Suspended for having the name Warrenbuffet

As Kyzera mentioned, as well as the quote she provided, our policies are reactive in nature so they would need to be reported for them to be reviewed. Let me make a few points on this.

First, there is no abuse of the name report option. Regardless if one or one hundred people report a name, it only generates a report for our staff to review. The report itself does not take any action nor does it make our decision for us. Our staff reviews the name report and makes the decision to change it based on our policies and procedures.

Second, as I’m not currently in the office I can’t review your record but generally speaking, outside of using certain vulgarities within a name, we tend to try to provide an education for first offenses. A suspension is usually applied if such warnings have been provided already. This isn’t a guarantee, but it is fairly common. If you received a suspension that usually means that you have been warned against bad names in the past. Not saying that is what happened, but that is the more common scenario.

To be clear, no it is not. There is no Classic Customer Support forum and this forum is not exclusive to only those folks who play the current expansion. We are Customer Support and we are here to try to provide what advice and guidance we can for new players, returning players, those who are currently in a Battle for Azeroth as well as those who are exploring the yesteryear of Classic.
