Banned for a week | Forums

Hi I was wondering why I was banned without even a warning randomly? It says I have an inappropriate user name which is Pedosaurus-Rex, but I had this user name for almost half a year when the dinosaur outfit was first released. Why wasn't I warned or given time to change the name, but instead just instantly banned. Is there a reason for this?

Well, if you got banned for a week then I guess thats your warning Now you have 7 days to come up with a new name.

Just kidding, but I guess you got caught in some automatic filter.

The first 4 letters of your name IS a trigger word, as it is used as a shortform for a person who has a certain illegal preference. Even if that was not your intention when you came up with the name, that's how it can be perceived by others. If somebody saw your name and was offended by it, maybe they reported you, which would have brought your name to Ubisoft's attention, leading to a ban.

Just my guess of why it happened. Personally, it doesn't offend me, because I don't see it as having the intent behind it that others might see, but Ubisoft has to err on the side of caution when it comes to this sort of thing. I mean, look at all the rules about what couldn't be included in the Halloween contest!
