ive been playing on my character for months his name is poo la cam po and i have never received a warning about my name and i was just suspended for three days. i feel that i should have been given a warning before getting a suspension so im asking that my suspension be lifted and im willing to change my name if need be.

It was not the first name block for this account, and that is why the name was flagged. There was another really offensive name about a year ago. And that name block, back then, was the warning that you’ve mentioned in your subject line. You indeed did have a warning about our Naming Policy at that time.

Now, I am well aware that the first word in the name isn’t considered offensive by a lot of people, myself included. But as I’ve said before, players cannot filter names, so we have a heightened sensitivity to what crosses the line. Some people are offended by what many would consider even a “mild” reference to a bodily function.

If this were the first instance, I’d probably go to bat to argue for removal of the suspension with the time served as sufficient indication of our policies, but it’s not possible for me to do that in these circumstances, with a previous warning already having been given.
