First of, have a look at this link to know what this is all about: Link.

Anyone heard about this and know why they are doing it? What qualifies as inappropriate...? I can understand that they want to clean up the mess of maps that might be offensive to certain groups or religions, but when maps like this one gets removed I'm starting to feel a little bit worried...

For what I could find these are the rules of what isn't allowed, but they aren't really that specific of what it could be... Considering the whole game is a big war I can't understand the extreme violence part...

Imagine a map called "France vs Canada", featuring the following line of text:
" OK, ladies, let's go kick that Barbie-Ken lookalike's sorry gay ass ".


Feel offended yet?
I sure hope you do.

Because that map would be refused for all of the following reasons:
- Has any racial/ethnic connotations
- Has any national connotations
- Refers to extremely violent real life actions or events
- Refer to any aspect of sexual orientation pertaining to themselves, other players, or in-game characters
- Is an inappropriate reference to human anatomy or bodily functions
- Insultingly refer to other characters, players, Blizzard employees, or groups of people, be they in the game or external
- Is a mildly inappropriate references to human anatomy or bodily functions
- Has neutral or positive racial/ethnic/national connotations
- Is trademarked/licensed by a company or an individual

And I probably missed some :D
Based on a quick read of StarCraft II Inappropriate Content Policies.

Well, nothing new really, as they already announced that the first time around they talked about mapping (nearly 2 years ago).
