Hey, I was in a group and somebody had a bad name and when I reported him he got DC'd/offline and his name changed from his bad name to PlayerSQMXJMJ, does that mean he was banned or something? lol

No, it means he was kicked from the game for violating naming policy and forced to change his name. The "PlayerSQMXJMJ" is just a placeholder.

Some names are very objectively bad, and I'll definitely report them, independent of me being offended or not. Originally Posted by Hellcleaver

Guys, he had an actual bad name, it was from ww2.... unbelievable that you have the impression I randomly report someone for a name. He had an actual bad name that is not allowed, AT ALL.

It's ok you did fine. One report is not enough for that to happen, so he was reported multiple times and you did what normal people should be doing - reporting inappropriate names. Originally Posted by Qnubi

There's no such thing as objective bad or good. They are moral stances that are highly subjective. Originally Posted by Nevcairiel

No, buddy, there ARE objectively bad names that get changed. It's not about psychology or feelings here - some things indeed have no place in games with age rating. Originally Posted by urasim

Words and sequences of letters and numbers, cannot be "objectively bad". Originally Posted by Nevcairiel

This isn't really the place for this kind of discussion, in-game moderation by Blizzard is what it is and if there's any kind of issue with it you should take it up with their official support apparatus. Closing this.
