Issue signing up for forum

we recently had a player get an email saying he was denied access to the forum, with zero explanation. He's never had it, so not banned - what gives?

@Lynsey [Midoki] @Chris [Midoki]

 

His name is ballsdeep - same as his pirate name

 

Can't imagine the name has anything to do with it

 

If "pink taco (squirt emoji)" and "booty slappa (hand emojis)" are acceptable, I see no difference spongee

 

He might have to have it as ba**sdeep as one of our guild members name was TesticleBeard and he had to have te***lebeard or something. Lol.

 

@ PTO, both Pink Taco and Booty Slappa seem very close to crossing the line, but not quite. Ballsdeep has more of a vulgarity to it. I could explain away Pink Taco and BootySlappa in innocent terms. Ballsdeep... Well, when my 9 and 10 year-old asked what that meant (as they had someone by that name join their guild in another game), I had no cute explanation, so just told them the truth (I know, what a horrible dad! ). I tend to view names as acceptable by whether or not I can give a plausible innocent definition for it, or whether it is considered mainstream vulgarity. Not saying I am against the name, just saying my perception on why one and not the others.

 

Balls deep down field--he throws far--that's what I'd say.

 

Wish I had thought of that

I know my kids went running to school the next day telling all their friends what ballsdeep means. I was expecting a call to the principals office.

 

So....he tried created a less offensive name and got denied again. Now what?

 

We have a pool team in our league named "Balls Deep". It was less offensive than their previous name, which had no reference to the game of pool.

 

Thanks @Lynsey [Midoki] !!

Can you maybe enlighten us as to where the line is for appropriate vs inappropriate names (ballsdeep vs pink taco)?

 

*as a former IT guy - I love this disclaimer!

 

I'm glad this hasn't affected me and my fellow Dutchmen. Auto-correct flipped Dutchman to Doucheman, go figure.

 

I will admit, I LOL'd! (not at work though, pesky IT guys block "gaming" forums...... but not russian mail order bride web sites....) IT guys = pervs?!
