My friend got banned for his real name

My friends ACTUAL name is Benjamin Dover. It's kind of a meme cause peiple call him "Bend over" but his name in the game was fully Benjamin Dover and he STILL got PERMA banned. Wild how your terms of service team just lazily perma bans people instead of just restricting access to creating a name. Shrinking out already small community even more.

Really lazy job guys. I know this won't get solved but I just wanted to thank them for shrinking our already small community. I get banning people for terrible names but #1 this was his real name and #2 restrict those peoples access to name creator don't ban them and make search times longer for everyone who didn't break the rules.

I know some names are getting flagged as offensive when they're not. This isn't intended. As I said before, it's the potential to use them combined with other names that causes them to be offensive. If someone contacts me here, I can normally get a non-offensive name flagged so it can be used.

We are working on bigger issues than names currently. Which is why you don't see name issues addressed in patches.

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it.

Absolutely! Id much rather EA work on gameplay issues vs naming/censoring issues. Set every name to the gamer tag for all i car if the gameplay is rock solid! Lol
thanks again!! Keep up the good work @EA_Aljo
