Guild Wars 2

“Shaggydog” from Game of Thrones and it got denied. Kind of dumb.

Anybody else have names blocked for no reason?

How about just Shaggy, its already a dog technically.

No issues so far, not even with Zhaitan Junior (drake) and Juvenile Delinquent (jaguar).

“Shaggy” is also blocked. I had to use “Shaiggy”.

“Shaggydog” is what Rickon named his direwolf because he’s 4 and what is this.

I assume its “shag” thats being blocked.
Not sure how I feel about censoring in MMOs. On one hand I dont want to see people named stupid and crud things. On the other hand you cant censor live interaction so its probably best just to embrace it.
If your not old enough to be allowed to swear you probably shouldnt be chatting with strangers online, even if its in an game.

i tried to do the same a while back xD
… reminds me of that post about ‘beaver’ being blocked; not because its an actual animal; just because someone can use it as an innuendo

That’s funny, ‘beaver’ is so inappropriate they locked the whole thread
