    Just like most, if not all, stand up comics don't use profanity? Because they're adults they should abide by that same rule, correct?

    They follow the rules of the venue that booked them. That way, they get asked back.

    Ok, I'm confused a bit here. You're saying that ZOS renamed your account name.. is that right? If even that's the case, how can they do that without your permission to do so? I can see, if a word or phrase hit the radar of being against whatever ZOS, they would send you a message of a such and should have requested you to change the name as well as should had attached an explanation or something of what the conflict is. I would be ticked off too if I was giving something like this that I hadn't chosen or gave permission to; if that's what you're saying. This doesn't make sense that they would outright just change your account name like that.

    Yes, they can change your name without your permission

    Yeah, man, sounds kind of fishy. Wonder if you were hacked instead. Putting aside the naming thing, it is doesn't seem right that ZOS can just change your name like that without your consent. Granted, I did skim through their ToS and don't recall they stated they have reserved the rights to change our account name without our consent. If that's the case or any word or phrase are against their ToS or CoC, they could, at the least, temporarily suspend your account and then sending you a message advising you to rename to an acceptable one which is not against their ToS/CoC and your account would be unlocked; instead of outright just changing the name for you. Keep trying to work with them to find out why.. maybe it could be another bug or admin error. Anyways.. good luck on it, though.

    My name was ForeskinPaladin, a glorious name I have carried with me across many MMO's. ZOS renamed me FancyKale, adding insult to injury. I reviewed the code of conduct, and I don't think there's anything graphic about my name, it's just funny. This left a pretty sour taste in my mouth, I don't make a lot of money but I love Elder Scrolls and wanted to support it. Gimme back my name ZOS!

    Actually I think I'd prefer FancyKale over ForeskinPaladin.

    As others have pointed out, I'm amazed that most people in this thread have survived this long on the net. Poor sheltered folks.

    ZOS has to literally draw a line somewhere. People will just make more and more worse names and complain that it's no different than your original name. To prevent this sort of situation it's just a blanket policy. Agree or disagree but that's why it was changed.

    Damn if you guys think ForeskinPaladin is "demeaning" and "vulgar" how do you survive on the internet? I'm also surprised you guys are even fans of Elder Scrolls. Have you ever read The Lusty Argonian Maid?

    I have no problem with it, what I am saying is that it is demeaning to the person using the name in my opinion. You have to admit it sounds like something a kid who just learned what a foreskin is came up with. Also yes I have read The Lusty Argonian Maid, i just wish there would be more of the books in ESO :)

    The name is juvenile and hopefully one day when you have gained some maturity you will realize ZOS did you a favor. Just because a game is rated M doesn't mean you have to act like a 13 year old seeing their first R rated movie. I would also say that someone not wanting to see vulgarity in a username doesn't necessarily make them sheltered...just mature enough to have outgrown Beavis and Butthead

    Or just snowflakes that have no sense of humor and can't take a joke. Video games are entertainment - not something that's suppose to be taken seriously. Life is serious enough - video games are an escape for some to just have fun no matter how ridiculous some of you find it.

    Not going to lie - I have what I guess you could call "traditional" names for my RPG characters except for the 1 - and it's a funny name that people whisper me saying it made them laugh when they saw it. It's a ridiculous name on a ridiculous looking character because I made that one for fun and laughs. Yeah it's stupid and childish - but it's just for fun. If it offends someone - then they need to grow up - not me.

    What's funny is, I watched the show, maybe, twice when it was originally on the air. When I went back to college, I had a professor in Media Analysis that used a couple episodes as an example of how popular media can affect social norms over extended periods of time.

    Isn't ESO rated M?

    Never been a fan of M rated games trying to make players abide by PG rules.

    You're suppose to be 17 or 18 to buy this game any way and they have an issue with that name? Hypocrites.

    The rating is due to some content. Zos has the right, and clearly reserves that right, to not permit certain names it finds offensive.
