So if my last name was Beaver...

 

[jsc]

Or Weiner

 

[back_by_demand]

Let's hope no-one registers with the name Scunthorpe

 

[belardo]

Does that mean no Santorum?

 

[Pyree]

Batman Bin Suparman will probably destroy EA after he fails to register, LOL!

EA is retarded.

Pretty much sums up most filtering software.

 

[gorehound]

EA =FAIL

 

[nebun]

what's so racist about the word WANG?

 

[icepick314]

[citation][nom]gorehound[/nom]EA =FAIL[/citation]

last time I checked "EA" is spelled "EA"...

"FAIL" is spelled "F" "A" "I" "L"...

but I do agree that generalized filtering is really stupid...

It's been 5 days I waiting about a response of EA support about an issue.
They forget give me a promotional game... that I order in PREORDER.

Since support can't do nothing because it's not a completely stupid question (and they have no power at all), I should receive a answer of someone boss.
They messed up... and I still waiting.
I'm sure they'll make me wait at the point of the forum will close the question considering it's answered...

I think about never buy again from EA.
Anyway, Origin is just a copy of Steam.

Wow. Super silly. I bet Marijuana is censored too. There was a news report a while back about a woman who had that as her first name. Bet she can't register!

 

[hoof_hearted]

I wonder if congressman Weiner (the one who tweeted his bird) would have a problem?

 

[thrasher32]

What if my last name as Schlong?

I enjoyed the title of the article.. nicely worded. 😉

 

[cookoy]

EA is afraid people will use their real names to set up fake accounts? if banks think this way, boy they sure have millions of fake accounts to deal with.

 

[spookyman]

You could say the same with "Smith". How common is smith?

 

[seller417]

or 'Johnson'

Should not have down rated the comment about "Wang Computers" ... It was true ...Know you history... There was actually a Wang computer company.. Back in the 70's 80's. I was in high school using said computer in 1983 (i believe they were a word processing company ala Xerox" i remember the $Gio command to do programming on it. (btw this was back in the days of commodore PET. Had a 4016 that was upgraded in place to 32Kb's! Double the memory.
