Had my warrior since the game came out and it got banned for the name britches and hose

I also reported someone for spam whispering me the n word and it seems a lot of people here admit they used racial slurs like the n word... KKK much?

I've only been playing since GW:EN came out, but no, no bans for me.

A 72x2 hour ban for 2 offencive names on main account. But come on, i can understand why "I Swallow For Ectos" is offensive but I "Swallow Ectos" is totally different! I want my name back NAO.

And one perma ban on my 2nd account/mule account. I just tried to log in one day after 3 years to get the yearly presents/mini pets and place some stuff from my main account.. Well it was resolved by sending a ticket, on which Anet answered back basically saying that they had no clue why it was banned.. Go figure..

4 years, never been banned. Don't intend on getting a ban either. I play nice

I like my names, and hope they're not offensive in some language I don't know. I'd HATE that. I spent a lot of time making up my names, and intend to keep them. The sudden offensiveness-policy-change got my quite annoyed, because you never know what your name might mean in some obscure language/dialect. Heck, one of my best friends's name is Dick.
Been banned on Guru twice, for double WTS posts I think... Guess I'm forgetfull... But I try not to be offensive. Always better to stay friendly to abusive people and report them instead when they rage on you.

OMG lol, I hope you're kidding. Your mom watches you everytime you go online? dude, get a room! xD

The Arching Healer · Jun 15, 2009, 02:55 PM // 14:55

I got banned once for three days. I said n igger

Ebony Shadowheart · Jun 15, 2009, 04:23 PM // 16:23

3 years of playing....well somewhere between 3 and 4....no bans, that I can recall anyway.

My fiance and I have a tendency to b*tch stupid people (and whiners) out, and tend to start arguments, just to watch everyone else jump in and get a good laugh....but never been reported for it. Apparently other people felt it was all in good fun too (and have a decent sense of humor).

We've intentionally played with the inappropriate name stuff, seeing just how far we could push it....no luck, still not banned lol. My fiance has a sin 'disallowed name' just to poke fun at Anet though.

Ghost Omel · Jun 15, 2009, 04:26 PM // 16:26

Yes once..

For 72 hours

Right after the Report thing update i believe

My brother was spamming in all chat WTS....got 3 days of no play -_- desides that never in all 3.5 years of gametime

Icy The Mage · Jun 15, 2009, 05:25 PM // 17:25

I don't even know how I'm still not-banned with all of the trash talking I do in PvP. xD

rusty89 · Jun 16, 2009, 06:40 AM // 06:40
