They need to lighten this system. I have seen so many names that were not even offensive not allowed in this game. People need to stop being soft. Worry about fixing your game instead of this
Agreed. First off you shouldnt be banned regardless for a game you pay for. Regardless of what you make your name. Freedom of speech, you pay your money just like the person who is reporting you for your name. Everyone is so soft now a days. Its a video game and just about every name i see on there are made to be funny and a joke.

Since this game is not rated mature, we can't have obscene and offensive names. Besides that, people use it as a way to spread hateful comments. Something else we're not going to tolerate. This game should be about playing hockey together. Not naming your player with an obscene or racist message.

"Freedom of speech"
This does not mean what you think it means.
Oh i know what freedom of speech is… im using it in the sense of EA being the “government” in this case. i use Mick E Moose as my name so this has no effect on me however my point is YOU pay for a game, I pay for a game… why do you have a right to tell me how to play it? Why do you have a right to distinguish if i should or shouldnt be banned for something? You paid same as i did. What if i report you just because you are good at the game and i stink? The names are part of the chel experience and therefore you as another paying customer shouldnt be allowed to change my experience. I get EA being able to block certain hate or swearing, cursewords ect but when someone cant even put “Larry” or their real name in because EA thinks it’s offensive is ridiculous. Its a video game and is someones OPINION of a funny name that gets banned because someone elses OPINION is its offensive.
Free Speech. Freedom of speech is the right of a person to articulate opinions and ideas without interference or retaliation from the government. You can look up the First Amendment if you need more details on Freedom of speech.

We're not the government. That doesn't really apply. Of course we don't want names like "Larry" causing people to be banned and in most cases, that's not going to happen. If you combine it with something else that makes it offensive, then we have a problem. People get very creative. Also, this is not a mature rated game. We need to keep the content suitable for everyone. Having a high amount of people using offensive names doesn't fit in to this.
