Blizzard Entertainment is known to be very active in the Diablo 4 community, as player reports and unacceptable gameplay measures are monitored all the time. However, one such peculiar case surfaced today on Reddit as a user named LoGiiKz had their account silenced, which they claim to be for their game name. However, this has caused the entire subreddit to have a good laugh about it. They said:
"I guess people reported my name? Lol."
The user says that it is likely that people have reported their name, "DixieNormous," as it is apparently used as a rather explicit joke. However, they assume that some players have found that joke offensive and reported them to the developers resulting in this temporary Diablo 4 silencing.
Diablo 4 player's account silenced over their funny name, Reddit reacts
As mentioned earlier, Reddit user LoGiiKz recently got their account 'silenced' temporarily by Blizzard Entertainment. However, according to their own deduction, it might be due to their username in the game, "DixieNormous." They added that there is a chance that players have reported it to the developers, resulting in being silenced.
Although the temporary silencing is viable until July 20, 2023, LoGiiKz is not a fan of this and is perplexed by this situation. They want to know if their account's name will be changed in the future. However, Reddit saw it as an opportunity to continue the joke with even funnier names and ideas as the tense question became a subject of a hilarious discussion in the community.
A fan asked the user to delete the account and restart the game with a new character named "Dixnotsobig," which is a funny retort to the problem. Considering there is a chance that the temporary silencing was due to using an inappropriate name, "Dixnotsobig" is just a satirical suggestion presented by this user in Diablo 4 Reddit.
However, there were others who had their fair share of unusable name charges, as a user did not fret from sharing his story. According to a Reddit user named PorkrindsMcSnacky, they tried to name their character "Cakebread Chardonnay" in Lord of the Rings online.
The developers did not allow it as it had an unknown alleged hidden joke in between, which was deemed inappropriate.
Another user continued the thread by saying that "ridiculous gaming character names online have a long and glorious historical precedent." Hence, it confirms there is a huge population of fans who use such monikers as their username in games. The user also expects their Rogue character in Diablo 3 to survive amidst the Diablo 4 silence rumors.
However, there were fans that mentioned the user should not care much about this issue as the voice chat and local chat are non-existent and "the social interactions are a joke." Although this entire issue seems to be concerning initially, considering the user will have their chat re-enabled on July 20, it seems to be light.
