little slip there? or you're just a homophobe? I find that remark very insulting.

I have no pity for you. Use the same name in a different way and maybe they will ban you even longer.

Well, it sucks, but I'd say you now just have to think up a new name. Take some nice, innocent, name like Jizzy Cummer or Dick Spunk this time, so you don't get in more trouble.

why are you offended by it ? it wasn't directed towards you. You're one of those people i despise very much, they find anything and everything offensive, even when it means nothing to them. In my opinion it's people like you who ruin Guild Wars for others. But who am i to judge, I'm a small insignificant person.

P.S.And thats what i'm hoping for.

LOL, this thread makes me laugh and actually post on guru which i haven't done in like 6-8 months.

I wouldn't even bother trying to be PC *politically correct* for anyone, ever. you'll never win. I've had people ask me about my name before and when I'd explain to them the origins of the name they were like AH cool, that and the fact that I don't act like a moron has kept me from getting the name banned. Til the LB/SS weekend when I got LB title then later on Legendary Cart. and someone felt offended by that and /reported me.

on a lighter note the name Kcoc Skcus Tena get's through the filters tried and tested.

well i just got a response from Anet, it seems a GM saw me an thought my names where inappropriate, King Of Skeet, Soft Liquor (unintentional pun,it's opposite of Hard Liquor), Liquor Quickly, Liquor Swifly, Liquor Softly.

The last three names where following a pattern from another game, its all i could think of and they are hilarious.

Enough people reported it, apparently someone thought it was offensive. Live with it, change the name, and move on.

I don't personally see anything wrong with any of them, especially the last 4, but oh well.

Are you freakin kidding me?? LOL!! Those are names for your other characters? The last three are obviously sexual in nature, and you expect them to believe the first one wasn't sexual in nature. Maybe it wasn't intended that way, but looking at your track record, even i don't believe you now.

I would bet that it's the combinations of your names. You probably got reported while playing the "Liquor Softly" versions of your names, and got reported.

Does it specifically state that King of Skeet is the problem or that you are in violation of a name...

I'd be rolling my eyes more at the liquor softly name than any other in your list.

Well i was reported while i was on King Of Skeet, which baffles me, but the other ones make sense, i named them stupid on purpose except for Soft Liquor and King Of Skeet, the other 3 where just old toons from different games.

One of its meanings is offensive, doesn't matter what the other meanings are. Thats enough to warrant a temp ban and a forced name change. If you don't change it once the 72 hours have past, someone from Anet will likely change it for you. Don't think this is something you can argue out of.

Quote:
And if someone finds it offensive they probably have a sick and twisted mind and they should get help for it.
After reading your other names, you should be first in line to get some help. Somehow I doubt your innocence in this whole matter, anyway.

Honestly, kids these days.

like I said in the G thread....sooon anet will just give us all numbers and be done with the alphabets altogether......
not everyone is aware that people have perverted words to such and extent (I was unaware of this extra meaning, but then again I am much older than the age range listed in a previous post and I despise rap---gives me a headache)

just go with john smith. or jane smith if its a lady ranger. (though I am sure some one some where has given new meanings to those combinations of letters as well----)

My guess is the OP would choose Mary Jane Smith if he had to choose that just to continue his trend...
