General Discussion - Question about name restrictions - Forum

Just wondering if we're allowed to have names like "FckYouCnt", i assumed so given its not filtered as it would be with most games, but i'm just wondering if down the track id be asked to change it? Is it simply ok unless it offends someone? will they filter it out later and force a name change?	Posted by Kody#6246 on Feb 4, 2013, 2:19:25 AM Quote this Post
Judgement is your best guide. If you do pick a name like that, it's only a matter of time until someone reports in, and then- new character name. All the things I want to remember are in the places I'd like to forget.	Posted by Jim_Fear#7362 on Feb 4, 2013, 2:21:42 AM Quote this Post

" I often wonder why people think the world is going to hell. Then I read this. The name is just an example mate. its very surprising that its not filtered, just wondering if this is intended or not.	Posted by Kody#6246 on Feb 4, 2013, 2:25:53 AM Quote this Post

However when names are reported as offensive or a Dev or Mod sees it, you are prone to be muted until a name change can occur. You have a short time frame to email support picking your new name or a random name will be generated for you but until your time in the list comes up - you are muted, could be a little while and could be up to a week or longer.
