Banning offensive names

Your playing with fire! You got warned. You should listen

If you see an offensive name ingame, you may report them for it. Blizzard will not retroactively act upon others because you happen to go into a Blizzard Office and set attention to yourself by picking a fight with half the forum.

Doesn’t matter - if you want to report a name, you’d need to do it in person in game. Even then, they will action someone abusing the reporting system.

Naming
Names are subject to the same rules established above. Any name the player has the ability to customize—such as player names, BattleTags, and guild names—must be appropriate and inoffensive. Any name that violates our standards or disrupts the community will be changed, and additional limitations may be placed on the offending account per our discretion.

Take note that acceptable names are determined by player reports and Blizzard’s decision, and role-playing servers may have distinct standards for using game-appropriate names.

You report by right clicking in game.

Armory searches may not be up to date, and should not be considered for reporting.

So you are fine with the name change you received then? With that line of thinking at least.

Report names that are against the ToS. Simple as.

So, despite being reprimanded already, your strategy is now to antagonize the person who reprimanded you? What could possibly go wrong?

And you’ve been told. You need to report them in-game.

Go in game, if you see a name that may be against the rules, you click on them, right click their icon and report the name.

well thats great moderation by blizzard then! needs to be a way to report on the armory i cant be on every realm

You report them! Report names that you think violate policy! Be thankful the Forum support agent flagged your names with out giving a penalty for those names! I said do not play with fire as that Forum Support agent should not be messed with. You would not like her when Annoyed, Remember Bruce Banner!

Well, then… I guess you can’t report every name then, can you?

The phrase ‘don’t poke the bear’ most definitely applies to sleepy pandas, too.
