My character name “Pwn Star” has just been deemed as a violation to the naming policy.
(Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I cannot locate where one can file an appeal as is suggested by this site.)
I’ve had the name since release and have used spin offs of it in Guild Wars 1 for years. I believe that the only reason why this got reported is because someone’s jealous. It is a highly sought after name in many games.
I can’t see where this name violates the naming policy but if it’s really doing so in a way I simply cannot perceive then I just want to know the following…
1. Once I change my character name, is another player able to use that name [after 24 hours] or does it remain flagged as ‘used’ or something? I’d be quite annoyed if another player was able to pick it up right after I was forced to drop it.
2. Can someone please tell me how this is offensive/violating the naming policy? I’m not trying to troll, I literally do not understand this and neither can anyone in map chat at the moment.
3. If this is deemed to be a legitimate infarction, is there a place on the forums where I can get a name pre-approved before I change the toon’s name so that this doesn’t have to happen again?
While you might say something along the lines of “offensive names are obvious”, I no longer believe that they are and I am worried that no matter what I do it’s going to be offensive.
