Is "SS" an acceptable clan tag?

If you come across a clan tag or emblems that you feel resembles the Waffen-SS please report those via the in-game reporting feature. Our Terms of Service team will review those reports. 

Thank you. 

Thanks, I reported this on June 27 and it’s still there. If you would also tell me if there is a punishment for being in this clan I’d appreciate it. 

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

Using hateful symbols will fall under violation of the Terms of Use.

This can lead to suspension or permanent bans on accounts.

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.

Hi @TheHeroLad,

The easiest way for finding/reporting such immature players and their clan tag is simply to look up their soldier on Battlelog.com.  So just take a screenshot of them while ine the game or the scorecard.  When on their soldier page, you can easily click on their clan tag/emblem top right behind their soldier profile.  This will now bring you straight to their clan page.  So no need to serch for it.  As you rightfully say, its near impossible to search for any clan and find it, despite you know well what you are searching for.  Finding it through the involved soldier(s) is however super easy.

Now when on the clan page, you then have the little triangle top right, where you can trigger the reporting of this to the EA moderators.

Yes, you will not be told explicitly back by EA what they do about it, specific penalties etc.  You shouldn't really bother about it either. 

But if you will, then bookmark the hyperlink to the clan page, and hopefully and if truly relevant per the EA TOS/Code of Conduct, you will observe it goes missing after a few days.  

For this kind of infraction though, no specific penalty beyond removal of player's clan tag will incur.

Hopefully that will also happen now to that clan of Super Suckers that you came across!   :o)

@CyberDymeBut the website doesn't support Battlefield 5, and accessing Battlefield 1 redirects me to the official EA bf1 companion app.
