Captaingoodguy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Here in Canada its sometimes a slang for male genitalia, so that's probably why they block it...just a guess :wink: Goals: 80/80 Range, 75/90 Strength, 77/85 Attack, 64/76 Fishing and crafting 31k natures (o.O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinkansen1 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I remember a few months ago that the letter "k" in my username got censored. "shin*ansen1" Told Jagex about that via complaint. Oh, yeah! I almost forgot, the letter "s" in "Icthlarin's Little Helper" gets censored as well. I have yet to tell Jagex about this. "Nothing in Runescape is free, not even ashes!"

topide Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 "Wang" gets filtered because it's slang for your manhood. I'm chinese so I understand that some asian people have this last name, which means something else in cantaneese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
