Shane for Wax Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 If that's the reason, I will laugh SO hard. Then cry. Mostly because I DONT SPEAK GERMAN. :whistle: Luckily we people on here know multiple languages amongst us. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairyBaby556 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Couldn't find anything. But I learned Dereon means Bird in Hebrew! Woo for education! Ugh I hate rules. Let us know if you find out why. I'll keep looking. Google knows everything, so I'm sure we'll find out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 I FOUND OUT WHY IT WAS REMOVED!!!!!! :D So I posted about this on an LJ community, and just now another woman posted that her pet was also removed. Her pets name had 'hure' in it too... Well, 'hure' is an inappropriate slur in German. If you're old enough, UD.com it. But still, how the heck would we know that if we speak a lick of German. :angry: And I'm not sure how Dhureon even relates to hure but WHATEVER. Holy sensitive German mods.

Shane for Wax Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hm... yes, that is true. I forgot about 'hure'. However, there is no reason why it being embedded in a name is a reason to remove it. After all, 'assets' has a bad word in it but you don't see it censored, now do you? If you're gonna start censoring names because they have bad words in them, might as well remove DocGregHouse from my pet list because of the portion of House that is an insult.

hrtbrk Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 No kidding. Kass Basher should be removed then. :rolleyes_anim: /sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane for Wax Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hahaha. They already had to change it from Whack-A-Kass. They'd have to completely remove Kass from the system. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 That's extremely lame if they removed your pet for that reason. There are so many words out there that contain naughty works, in many languages. I guess you will just have to wait to see what TNT has to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 That's crazy! You should fight it. Like Meghan and Shane for Wax said... lots of names include parts of bad words. It's not even on purpose. It just happens. And it's in GERMAN. Very few people, except those fluent in German, would know that. It's possible even some of those might not. (Seriously, I've spoken English my whole life, and there's words that I never knew were slurs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondZ Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 if you pounded it instead of transferred, i bet you someone tried for it didn't get it got made and reported the name so no one can have it. I've seen quite a people do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler. Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I don't get why they're doing that, do they really expect everyone to be fluent in German o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 There's hope! I've found several other pets AND usernames with 'hure' in them, and they're still active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 There's hope! I've found several other pets AND usernames with 'hure' in them, and they're still active. Great, def use that in your case. We want you to finally have your purple Yurble! Hm, I wonder if any of my pets are suspiciously hiding crude words in other languages in their names. *stares suspiciously* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrtbrk Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 ^That's the other woman I was talking about :D Still haven't heard anything from them... haven't even looked at it yet. :( Now, also on the same community, it happened to ANOTHER woman on there, too. She used a real word and it was still removed. <_< We've been finding a bunch of names with hure in them, so hopefully we'll have our pets & items returned.

Shane for Wax Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 They have moderators who speak German but I'm not sure if any of the main TNT staff do. You would think if someone on the TNT payroll knew German they would also know the inclusion of the word 'hure' was accidental... it's like censoring the word 'cocktail' (Which some parental control filters DO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
