Inappropriate clan name

I’ve seen a few of these in the beta, but I wonder what the effect of reporting such a name is? Who bears the responsibility? The creator of the clan? The entire clan? Only the officers? And what are the repercussions? Change of name? Ban from the game for a certain period of time?

What is inappropriate name? There should be freedom of speech

Player behavior in Blizzard games is not rated, unlike the pre-made game content. Player behavior has to follow a very family friendly policy.

Players have to follow the same Code of Conduct for all Blizzard games which means no profanity, masked profanity, slurs, etc.

Penalties vary depending on account history of infractions. It would be the GM responsible, and it can range from a name change to a suspension. Account closure is always an option for severe or repeat infractions. It would have to be pretty bad, but they always reserve that option.

That exists to protect people from arrest by the Govt for speaking out. It does not mean private property owners have to let you on their property if you violate the rules you agreed to. Blizzard can remove people from their game if those people can’t follow the rules.

“freedom of speach” doesn’t mean you can say anything without consequences.
Your freedom ends where the freedom of other person begins. Thats how society lives.
