I'm sorry but I couldn't help but laugh. :D

This most likely (and by 'most likely' i mean 99%) will be fixed before release. Atleast I hope so! This is beyond rediculous.

I was unable to name my account "sireto" or "siretu". I don't know why that would be prohibited though. "Smack" is also ridiculous.

If they're going to censor, they should at least give us the option to turn it on and off, instead of making us...

Is Starcraft II going for a T rating? If not, this isn't really necessary for then to do.

Yeah, I'd hate to see a game where you play as a character in a racistic place and your goal is to stop the racism and bring equality in to the society. Such a map would be unbelievably unethical. Oh, and I'd also hate to see maps with such topics as killing - such an action is simply not acceptable! No one should be allowed to play games with such offensive, monstrous topics in them!

Or how about making the filtering optional to the players, so if they have it on they won't see such maps, and the people less afraid of being offended by maps having the word "Smack" or the phrase "Racism is bad" in them will still be able to play them?

You CAN turn it off. Check in your options. :p

I wish they would improve it for the people that use it, but since its entirely optional, it doesn't bother me.

@Siretu: I think blizzard doesn't allow "Sir" in their names, or any other title. I don't know why, but I presume they don't want you to proclaim yourself as having a certain title like "King" "Lieutenant" or anything else like that.

As I can tell, this thread is discussing censorship on map submitting, not the in-game censorship.

Back on the topic, it's pretty funny how they censor words, but they have models like this in the game:
