To whomever the web master is,

You might consider either not posting your customers' usernames or at least give them the option to not be listed. My daughter had talked about buying the tool and was going to use a username similar to her game account name. Since you post the usernames, it makes it that much easier for the game developers to investigate your customers. I work in IT security and that's what I would do if I were them. Just a friendly heads up.

you work in IT, yet you choose the same name as your game account name.

tesco's IT security?

you should never choose the same name as your account name out of common sense.


You can always ask one of the admins to change your name as it is the same as your account name if your worried

No I didn't but my daughter almost did. If she did, how many others probably have?

Blizzard does not ban if you post your world of warcraft account name here. they simply do not care enough.

only ways to get banned is:
#1 get reported.
#2 get caught by wow developer running around randomly in azeroth.
#3 software detection.

even if you post screenshot of your character botting you wont get banned ;|

I like the pink zutto, what about if you post a video? I always see people fuzzing out their names in the video's they post..

[felucia]

We dont know?

Try it with a trial Account, but I can guarantee you (like zutto said) they dont care enough.

a red bold line have now been added when you register saying:

!!! Do NOT use your InGame name as forum name !!!

Puuuuuh its very hard for us to start thinking for you or your daughter.
I am sorry but we cannot make the system fail proof for everyone ^^
Talk to your daughter how internet and accounts work thats a good investment for the future.

I added a red line to the registration form to NOT use the InGame name as forum name but 99% percent of the people will not read this anyhow ^^

btw. I see only a little problem in having the forum name like the ingame name. How should blizz check that the name registered here is the same of a bot? Should they registere here and monitor all used names and compare them with account or charnames? I don't think they will do or have interest in doing so ^^
