Well, that’s the forums for you. A little unfair in my opinion.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of my battletag either but I’m not paying ten dollars to change it, so…

Blizzard did this to me back when In my old Lich King days on WoW. They never really gave me a reason as to why it happenned when i enquired.

All they said was something about an account being deemed inactive. But when they probed, clearly my account was still active with an active sub.

I’ve been told that Blizzard will change your battletag themselves if it’s inappropriate or goes against their terms of service.

… which can’t be the case for me, because BattlePants was a Blizzard-generated username for me. I’m at a loss.

I was wondering were you were.

I’ve don that sme thing multiple times an didn’t get a ban.

I recall a thread taking about their Blizzard generated name being flagged and changed.

Okay, now that’s just pathetic. What’s vulgar about β€œBattlePants”? Come on, Blizzard.

Im thinking it’s an automated system where β€œpants” is a blacklisted no-no. What a world we live in

Imagine being a large company and blacklisting a word that’s in all of your company generated usernames. Big brain, am I right

Oh it gets worse for them.

My WoW name was XxxTG and they changed it.
Apparently triple x did me in.

Damn, and I thought Xbox was bad with censorship. There’s literally nothing bad with that

Funny thing is, back when, when a username was taken, people pre/appended things to that username to make it unique (ie. numbers and other letters).
Xxx was a popular one and i saw Countless xxxNameHere tags after they switched mine. So i was all…bish im quitting this gaem.

I dont see how how Battlepants can be offensive though. That’s just down right nasty, bushleague of them.

Just glad I’m an Xbox player, so this incident only ended up changing my identity on here.

Wait, they can forcefully change your pc name?
The most idiotic thing I have ever and will ever hear. Really?
I've never seen any examples of Xbox censorship other than messages I report get instantly delyeeted because some salt shaker messages me and donates some salt. Wait, did I say 'some'? I swear if people's saltiness was transferred into real salt then it could've created 101 waterless oceans, if not more.

Well, if your battletag goes against their ToS or is reported for being β€œvulgar”, they might change it. And PC Overwatch just uses your battletag, yeah?

Periodic check in on you, Lynn.

Hope that you’re continuing to improve? <3

No change to the almighty pants of battle yet either. Hope they get back to you soon.

Yeah, I like BattlePants better.

Speaking of which, there are lots of pairs of pants on these forums: Battlepants, Superpants, Wildpants, to name a few.
