where my IP was banned outright because I typed in "Boris" as a placeholder character name? I didn't intend to finish creating that character; I just wanted to see the list of classes avaliable to a wood-elf.

When I brought it up with Umiron, he said "yeah a Boris from Russian IP, I thought it was a troll". He unbanned the IP but I took my lesson: Russian IPs are subject to especial scrutiny and can be banned on a minor suspicion without double-checking.

Whereas a character named Boris was later created from a non-russian IP and was allowed to actually play the game!

At best, we are second-class citizens in your CF. Bye.
