Hi, sorry if this isn’t the best place to put this, but I thought it’d fit.
I tried purchasing a guild charter, but when I pressed “purchase,” the menu simply closed and nothing was added to my inventory. I repeatedly tried re-entering and re-purchasing to no avail.
I’ve heard it said that it could be due to an inappropriate name (and I did indeed find that I could purchase guild charters with different names [RIP 20 silver]), but I don’t see what’s so offensive about the name “The Flamin Hot One,” or “The Flaming Hot One,” unless Cheetos has a very stingy legal team.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: and it can’t be already taken, since I doubt there’s a guild out there with either of those names, let alone both on the same server.
It could be because of one word, not necessarily all the words.
It is possible it is already taken. It isn’t really all that original. If someone has the guild character the name would be blocked, even if they haven’t completed making the guild yet.
The only word I could think of being “inappropriate” would be “Flamin”/“Flaming,” due to its potential slang use referring to orientation; even then, though, it seems rather innocuous compared to other names I’ve seen.
I suppose that’s true. Regardless, I find it incredulous that both those potential names are taken. Maybe I’m just underestimating the amount of people and thoughts there are out there.
One thing that you can try is to do a Full UI Reset to make sure it’s not just a UI issue or an addon causing it to trip up etc.
Other than that, you’re welcome to report it as a bug in the Classic Bug Report Forums.
Unfortunately, you’re probably best to just choose a new guild name if the system is blocking it as those blocks cannot be circumvented by anyone including GMs

Tried that, but to no avail. I’ll just assume it’s because there are somehow people out there with both those names.
I’ll try slightly altering it, or having a friend try instead. Beyond that, I guess there’s not much to do.
Regardless, thanks, guys, for helping! Should I mark this as “answered”/“resolved,” since it can’t go any further?
Edit: guess I’ll just have to see if my friends are alright with “The Flamin Hott One,” haha.
