Last name error

For some reason my last name “Genneken” is being flagged as offensive in WOC. I’m not sure how or why this is happening because I’ve used my real name in WOC the last few years with no issues. Very f...

    You should now be able to use the combination of Clark Genneken. Can you try it out and let me know if it's working or not?

Regardless of whether your chosen name may be offensive or not, if it is detected as profanity, you will need to choose something else.

Thanks.

@EA_Barry Obviously we have to pick something else, I just want to know why suddenly after playing every year since eashl was implemented, suddenly my non-offensive last name is considered profane. I really have no clue how Bellini is considered profane.

    Exactly! It should not be a hard fix and yet here we are. I would think the players being able to use their own name would be something worthy of fixing but I guess not. Love how our last names are offensive yet I played against somebody named “homeless Blackman” yesterday. My name is offensive but that’s all good in the eyes of the broken profanity system. Unreal.

      Hey, everyone. We're looking into names getting caught by the profanity filter that shouldn't be. I'll pass along the ones mentioned here, but if there are any others, feel free to let me know.

      Thanks!

        Genneken and Bellini should be ok now. Can you both try again?
