Blizzard Insists Actual Humans Are Reading Through All the WoW Forever Beta Character Names It Banned Players for This Week
Blizzard is banning players who it feels have created highly offensive character names in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta, and warned fans against “testing” the system.
Blizzard is enforcing a new policy to ban offensive character names in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta. The company warned players against "testing" the system, as dual names offered by the beta version allowed for more creativity and personalization. Blizzard assured that actual humans were reviewing character names to enforce their naming policies, and removed access for those who created names that violated their Code of Conduct.
Senior game producer Tom Ellis defended Blizzard's decision, stating that players might have been banned due to a character they created but were not currently playing.
