“Amazon” is an offensive innuendo for a bushy private part so why don’t they just censor their own stupid name?

Yeah, Their naming policy is a joke. Has been from launch. Ive seen 1370+ characters with names like Mokokohomo, Etc. Yet they block the most trivial names in character creation and ban others like this. Crazy
Ive always hated the region wide locked names too. People running around with names like Shoe, Banana, Notebook, Bottle, Broom because essentially ALL names are taken. Including silly ones like those…
A GMs friend probably wanted the name so they asked or paid the gm to get you to change your name so they could have it.

Yeah… this seems pretty petty if its legitimately a suspension over the name.
I got banned by a mod from the BDO Reddit for “spreading hate speech and racist ideologies”
That was their reason of course.
What ACTUALLY happened was, I plugged my stream with tag lines like
- family values
- father
- business owner
I suppose those are some of the RED FLAGS of conservatism though, and we can’t have conservatives playing video games! And since we can’t seem to get them out of our games, well at least we can gate keep in some capacity when we gain positions of power and authority as forum mods and the like.
Sheesh!
Sorry this happened. I’m so ready for this Cancel Culture, Hyper-Sensitive to speech crowd to grow up a bit. At least get some thicker skin.
Vibes??? Really??? Heaven help us.
Meanwhile, the game misgenders my Shadow Hunter in every single voice acted scene, calling my she a he, but Vibes is a bridge too far. Comical and sad.

AGS really chose to be in “woke” status 100% of the time LOL
I’ve seen many crazy names I am also using some myself, I don’t see any problem here AGS needs to give him his name back

Imagine getting banned for using your actual real name like Kyle Rittenhouse supposedly did with EA. No idea if they eventually changed course there after they (hopefully) got backlash for their wokester idiocy.
This Vibes thing is indeed insane as well.
This world and the snowflake mentality that exists in it now…do people really think the path it is on is going to work out? Going to be funny watching this train wreck happen as people and companies keep trying to up one another in their wokeness and supposed “inclusion” where they claim they don’t want to offend anyone…except of course the people they are offending by banning them for non offensive names, along with people like me who are “offended” by wokester idiocy and “offended” by people who simply refuse to accept reality. When they say they don’t want to offend or exclude anyone, they simply mean they don’t want to offend or exclude anyone just like them. If you have a different ideology, you do not count and are sub-human to them.
Vibes is not okay but i can run a dungeon with a dude named Cockwithacock …
Justice 4 Vibes
That is so dumb if Vibes is really the name that access is restricted for.
I’d quit and never play an Amazon game again if this happen to me. If they’re that disconnected from common sense/logic who knows the other mistakes they’re making. Complete incompetence.
I mean, obviously it wasn’t a manual and likely an automated report system. No fucking sane person looked at that name and said “sheeet wheee wilakers, thats some offensive caker doodle”
I agree with the ban until you change the name. I am deeply offended and I just wanted to let you know.

This is pathetically sad, but not surprising at all. I mean, look at our world today. Everyone is offended by everything. There are literal socio and psychopaths running everything. It is only going to get worse until people wake up and stand up to the crazy bullies who think they can dictate how everyone thinks and acts.

Vibes is only a kinky word in English because it has a double meaning. So it’s not about any sort of language barrier. There is a guy named Lewdboy on my server so it’s not about the kinky factor…
Could it possibly be the horrible naming system that wont let us use extra capital letters like in KR/RU? People are salty that all their names are taken and someone probably decided to report you out of pure jealousy.
If it was automated it means they are actively still adding words to the blacklist… inb4 I get banned for having “Pump” in my name.
A guildie had the IGN Lasian and they were forced to rename by a GM because when asked what it meant he said lazy Asian (imo his fault for being honest, could’ve literally said Asian was taken so I threw a random letter in there or that he is Lao idk so many options here to lie) and so they forced him to change it because it’s derogatory, even though he himself is Asian…? But yeah I’ve seen Cummies and all sorts of lewd names. Actually comical that these people have the time.
Man I got a character name Cunninglinguist and I’m still a-ok.
Edited.
