I'm not sure what the creator did to get it unbanned. There are no more curse words in the map, so perhaps that was part of the agreement. http://sc2ranks.com/us/388259/GosuSheep

VonLego Profile Joined June 2010 United States 515 Posts #8 Original map simply imputed the words from an electronic dictionary totaling over 30,000 words. Creator felt it was unreasonable to read through that many words, in which I'd have to agree with him. "Dyke" was the word referenced on the banning.

wasnt using curse words. it was using words in the dictionary, which could potentially be used as insults or potentially be offensive.

Oh wow, that is seriously hardcore censoring.

Blizzard really needs to limit their influence to actually offensive things, not just dictionary words.

Why would you need to remove 'kill', what have you been doing playing this game >_> Oh wow, that is seriously hardcore censoring.Blizzard really needs to limit their influence to actually offensive things, not just dictionary words.Why would you need to remove 'kill', what have you been doing playing this game >_>

Blizzard pointed out the word "dyke" to him, so I can understand why he is being cautious.



Even Wikipedia says that dyke is not commonly used as an insult now and is more of a self-identification term for lesbians now.

Also I laughed so hard at the words being removed particularly " Spermatogensis " since when have people been so scared of basic biological terms? ^O^
