Minority Report was actually a good film. It was about people who were arrested for crimes prior to their commission, through the use of psychics. Very dark but a very thought-provoking storyline. That was why I was comparing mods to Thought Police. Soon we will be modded just by thinking what we should post.

The logic behind the decision will likely be down to them not wanting to have to spend time on making complicated decisions on right or wrong names so they will just ban all names of a type. Most people will probably think aids would be an offensive name or maybe bulemia but you just know some 12 year old idiot called Cancervictim is going to stamp his feet and complain because there's someone else called tonsilitis (lol) and hasn't got banned. You might say well tonsilitis isn't offensive but who at BW is gonna draw up a list of offensive and non offensive disease names. The whole scenario would be ridiculous so they just ban them all.

No one thought that maybe someone have it or knew someone that have anemia and didn't find it funny? though I think it might have been confused with enema (as someone else suggested if it was EU server).

Have you read the naming rules? If not, you'll vomit like a bulimic (hehe) when you read them. There is no room for humor in them. Humor leads to laughter, laughter leads to uptight nerds getting upset, uptight nerds leads to the dark side.... that's what Yoda said right?

Anyway, I just gave myself the same surename just in the proper language.

I also know who probably reported me. It was shortly after I had a competition with some other player over some low number mobs I needed for a deed (Limrafn in Evendim for everyone who played the game - they come only out at night and even then there are not many around - a true pain in the neck). To make a long mater short I was faster and he essentially did not get many of those mobs and eventually left - but not without reporting me to the GMs I guess.

So sometimes it is really just ill will and revenge or something similar.
I have a Rogue in WoW named Narazumono, Japanese for Thief, (kind of), but I've never had a single complaint.

I thought I read them but I must have missed a section. I definitely got someones slide rule bent out of shape. Good thing I didn't name a character Kap'nKurk. Instead of threat of banishment, I would be subject to crucifixion. (sp?).

i find this absolutely appalling! how can people that break the TOS not get suspended like i did. My account got suspended for some stupid S***. You can't put websites in chat what-so-ever. If someone reports you for it BAM insta week ban. Sent out an email to account dispute on Friday, I have not heard a peep from BW not a single confirmation email saying "hey we got it" consider yourself lucky OP.

Yesterday I passed a player called Jazzhands and a character called Skelektor (guessing someone else already had Skeletor), my attitude is that we aren't on a RP server so whatever floats your boat as long as it's not something intended to be purely offensive. I do know though that characters with less than mature names are not people I want to group with, experience tells me they will be trouble.

I remember they used to have a car named then the Ford Pinto, in Portugese this means a male Genital. and dont ask the Spanish what a Mitsubishi Pajero is
"pinto" is not "male genital" in portuguese... its more brazilian slang. In REAL portuguese, a pinto is a small chicken or baby chicken,... so you were reported by an over-zealous brazilian who obviously has no idea in what kind of country he lives in... lol
