I was one of the people who referred three friends in order to reserve my callsign when I first heard about the Beta.  Much to my surprise, I logged into CBE#2 today to find that my callsign "ObviouslyJesus" has been changed to "MechPilot5002".  How could this have happened?  To top it all off, there is apparently no way to edit this through the Hawken profile page.
So I am stuck with this name for the forseeable future, and since this is clearly a bug, someone else might come along and claim the name in the meantime, especially since the only way to notify anyone about this is a public forum, and now someone might try to scoop the name simply because it is important to me.
I could register a new account to try to claim it, but even if it worked I wouldn't be able to play the beta on the callsign I signed up to play the beta with, and specifically referred three friends to play with.
Or perhaps you're one of those cowardly companies who will ban the use of "Jesus" in people's callsigns because it's a religious figure, in addition to a fairly common name.  If this is the case, nice job informing people about it.
Why it is even possible within your database for a pilot to be renamed is beyond me.  Asking for trouble.  If they pass your validation the first time, there should be no turning back.   Fire whoever manages that.
Please restore my name to its previous state posthaste.

					I've had this name since registration was first allowed.  If they didn't want me to have 'Jesus' in my name, it's ON THEM to implement validation into their site that prevents it from entering the database.  They didn't, but they think it's good business practice to now retroactively sweep all registrations for 'Jesus'?  What if it's being used as someone's first name?  Not going to stand for this.  Hope their Twitters like being inundated with tweets about this.
