    Only time I've ever been banned in a game for anything. Nevermind

    [edit] Well, I looked at the ToS and I don't see anything obvious. I suppose it could be loosely interpreted as falling afoul of either the "no titles or ranks" or maybe the popular culture thing. Bit of a stretch, though, IMO.

    If it's the generally "otherwise objectionable" thing, then that definitely falls under the "throwing out the baby with the bathwater" heading.

    It's a stretch, but then... most times names get reported/force changed its for something as mildly stupid as a stretch. A few other things it could trigger: "Have any national connotations" "Are mildly inappropriate references to human anatomy" (Skull and Crossbones) "Are references to very well known people, characters, places, or icons"


    Also, naming policy does not extend to Guild or Arena teams, just personal character names.
