soldier name banned?

Hi guys and gals!

1. WickedOne666
2. I don't, sorry
3. your BF2142 server
4. for some time now
5. here it comes:

I've been banned from your BF2142 server for quite some time now. With only a few good servers left to play (including your's ;)) its getting quite annoying recently. I somehow figured that my soldier's name apparently triggers your server's bad name filter because a newly created soldier can join the server just fine.
The usual nickname I use is WickedOne sadly this nick is almost always taken by someone else :) So I just put some numbers at the end. Because 123 is just boring I put 666 at the end... But it appears that your name filter doesn't like the 666. I'm of course not related to any satanish stuff or something! It's just a number I picked when I created my soldier :(

I know it's much to ask but is there any way to remove 666 from your bad nick list or put my soldier name on a white list or something? That would be really great! This soldier is my only soldier and I don't want to play without my unlocks :(

Not too sure about there being a name filter? Angelfire may have to answer that question.
I will check tonight if there was a reason for the ban, Cannot do anything at the moment as I'm at work :)
In the meantime Anglefire or one of the other admins may be able to answer your question.

Cannot see any bans under the alias WickedOne666. Have you tried to create a new soldier and connect to server? you dont have to delete your present soldier.

Yep, I created another soldier and tried to connect. That works fine.

That's what is written in my punkbuster client logfile: [04.06.2011 22:20:50] Bad (Disallowed) Name

So it's totally related to my soldier's name.

I know that I don't need to delete my soldier in order to create a new one but I'm trying to reach Brig. Gen. before the game is completely dead and playing with a new soldier wont help that :d
If it's too much of work for you to figure that out don't stress it. I just wanted to give it a try. Thanks for your help so far though!

Apparently punkbuster dosn't read the whole nick in the badname list since your hit on Wicked-Nathan why I don't know. Have removed the nameban and you should be able to jion our BF2142 server tomorrow.

Then it isn't from our server since no files contains your nick or part of it anymore. When I removed the nameban the server was also rebooted. I will reboot the server one more time if that dosn't work, then it isn't something from our side.

I will be back on sunday going on a trip to germany in a couple of hours.

Nope, tested it several times this evening. It still says Bad (Disallowed) Name :( And I double-checked it's the right server I'am speaking off. Checked the name, checked the IP, connected to the IP which is given here on the website. It's definitely your BF2142 Moving Titan server!

Every other soldier name I created works without a problem!

Maybe there's someone on the bad nick list with "One" or "666" in the name??
