My name was changed... and I'd argue that it wasn't even close to offensive...

I’ve submitted a ticket but have no idea when I’ll hear back. My name was changed from Jewbacca to Catamaran Nights. I am, in fact, Jewish and I’m not insulted by my own name. I use this ID on both Twitter and Steam (along with some other online locations) and I’ve yet to run into someone that has had a negative reaction to my online handle.

If this action is not able to be appealed, I’d at least like the opportunity to create my own name. I did not do anything here that was designed to offend nor do I believe it warrants any sort of punishment.

No one in the game can possibly know that you are Jewish. And no one who sees the name knows the intention, they just see a questionable name and react accordingly.

Name is disallowed. Name will be disallowed. And as far as I recall, you did not serve the usual 3-day time-out, so you might see the glass as half full rather than half empty.
