    It's a drug reference,  read the tos..  names that reference drugs aren't permitted.

    If youre wondering..

    https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/#section6

    It falls under this particular clause : 

    • Publish, post, upload or distribute any content, such as a topic, name, screen name, avatar, persona, or other material or information, that EA (acting reasonably and objectively) determines is inappropriate, abusive, hateful, harassing, profane, defamatory, threatening, obscene, sexually explicit, infringing, privacy-invasive, vulgar, offensive, indecent or unlawful.

    As that particular drug is illegal in most countries,  it is unlawful and thus violates the terms of service.

    Personally I just think you should change your handle to something more appropriate and be done with it.

How is B0ng inappropriate but I can be called a * and a * every round and they suffer no repercussions. That's a sick excuse of a joke right there. Literally just put in autoban system in chat that stops people from saying slurs and * and don't preemptively ban people because haha funny name joke references weed.
