Oh wait I forgot hormygorilla when did that change
The rules have never changed. We have never been allowed to use sexual references, innuendo, profanity, masked profanity, etc. Not since 2004. If reported, that can get an account action.
Again, I REALLY donât think that is what this is about.

I thought hormy meant a forest creature
So youâve gone from âI didnât name it thatâs the name it came withâ to âwhen did it change to Hormygorillaâ to âI thought Hormy meant forest creatureâ (and a quick google has me wondering how in the world youâd get that idea).

Thatâs my friends photo he told me his name was hormy
Just stop it already. Youâve already been caught lying. Itâs Friday and you need to find something better to do.

Iâm not lying I forgot I changed the name of the pet years ago thereâs a difference
Folks, the argument about the pet name is really not important.
- It is unlikely that is what caused the penalty. This is a chat penalty, not a name penalty.
- It does not matter WHY the OP named it that, they can change it next time they are in game now that they know they should.
- Beating the name issue into the ground does not address the topic -
The only answer here is that the OP needs to wait on their ticket, or for a Blue to clarify what chat policy was broken.

Just admit if you named it something inappropriate mate. Itâs juvenile yeah, but weâre not going to judge you if you say âyeah I stuffed up and named it something crudeâ (well, anyone reasonable wonât)
Iâm saying this because if youâre looking for help on why you may have gotten the ban, it helps us if youâre truthful.

Itâs a Forest guardian I canât prove my friend made that art as well and that itâs a creature he has called it
Yes, it has. I think itâs time to lock this one up.

That doesnât matter, it can also be masked profanity. Next time youâre in game just change it to something more appropriate.
Itâs highly unlikely that that is what caused this issue anyway.

well Iâm banned I canât get into game at this moment I have to be unbanned and yes I will 100% change the name when Iâm unbanned
That doesnât appear to be entirely accurate. Youâve had multiple warnings previously starting with a couple in December of 2022, then a couple more in 2023 and finally with two this year, the last resulting in the closure of the account.
Understand that penalties are not instant, the reports they result from may be from days or weeks prior. From what I can see from this last one you were online on 5/26 and were reported for some chat in General Discussion where you were calling another disparaging names along with using profanity. I also see some colorful chat on the 16th.
Social penalties tend to start out small, a silence at first, but in order to help dissuade the behavior that turns to suspensions of game time in increasing amounts until finally the account is closed. That isnât what we want to happen, obviously, but at a certain point that is where it leads.

Iâm not sure how it was the 26th when during the 26th i was moving to Mayfield and my computer was off during this time bc I was moving to Mayfield
Fyi Blizz has logs showing when you logged in to the exact minute and second. Plus they log IPs (to help with telling if someone is hacked). Either way arguing with Vrak wonât help, you need to appeal (unless theyâve told you no more appeals will be accepted)

Yes I understand that but how can it be possible bc most time I use my druid
The time is in UTC, so would be 5/26 3pm PDT.
The IP used is consistent with what had been logging in for about a week prior.
