Hello all,

The day that was yesterday, my account was banned for a character “name violation” it was my first time getting that, and changed the name to my name that my parents were to give me.

Now I return from work a few minutes ago and am banned again! I Did not know what the problem is!
And now “Ask a Question” is not letting me ask the question.! It just stays the same on the screen to my monitor.

I am new from Norway and do not speak English very well. Can someone help me to understand this?

Is the name you signed your post with “Dix” part of your character name? I understand differences in language may cause problems with names at times. If that is in your name, in English it can read as a name for a part of the male body. That may be the problem.

As far as the ask a question problem, try closing and reopening your browser and if that doesn’t work try cleaning out your browser cache to see if that helps.

That is not accurate. You have accrued a long list of naming violations. The names you’ve chosen —looks like about a dozen -- are consistently childish and offensive, and the breaches have occurred since last October. This has nothing to do with a lack of English skills, for your attempts to use work-around spelling to create characters with offensive names shows a more-than-adequate understanding of English.

You suspension will remain in place. And it’s a suspension and not a termination, aka “ban.” Don’t worry about filing an appeal — it will not be upheld.

I suggest you get on board with the Naming Policy, for if you continue down this path, your account truly will be terminated eventually.
