The entirety of this article is slightly off anyway, given the volume of names in WoW that violate this policy anyway i can only imagine the GM was having a bad day, saw your name and decided to do something (either because he reads slashdot and thought he was somehow defending your honor or because it does actually violate that clause, also - without actually trying to kiss up - i believe it may also violate the celebrity part as well. I have seen all kinds of very bad celebrity and genre violations along with charaters w/ names like buymystuff or mule. Blizzard needs to go through and either kill all these names or just let them all in (i would prefer killing them all). Let's face it, WoW is an RPG, it is in the fantasy genre, this prevents a name like CmdrTaco, ForceMaster, liteyouup and so many more we've all seen from really fitting into the game. These names tend to ruin the illusion of the game. There may not be much, but it is there. What they should have done is not let you create the name in the first place. I've been told by a GM they manually approve each name, like I personally witnessed an EQ guide friend of mine do for EQ, but with the quantity of bad names in the game and only 550 GM's for 5 million players worldwide, I doubt Blizzard has the ability to do that. Besides, that would be like having good customer service... and we all know how good they are there...

Man.

It's almost enough to make you not want to moderate, sifting through the enormous amounts of absolute shit that people spam /. with. A diatribe on Filipinos; the endless supply of ring-around-Uranus jokes (and comments re: cuing said jokes) on the story about Saturn's newly discovered ring; the first-post-and-fuck-yous that aren't even first post. From a fucking AnCow, even--what's the fucking point?? And spam. My God, the spam.
