The tl;dr story: Some rapscallion man-child reported Bumble's name as offensive / GMs did a trawl for names and someone got overzealous (I think it's the former though, as Bumble has had this character since 2008, so Bumble smelt something was not right).
Bumble got demoted to the land of 'Gallente Citizen 20122401' or somesuch and, as you can guess my friends, Bumble was not a happy moustachio.
However, Bumble took the correct path of action and petitioned it. Bumble knew that something was amiss.
So Bumble petitioned it, and waited...
...and waited...
...and waited...
...and finally BLAMMO! Bumble's good name was restored to it's former glory, along with a partial explanation as to what had happened (still don't know how it was picked up though, probs never will), and all is right with the world and with Bumble.
So this thread is just a thank you to GM Sparkle and the other GMs who actually read the petitions. I had to wait a while (a little less than a week, I think), but I got it sorted. Thank you Sparkles!
PS. Why talk in the third person? Because I'm so happy that my name has been restored to me and I just want to shout it from the rooftops! \/

I, too, am happy to see you restored and back in all your former glory. Looking forward to some quality posting that will raise the average quality of this board significantly. Nice to have you on board again, Captain Bumble. -.- |

Ta muchly kind stranger...I'm not entirely sure who you really are but I have some good ideas as to your identity! and thank you for your kind words too, of course.
Now, I must get to the Trollamatron and produce some quality posts - it's what Bladeddevil would have wanted (God rest his soul)!
Remember: if it's not a Bumblefck post, it's probably good

Cool story bro? ;)
So that's why the API suddenly saw your name as a new entry... would explain it.

It's a shame this took any time at all or that it happened in the first place. A name can be really important to a person, and more importantly to how people view that person. Why should someone trust a Racial Citizen 12345678 with director access, or remember it was Racial Citizen 12345678 that helped raise your corporation from dust and not Racial Citizen 87654321? This is a pretty serious thing, I'd rather lose all my ISK and items than lose my name for all the shame that it bears.
I don't hope for people to get upset about something CCP (and the people it empowers) very often, but if there's something that people need to raise hell about, it's indiscretions like this. Change "Tracking Disruptors" to "Weapon Disruptors" (to include missiles) https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=61502 |

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Basically, when I logged in that fateful day and saw the rather terse message from GM Spiro, I'd kinda lost the will to play with this character anymore. I mean, I felt like a huge part of my identity had been ripped away, and was left with this hollow shell.
Sounds melodramatic but that's how I felt And you're right, these matters should really be given the highest priority (there wasn't even a shitting section on the petition system for things like this, so I almost had to close my eyes and stick a pin in it).

To be honest when I read your name it always translates here in my head as bumble 'fu' followed by a 'ck'. Of course it should be pronounced as bumbleEFCEEKAY.
But I've seen and reported more offensive names then yours. So I think you got your name rightfully restored. -- This is not even a damage control blog. This is just right-click > self-destruct. (Abdiel Kavash) |

At the beginning of each year, CCP sends all the player data to chribba, and chribba decides who is allowed to keep on playing in the coming year..that`s some scandinavian new years tradition.

I am deeply offended by your name, and will be petitioning it based on it's clearly offensive content, as well as the bias and unfair exemption that you have been granted. One which others have been denied. |

I'm kinda surprised you got it back. I have no issue with your name, but I can see how it would be offensive. In fact, it seems to be purposely offensive. |

Good to see you, man! Even if your name conjures images of Bumblebee, I don't think it would be the same here without you on all your glory.
Though I must admit, I could go for a generic Caldari Citizen name right about now... If you bring down a giant, you're a hero. If you kill something weak-even if it has to die-then you will endure contempt. |

Exactly - we are literate gentlemen and as such have no idea what these words mean (and therefore cannot be offended by them)

Hey, thanks! I admit, there is a touch of the Apis about my name, although that just proves that I am warm and fuzzy!
