Name Violation
Check the Urban Dictionary. I found 2 definitions. One was a drug reference and the other was an insult.
But you’re not using the word “dank”, you’re using “danky”. Which is not the same word. “Lad” and “lady” are not the same thing, right? Read and ready?
I don’t see “danky” in Webster’s. Which would seem to make it a “homemade term”.
The fact that you are getting a 72 hour ban means you already had a bad name before, or you have multiple infractions and they combined them all. If you really want to know what is wrong, you’ll have to submit a ticket, the forums won’t give you the answer you want.
Just because you can get away with an inappropriate name in other games, doesn’t mean you can get away with it here.
On a side note – slang references are just as valid as Webster’s dictionary. I suggest you change your name to something that won’t get you a 168 hour (1 week) ban, which would most likely be the next step.
the whole point is being ban for something i didnt know. that is all.
Well, it’s unfortunate you got a ban for a name you thought was safe but that’s the way it goes sometimes. I wouldn’t have thought of anything wrong with it if I had made it. All you can do I guess is be sure and google the next name to make sure it doesn’t have some meaning unknown to you. The problem came because you already had the first offense. Which triggered the ban on the second one. But I hope you pick a name you like and have fun in game soon.

This is getting odd, a few people ingame reported getting a 72 hour ban.
Myself included got one yesterday kicked on the final wave, and another forum poster here says he got one too (at the exact time i did)
I’m wondering if there is a glitch going on. I already contacted support but still nothing.
I had to change my characters name and my character is now considered innapropriate if you try picking the name i had, which is bizaare.

OR… perhaps you guys all have inappropriate names? Won’t know for sure unless you shared it with us.

Please, let’s discuss the full story: You used the offensive term multiple times on August 9th. And the names were all censored and you were reinstated, as we considered that block a form of “public education” about our Naming Policy.
Turning around and using the same term on August 21st was not a good choice. The names were censored and you will now serve a time-out because you have been sufficiently warned — through our published policy (which you accept before you join the game) AND through the first set of censored names.
For future names: Choose wisely.
