Der Fuhrer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I am currently on the US PvP 2 server. I appear to have been chat banned and not too sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeinePanik Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 are there any rules for usernames? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Fuhrer Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 are there any rules for usernames? Yes, there are, but surely Der Fuhrer is not THAT offensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 TBH, i think that is grounds enough for something like that, but i dont think a chat ban would be appropriate for that, most likely you said something offensive or something similar.

Joe Spivey Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It may not be offensive to you but imagine you are a 'mature' player who lost close family to the Nazis. I suspect it is likely because of the name, and if it isn't then it should be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Chat ban has been issued due to racist phrases by this name that has been reported by several players 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeinePanik Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, there are, but surely Der Fuhrer is not THAT offensive? it is. As least in my opinion. But as said before, this might or might not be the reason for your chatban. You will have to wait for an official response I guess Edit: And there it is. I was too slow.

Der Fuhrer Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Chat ban has been issued due to racist phrases by this name that has been reported by several players Thank you for your response. Is this a temporary ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob van Heemskerck Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, there are, but surely Der Fuhrer is not THAT offensive? Type into google Search "Der Fuhrer"...... It's very obvious, doesn't it? Now link your username with this, Chat ban has been issued due to racist phrases by this name that has been reported by several players It does getting more obvious what your intentions are with that username!? Out of all the names you can choose, why this one?! And if you have to choose the word "Fuhrer" (wich isn't wrong by itself), why not choose the name "SchiffsFurhrer" wich is completly innocent? But we all know what your intensions are with that username. Edited February 15, 2016 by Jacob van Heemskerck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 In general such reports lead to 7 day ban issue but in your case it is burdened by the character name it was said from thus it gave us no other option than permanent chat ban. However, after 7 days, if you delete the current character and recreate it with a different name, permanent chat ban will be gone. Remember, that your rank progression and craft experience are linked to Steam account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
