His name was Sleven, apparently this names availability was unintended. I'll never log onto that guy again, just thought it was a little funny.

It was part of the title of the movie "Lucky # Slevin" (as well as the character in it) if that counts as something licensed?:


Trademarks

This category includes both clear and masked names which:

•Are trademarked/licensed by a company or an individual


That's the only thing I see in the naming policy they could have picked.

Edit: I guess that's not it - it isn't spelled the same. Yours was Sleven and that movie/char was Slevin -- unless there's another one with Sleven or that counts as a 'masked name'.

I see all sorts of ripped off names everywhere in game and they haven't changed.

They'll only change if people report them. Bliz handles most of their "law enforcement" passively - they wait for players to make a fuss, and then they act. It's the same way for most bots.
