cunt'. The first two I can reason. The last one i'm not so sure.

Blizzard should have requested a fix on the game, not banned-without-warning. That's ridiculous.

One could say, "Blizzard, why art thou playing Nexus Wars instead of balancing game?"

That person would be missing the point. I only think this was done to warn future custom map makers of staying tolerant

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

Did anyone sue them for old battle.net? So much nasty/offensive shit. Its user generated, they should not be accountable for it, the users should. This level of map moderation is just fucking annoying.

i never understood why they care so much in sc2...

isnt sc2 16+ with 'experience may change during online play"?

Why the FUCK would they care?

They can't get sued for it, just like in wc3 and bw with the porn maps, etc

I get called a faggot every other game. Blizzard should ban every other person I play.

This just sucks. NWW was so much fun, and I really hope he's allowed to re-upload the map. Sure there was some questionable language, but every online game has the tag "Experience may change during online play". It was against the TOU so I guess it's justified that way but still, some logic would be nice. I just want to know which players actually reported the map for being inappropriate. Someone who got rocked their first time playing probably.

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

In other words, don't make us look like dicks on our own forum.

Ugh... I can understand Blizzard banning wildly innapropriate maps (like the old WC3 porn maps), but banning an entire map, and all the effort put into it, just for a couple of offensive words? Not cool blizz.

Honestly, prolly 1 of maybe 3 good UMS maps... A ban is WAY overboard. Some of the words WERE offensive and made me giggle in a 10 year old sort of way, but really, a BAN??? Just let him get the offensive words out and put it right back where it belongs.

Notice that the Blizzard guy said that the forums weren't the right place for complaining. I guess they don't want faults in their system made public.

Blizzard has a language filter in game, a slight adjustment to how it works could prevent any text fields in the game, not just chat text from containing offensive language. Along with the rating of the game, and the fact that players can choose at any time to turn on a language filter, Blizzard's decision here is not only a great abuse of power through its EULA/Terms of Use but also one of laziness for not simply fixing their language filter to filter all offensive words and text appearing in custom maps.

Dude, this was an awesome map. WTF, Blizzard. I am disappoint. It was hilarifunny to spawn 10 Thors with "manifestation" or "isometronomic" above them
