The Tos is loose on names, but it does say you can't do this:Impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, ZeniMax, ZeniMax’s partners’ or affiliates’ employees, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent Your affiliation with a person or entity;
The names are grey area, but your entire toon list does reference easily other people. And Osama has directly caused harm to some people to warrant them to report OP, especially since he added "bomb" to the name.
I think the suspension is correct.

Tons of people named Sadam. The Osama one is only a problem because it includes first and last name

yeah, being a pvp BombBlade, I thought it was a clever pun, although I had initial reservations about the legitimacy of the name I came up with. I mean, you can't even say "bomb" in an American airport; what in the hell made me think I could use the word bomb in an obscure reference to such a red-flag name in a video game? Admittedly I knew that that name in particular was towing a thin line, and I may have not been reported had it been "Barrak O'Bomba". I have to now change all of them though so that sucks. I should make a post for people to pick my new names for me lol. That would be fun.

Truely applicable here. OP, how about puns based on Scooby-Doo villains in remembrance when you rename your characters?

Noooooooo!! Me and my guild mates love the name George w ambush! We had some good time with you farming EP in IC . When we first saw your name we laughed and thought how clever that was.
Why the 72hr ban though? I get the requirement to force you to change names. They could have forced you to change names without the ban...that seems excessive...
If I was a ZOS I woulda booted the turds that reported you and forced them to change their names.pogopwns_ESO wrote: »Why the 72hr ban though? I get the requirement to force you to change names. They could have forced you to change names without the ban...that seems excessive...
Full disclosure... George W Ambush was initially named Cannibal Christ. I wouldn't stop killing a small man group of EP in IC districts when they were trying to quest, and they must have all reported my name, because I was server kicked and forced to change names when I logged back in. That's how George W Ambush was born and this all started with themed names.
In the email from support regarding being reported, they prompted me to read the naming section of the TOS, which more than obviously I merely skimmed... Or not read at all maybe... But I assure you I have read it now
So I caught the suspension because they made me change a name before.

I can kinda understand the last one, but all of them are ****ing hilarious!
Agree. 6 was pushing it, but I feel like 3 and even 2 you could have gotten away with if the others hadn't brought attention to your account. Pun wisely my friend.
