Blizzard sent me an email with the list of bad words that caused Nexus Word Wars to be banned. Apparently, there was more offensive words on my dictionary, such as "jesus."
I know this post is already a bit old, but I hope that something has happend in the meantime. I have not seen Nexus Word Wars anywhere, so I will assume it is still banned.
It's of course ridiculous, banning a map because of a lesbian word. (and to some religious ones. Although if you include jesus, you also should include horus, vishna, krishna, mythas etc. as well ;) )
In any case: If it interests anybody, it should be common knowledge that Blizzard has a track record for getting into trouble because of ganging up on homosexuals. See:
I'm waiting them to contact me. They haven't contact me yet.
BY THE WAY, THE NWW DICTIONARY IS AVAIABLE FOR DOWNLOAD AT: http://forums.sc2mapster.com/general/general-chat/13585-file-nww-dictionary
Bummer. Hopefully they don't take too long!

Ahh good, at least they are responding to some degree.
p.s. Theres no such thing as bad publicity, so you might find your map becomes even more popular with the attention it has recieved :)

It is no surprise they are again doing such nonsense here. It is rather unfortunate. Can't you publish the game under a new name?

Bad thing about assuming is that you sometimes end up wrong;p. Nexus word wars was restored.
As for gays.. Yuck

Nexus Word Wars was indeed unbanned. But it was unbanned with popularity 0. You can find it around page 15. :)
Oh god RodrigoAlves ... dont temp the Colt
on a side Note I have seen Debates working its way up. I like how you have the Variants say "Nerds" "Only"
Since when was the word "dyke" offensive? I didn't even know what it meant until I read this thread.
That just dyking sucks!
