Is there an appeal process for banning? Is it a permanent ban?

I agree that it is distracting and annoying to run into people whose handles were chosen based solely on shock value. I would rather not be playing against people named that as well.

I have run into people who interpreted my own handle as a reference to pot or crack or something. It isn't, but it could be interpreted that way. I am at risk of being banned because my handle is interpreted that way by some players? Do I need to worry about defending this handle?

I would like to suggest that you make it a suspension period until the handle is changed, and not an outright ban. Some of your customers may simply not have read this notice on your website prior to choosing a name. I have lots of iPhone games, but I *very* rarely visit their websites.

This just seems a little draconian to me.
