If you continue to violate the User Agreement or Rules of Conduct in any way, your account may be permanently banned from the service. Please ensure that you are familiar with both the User Agreement and Rules of Conduct, which you may find at the URLs given below.
That's a bit extreme isn't it? I wonder if they'd ban someone with the username 'Stalin' or some such? Genocidal maniac but somehow got a better press than Hitler.

I think they've been fairly lenient with some of the more outrageously er...flamboyant characters people have made.
They tend to err on the side of caution for these things, as people who conceivably might be offended, might blame the game publishers, and they might get sued.
I've used Japanese honorifics in all my character names, Kitty-chan, Kitty-sama, etc and I got a warning in WoW for Kitty-sensei as it broke the rule about having a name that "implied status or rank".

Gah, what is it with Februarys? Well, other than the obvious New Game Drought. I've got the MGF itch again, and even signed up for a ten-day trial.
