I will change one of two characters name but I clearly do not see why I have to change ‘Tickle My Tequatl’ when an Arena employee is running around LA with ___adonk in their name.(employee quickly de-tagged their arena tag after I called them to question) With all due respect I understand the user agreements but how can players be enforced with an iron fist when Arena employee/s aren’t playing by the same rules. ‘Tickle My Tequatl’ will ‘Tickle Me Tequatl’ be banned?

Best Regards,

T

If you find a name offensive, you’re free to report it as someone clearly did for yours.

Unless of course ARENA wants to protect ‘Tequatl’ and place it on the endangered species list from Tickling.

I admit one of my other characters will have its name changed but I am asking for ‘Tickle My Tequatl’ to be reinstated and to be left alone, this is the 4th or 5th time I have had to change it. However now with an ARENA employee setting a clear precedent which is more so evidently offensive over ‘Tickle My Tequatl’.

ARENA employee was logged in on SBI server:

Name: Blonkadonk [PUG] (screen shot can be provided upon request)

I do not want to change it then get a Perma Ban.

Tickles the Tequatl
Tequatl Me Tickles

If you’re saying I can be banned for the above two variations, I honestly think whoever is enforcing the banns has a serious issue that I would prefer to resolve asap.

Best Regards

I don’t see why you should be asked to change your name. The humor isn’t vulgar. Unless they are asking you to change it because of a copyright, I think you should be allowed to keep it.

You have 17 different Bad Names infractions and continue to use variations and special characters of those names, I would highly suggest you stop. Usage of Guild Wars characters is not allowed in character names.

If you find a name offensive, you’re free to report it as someone clearly did for yours.

This is the answer: Please use the report function and a team member will review the name you have reported and take the appropriate action. No matter who uses the name, we’ll uphold the Naming Policy, as we should.

The forums is not the place to submit a name report, nor is it the place to appeal CS actions taken in relation to an offensive name flag, particularly by someone who has become intimately familiar with our Naming Policy through multiple violations which should lead to a clear understanding of our policies and our standards.
