And I feel the need to bring about the common sense thought proccess versus the letter of the law approach:

WHY does Disney ban people for directing others to AIM, YIM, XFIRE, Teamspeak, Vent, etc?

BECAUSE those third party programs allow POTCO players to bypass Disney rules and language filters.

Also, based on naming conventions, it also seems to me it would be dependant upon who is reviewing files on any day. Some days one Disney employee will disapprove a name, but on a different day another employee will approve it. This goes even for names that are clearly NOT against the written rules.

Also, do realize that Disney doesn't ban for using a third party VOIP because they can't tell you are using a 3rd party VOIP unless you talk about it in game.

I believe you follow the rules the best if you understand the intent behind the rules. As for third party VOIP, the intent is for players NOT to use it. They don't ban for using it because they can't tell or prove. But just tell someone to get on Vent and WHOOOOSH! Yer gone.

Think about it.

And yes, I realize TBC's "official" view on this.
