The Slammables Banned From WWE2K16 Network
The Slammables have been banned from using the WWE2K16 network for two weeks. They will come off suspension on July 24th.
The suspension stems from The Slammables violating 2K's user policy, in particular uploading suggestive material.
"I'm not quite sure why we've been banned," says The Slammables Director of Creating Wrestlers. "2K did not say specifically but parsing their email and putting two and two together I think we were banned because of a wrestler we were trying to create."
The wrestler in question was going to have pixelated images and blurred out words on his attire as well as a zipper across his mouth. Everything was designed to create an effect that the "broadcast" was distorting the images and words.
"We blurred out the words 'folk you' and 'cook sucker.' We pixelated images of The Beatles, Big Ben, American Idol contestants, Russell Wilson, and the Taj Mahal. We took innocent words and images and by distorting them we apparently made them inappropriate."
The Slammables take full responsibility for the error and hold no grudge against 2K although they would like to know exactly why they were banned so they can avoid such behavior in the future. The above is only speculation.
"It's kind of sad. WWE 2K16 is a violent game where one wrestler can make another one bleed. That is find, but suggesting a few words or pixelating an image is cause for suspension? I think that value system is backwards, and sadly, I think 2K is just mimicking the value systems of a small but vocal group of parents."
Slammables.com asked Stone Cold Steve Austin for comment but he just gave us the middle finger. When we asked X-Pac for a reaction, but he just chopped his crotch. Finally we approached The Godfather, but he excused himself by saying he was late for the "Ho Train."
"I saw this coming as I stirred my brew, but I didn't say anything because I'm evil!" said Zynda The Witch.
"If you can get banned for pixelated images, what's the punishment for excessively swearing at your opponents when you play Dota 2?" asked Clark Schliebe.
"I weep along with the U.S. Constitution and the other Founding Fathers," boasts George Washington.
