"StarCraft II may include one of the most versatile map editors ever released for an RTS, but that doesn't necessarily mean creative types are free to let their imaginations run wild. Big Download reports that Blizzard is actively policing custom StarCraft II maps for "inappropriate content," deleting any maps it deems offensive from its Battle.net service.
It all started when a user on the official StarCraft II forums complained that his map was taken down without warning. His custom level, Ultimate Tank Defense, allegedly contained nothing in the way of objectionable content barring a single instance of the word "badass."

As for the Ultimate Tank Defense map, it was later revealed that the level was removed because a specific wave of enemies resembled a swastika when viewed on the minimap -- not because of any foul language. The map's creators have since modified that segment and rereleased Ultimate Tank Defense on Battle.net."


I'm not sure if they wanted it to be swastika, or if it was coincidence. If so, that's a strange and slightly scary coincidence.
