Is "SS" an acceptable clan tag?
I just played a game against a team with the clan tag "SS". Is this acceptable? If not, please explain how to report clan tags in-game. Thank you.

Sure thing. Would you explain the various potential outcomes of me reporting platoons and users for Nazi imagery?

Thanks for this - follow up question, is there any instance where SS or 1488 or NAZI would be considered acceptable clan tags, and if not, might I suggest these are not permitted to be entered as clan tags in the first place, rather than depending on the community to report them? It’s frustrating to have to choose between playing the game and stopping to report offenders when a simple filter seems to me a more efficient and fair system.

SS could be difficult to action imo because as others pointed out, it could mean silly sandwichs, silly squad, sweet shots...etc. Unless there is clear representation it refers to the Wafer SS, I am unsure it is possible to restrict that.
As for 1488 I was unaware of that number. We frequently send reports to our filtering teams on phrases/terms used in the game so they can look into improvements in the future. We'll let them know these are concerning to you and how frustrating it is to continue reporting players that choose to violate the rules.
