I see Spring saying that using "zeta" in the future would result in content removal. I don't see the evidence of them saying the user would be banned. I think this issue is well out of proportion and doesn't warrant an article from El Reg.
Spring probably gets users uploading designs that contain trademark infringement all day long (imagine all the Disney properties people love to play with.), and they need an automated mechanism to deal with it. Affinity Client Services wants the Greek letters flagged so they can protect the brand of sororities and fraternities. I'm sure they registered their keywords with Spring because of people actually misusing their trademarks and if you don't police your trademarks, you can legally lose some of your trademark protection.
This design got reviewed and approved. Nothing to see here.
