Yet another EA ID rant

I fully expect the response from EA to be, "if the system won't allow you to use this ID, then your only option is choose a different name." This is a BS response. I know much of the community has already complained about EA ID issues but I'll add my experience anyway.

a swig o vodka has been my gamertag since the original xbox days and is still my gamertag on Xbox, playstation, Steam, Epic and Ubisoft. All but EA. For some reason that EA can't or won't give me other than "choose a different name", I can't use that name. After many attempts to change the variations of the letters and caps and no caps, the only variation that works is, a_swig_o_vaudka. Multiple chats with EA advisors has helped nothing and the last one advised me to come to the community forum so here I am. The first advisor was able to tell me that perhaps the word "vodka" was against the user policy. Which to that, I have compiled a list of names that I have come across in different battlefield matches. Names that I find hilarious but many might find them a bit more offensive than the word vodka and EA apparently is ok with them as well.

At this point I don't expect EA to fix anything as they can't seem to fix their company at the moment but wanted to throw it out there. a swig o vodka is all I ask for.
