Why are you banning USA in callsigns?

Dude Joined: Feb 07, 2003 Posts: 10 Location: USA

I have a callsign that reflects an old squadron I fly with the name USA in it and it says I cannot join because of "badwords" in my callsign. Nothing vulgar is in my callsign I assure you as it has worked in previous days and weeks. I also have a friend with a similar callsign, having USA in their callsign, and he gets the same error.

Also can't say Iraq or Polticial? What the hell if this is to do with the war what about the other 50 something countries part of it. Come on this is too much.

Whats going on here?

S~ Centurian_369th, and hello Jiri,
I too have a login with USA in my name. Although I respect the right of Jiri to request that some topics are better off left off a gaming server, I am very upset about my country's name being censored. I am an American, from the USA, that is... the United States of America. No one will ever censor me from saying those words, or using them in my callsign on some silly little game.
This censorship and hatred of the USA is beyond what I am willing to tolerate from a site that is not banning the words, France, Germany, Russia, Nazi, and Hitler. (It is a shame that such well written software is written by a man who lives in a country liberated by Western democracies from the oppressive rule of the Soviet Union, and who feels it ok to censor the name of the country, that more than any other, is most directly responsible for him living in a free country.)
Remove my login/membership from your site and your Hyperlobby program access, and I will fly on a less-technically sophisticated, but more tolerant flying lobby.... Ubi.com.
I sincerely hope you are ignored by other Americans. But, as a free-thinking American, it is up to each and ever one of them to decide whether or not to tolerate your intolerance.

Regards,

this is a load of bollox really. And I'm not one who could be accused of supporting the USA in this thing, but still. This is too much.

Jiri,
"USA" may have been enabled, but the "problem" is not fixed. My boycott of Hyperlobby stands: I will not fly here again.

American... PROUD American.
(As Centurian_369th so aptly noted: there is a difference!)
