What happens when the bug occurs? Whenever I go to edit the colors, I get a notification that I can’t because our clan tag is apparently inappropriate, and we also cannot even change the clan tag anyways.
What should be happening instead? The changes should save without problem
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just have the clan tag “PLSH”
For context, our clan is called “The Nessie Squad”, and our clan tag is “PLSH”, for “PLUSHIE” or “PLUSH”. I cannot for the life of me think of any way these letters could be turned into something offensive or rude, and we are worried about our accounts getting banned because of it. This clan tag was perfectly ok when we made it, and we’ve edited the colors many times without a problem before, so I don’t understand why this is suddenly happening. Leaving the clan seems silly because what happens if one day our new clan tag is also suddenly offensive again? The only reason I say its a major impact is because you can get banned for offensive things. But we can’t even change it, and it wasn’t a problem before, it seems a bit arbitrary. Perhaps this is a bug? I don’t know what else it could be, but we don’t want to lose our accounts over something so silly. Proof provided.
