False reports flagging name change and no help from support

That is against the game rules, even though it is mild. You are going to end up with a suspension instead of a free name change if you keep changing it back.

Inappropriate Language

This category includes language and/or links to websites containing such language or images which:

  • Are a mildly inappropriate reference to human anatomy or bodily functions
  • Are otherwise considered objectionable
  • Bypass the Mature Language filter

If you see other names that are also not appropriate for the game, please be sure to report them.

Repeating the names that were not appropriate for the game, is also not appropriate for the forums. The same code of conduct applies across ALL Blizzard’s games and platforms.

The forum code of conduct does the best job going into detail.

Not to be crass OP, but coming here to balk about your punishment and then about others names will achieve zero.

On your punishment, you have two choices: either appeal or don’t.

As for other player names, report if you feel they’re in violation; blizzard will get to them.

You got flagged because u got reported those players will get there name changed when a GM gets to the reports they will be treated like u or worse depending if they have a history.

If u have multiple toons with questionable names id self report them to avoid harsher penalties.

I would highly advise changing it back to teh same name thats a realy bad thing to do.

They have yet to despite being reported for days. But I speak and Instantly get removed and flagged.

Just go into classic and you will understand why this is frustrating.

If it’s been flagged, that’s Blizzard telling you it’s not appropriate. That seems like the best reason in the world to change it. If you don’t, you can expect to have your account suspended the next time the name is flagged (and I promise you, it will be flagged again).

Again, you didn’t get reported and removed instantly. It takes time to get to a GM. What happened the minute you got actioned is not what caused you to be hit with a social penalty.

Their reasoning is the community.
The classic community that has far worse names, disgusting discussions publicly all the time. But my name is wrong

To jump off this a bit:

If your toon’s name isn’t allowed in game, then why do you think it’d be a good idea to post it on the forums?

This thread may also be relevant to your interests. You are not the only one getting flagged and penalized for inappropriate anatomy references.

But it is allowed? There is nothing in the rules that states I cant and its allowed in game

There is. The rule has been linked.

In this case it likely is the reason. When a name is judged to be inappropriate they put it on a list so if the account remake that name, and gets reported again for that same name, it will auto process that. Vrak has talked a bit about that before in here publicly.

One more reason is is a bad idea to just rename the char the same thing that the GMs already said was not ok for the game.

The reasoning is the EULA and code of conduct you agreed to.

You’re going to do what you’re going to do. Just remember these two phrases:

  • Play silly games, win silly prizes.
  • Fool around and find out.

If any of that was true, the name wouldn’t have been flagged now, would it?

Best of luck to you.

If you keep trying the same name , your suspensions will just get longer. Plus they will ask you for at least three name choices and they will decide out of your choices what name is acceptable and set that name for your character and take it out of your hands.

It’s not unfair. The same rules apply to everyone. Whether or not you want to accept that, it is the case. Other accounts who get names reported will receive an action provided it does indeed violate the rules. They simply do not send out messages when that occurs, as it is not your account in that case. You said you were suspended over this, so you have a history. I would quit while you are behind and not dig any deeper. They’ve banned people for social penalty in the past, if you played for 18 years I’d imagine you don’t want to lose your account over this

Report them. This is like a speeding ticket. You got caught. Others also speeding, or doing other things, does not mean you get a free pass. They will also be penalized when reported and caught. Will everyone be caught? No. That is just not realistic.

You don’t get a pass though just because others have not been caught yet. Your name is not appropriate and you can either change it or deal with escalating consequences.

This is the part you were reported for and the GM agreed with.

If you are reading the CS forums here at all today, you will see many others who have suspensions and penalties for names, language/spamming, etc. You are not alone.

Think everyone should stop replying to the OP, this is going no where fast.
