Is it already taken? Are you getting an error message?

oh it wasn’t taken, it got a profanity warning.
“profanity” is more of a generic message when it comes to names. Some part of that name isn’t allowed. It could be the “long” portion or the “stocking” part…if it’s black listed, then you just have to choose something else.

that’s just the issue i have what could possibly have resulted in literally ANY of THAT getting blacklisted lol
WoW has been around a very long time…you’d be surprised how people get creative and abuse certain parts of names.

I’d self-report that name. Account actions stack and your next might end up with an account suspension.

the word King is banned, apparently.

Cant detect anything wrong with that name at all. I couldnt even think of something inapropriate to associate that with.

As Topheron said “king” is forbidden

Change it to Longstoqueen and you will be set. For other incomprehensible reasons, “King” is blacklisted.

Pretty much what a couple other posters reported and I don’t see you wagging your finger at them.
Green text got you that worked up?
They never claimed to be - in this thread at least.
Come at me with erroneous white knighting accusations. Just trying to get folk to calm down. Have a Snickers.

Stop trying to be edgy and pick a normal name.

Moved this one over so I could respond.
I agree, it is most likely King in the name, or is already in use.
I’m not seeing any - anywhere, so it’s likely the filter hitting on the King part.
That’s an automatic filter on creation. Titles (as has been mentioned) aren’t allowed.
I’m afraid that’s the system and isn’t something we can just override.

Forum Support Agents are not allowed to post on those Discussion forums. If they wish to explain a policy to a poster - who was asking about it - they are required to move the thread to the CS forum.
In this case, the purpose was to verify the naming rules and filters to help the OP understand why the name they wanted was not accepted. This is a Support function, not part of gameplay discussion.
Now, if the OP wants to make a suggestion the policy be changed to allow titles as part of names, they could certainly make a new post in that forum. Suggestions for Devs are what go in the Discussion forums and where the Community Managers collect feedback.
