Både Microsoft, Nintendo og PlayStation har ganske strikse regler når det gælder navngivningen af profiler, men alligevel sniger der sig naturligvis profilnavne ind som eksisterer lige på kanten. Det kan desuden også ske, at en forbruger får et enormt tæt forhold til sin profil efterfølgende igennem trophies, save-filer og selvfølgelig digitale spil.
Særligt Sony er kendt for at være hård når det gælder bandlysningen af brugere der forbryder sig imod brugsreglerne, men nu er dette blevet taget til et nyt ekstrem - de har nemlig bannet en otte år gammel konto.
En Reddit-bruger har forklaret at hans PSN-konto for nylig blev bandlyst på livstid.
"This morning I received an e-mail from PlayStation informing me that my account was permanently banned due to violations of the PlayStation Network Terms. Of course they didn't bother to inform me in the e-mail why exactly I was banned so I had to call PlayStation Support. In that call they told me that my account I was banned for life because my online ID violates the Code of Conduct."
"My online ID is (was) KingMADAFAKA. I admit that it is a stupid username, but I created when I was only 12. I asked them if there was a way to change the username in order not to loose every game that I had on my account (my FIFA account was amazing, I had a really good Ultimate Team) and all the money that I invested in the account, but they said that I can not change the online ID, therefore my account is banned for life and I have to create a new one from scratch. Is it really fair to ban someone for a username that PlayStation accepted 8 years ago? Can someone please help me?"
