So is the word 'cock' permissible in a character name or not?
"uuuuh maybe because you're immature and they have more important shit to do. 'An open mind is like a Fortress with it's gates unbarred and unguarded'.

" So what? You still said that you wasted their time asking about it in the first place. You really think Chris has nothing better to do than sit around chatting to you about whether it's ok to use the word cock? Or that he wants to have to pass messages around his entire support team so that they all know to ignore the mountains of complaints that your name generates? It's pathetic. Why not just let them get on with more important stuff and not create the hassle to begin with? |

" GGG created the hassle in the first place by banning / threatening to ban my names. They told me to email them to discuss it. 4 devs said that my names were fine. Now another dev goes and bans me for using a word that I was already given permission to use in my IGN, and tells me again that I have to email them to sort it out If their time is being wasted by this, then that is entirely their own fault.

Anyone who is actually concerned about being able to put 'cock' in their character's name is probably too young to be playing this game anyway. Do your homework instead.
Bullshit, you get the game for free.

" Im concerned about the bans I keep getting after already being given permission for the use of the word, not about the word itself. And people who are so offended the name Cock shouldnt ever be let outside of their pram / crib: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_(surname) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocks_(surname) (b) Personal abuse, foul language, inappropriate subject matter, obscene, harassing, threatening, hateful, or discriminatory or defamatory remarks of any nature ... are not permitted. - PoE TOS.

" Actually, I think I would prefer Wraeclast without a bunch of Cocks appearing on trade chat and in my local instance. That somewhat reduces the verisimilitude of the game into something childish and worthless. Can't you think of a more interesting name, without the word cocks in it and just deal with it? If people complained about it, GGG's responsibility is to the wider audience, not just to you. They chose the wider audience. Return to this flameless sunder

The game contains full nudity and is rated 17+, so why would GGG be bothered about making their game cater to people who find that offensive?
And how exactly is the word Cock childish? Do explain that to me.

" You have plenty of names with the word cock in it, which are still allowed. So I am presuming the context of the name in relation to cocks was seen as inappropriate. It's done now, there is no point moaning about something that will not be changed now. Some quotes: Complaining not only ruins everybody else's day, it ruins the complainer's day, too.
