Name ban? - Phoenix Freeshard

How on earth was my name Zipperhead offensive and get me banned for a day? I don't understand. Is is considered sexual?

*** Updated ***

I see, it's slang for Chinese people. Sorry! Didn't know that! I was thinking of Leatherface when I picked that name.

Ban stands. Thanks for the education.

Players are responsible for the names they choose. As per the rules:

The following types of names are subject of the enforced rules

Vile, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, sexual references as well as diseases and homonyms of these words Combinations of these words that produce an offensive result (e.g. Hugeaz, Tug McGroin, KneeGrow etc). Any and all drug references.

Any historical or religious references. (e.g. God, Jesus, Allah, Satan, Hitler, Stalin)
Names chosen with the intent of harming the reputation of or used to impersonate a Phoenix staff member.
For all the above, misspellings and alternate spellings of the word or words are also unacceptable.

1st offense: Warning and re-naming
2nd offense: Re-naming and 1-day ban
3rd offense: deletion of character and 1 week ban
4th offense: deletion of character and 4 weeks ban
5th offense: Permaban of player

Think of these number of offenses as a point system, depending on the severity of this rule violation you can get more points even on the first offense. All violating names found at the time of the rename count as a single violation with the severity being that of the worst name.
