Why Name Violation Suspensions Are Horrible

On release day, I made a character called “Ick Dass Thief”. Nearly 6 months later, I am suspended for it. The reason why suspensions are horrible is because I don’t even have any option to rename the character myself, thus either remaking it and throwing hours away, or get someone to report me for a bad name and get suspended for 3 days. How can you even endorse this kind of system?

The name — while it’s very poor German — is not offensive. It has been uncensored and you were never suspended, so you are ok now.
