What is exactly inappropriate names?

What are inappropriate names exactly?

Have heard that people have got their names reported because they have Trump in their name so I wonder that people with Biden also have to change their names?
I saw 1 player today with the name Biden but could not report in for inappropriate name.
Can I do it after or I have to wait until I see that player again?

Don’t bother. Blizz has gone full woke.

No they haven’t.

People just like to try and attention seek with “funny” names.

Just done be a knob about it and, don’t make it political and get on with your life. Easy.

litterally anything

if anyone is offended they can report you for anything and blizzard will uphold it

Easy solution. Don’t have a name that can be construed as being offensive by anyone. Then it is never an issue.

It’s an American game so as long as freedom of expression still holds then I don’t see why someone can’t use Trump2020 or SleepyJoe as their tags :man_shrugging:

But this is Blizzard so who knows, 20 or so reports and bam, you’re banned for a political username which some snowflakes didn’t like. That’s the world we live in.

It is easy. Just dont be “that guy”.

Simple name move on.

This probably isn’t the platform for some meme political statement… so just call yourself cake and move on.

when everything can be considered offensive… then you literally can’t avoid it…

But everything can be considered funny.

It is all subjective. And usually people will only choose to take offence if you are behaving like a knob and they just want something to attack you for.

So it is easy, don’t be a knob, and don’t be that guy with a dumb name. Easy.

A knob is a knob on such things like a draw or a door. A nob is like a dick. In my opinion anyway. Nice use of a letter that is not pronounced in English though.

Actually a knob is a round lumb or ball… where as a nob is a person of wealth.

Maybe double check these things first lol.

Maybe you should cut the attitude since they were right, you can have a door knob and if you call someone a nob it means a dick

No, the dictionary definitions are pretty clear.

Knob

  • A rounded lump or ball, especially as the end of a surface of something
  • a prominent round hill

Nob

  • a person of wealth or high social position.
  • a person’s head (I didn’t know that definition lol)

So at no point does it actually mean “dick” and is misappropriated.

No attitude, just facts.

She’s right, in the UK, a “nob” is also slang for a :eggplant:

Slang is not a definition though. Just a misappropriation that bleeds through.

A word being used for something, does not equate to it meaning that.

I could spend my life calling a loaf of bread a ream… People would eventually begin to accept thats what I meant… but it isn’t what it means.

weird because you’re being a massive nob lol
