Banned for name stuck on Joe Nhl

@TTZ_Dipsy The thing that bugs me is that I see guys with blatantly racist/sexist names get reported and nothing happens. Meanwhile bans are handed out to other people for no obvious reason.

As part of the process in the future I think it would be worthwhile to have the reason for the ban included in the feedback to the player. If a player or club name violates the terms of service it should be easy enough to explicitly indicate what rules were violated and why. The way it is now it seems like it's just left up to the whims of whoever reviews the name. And appealing the ban gets no response so there's no help there either.

It also seems to me that a five second google search should be a minimum requirement when deciding if a name is ban-worthy or not. 'Scrum Master' is a legitimate job title in software development. I personally work with several people with that job title. I haven't yet broke the news to them about how offensive it is 😉

I see your point but just look at the movie "Meet The Fockers". A name of French origin that just wouldn't jive with the filter since it cannot distinguish context.

Part of the problem is other languages and slang - The auto part of the filter can sometimes block certain combinations (like the "rum" part of scrum could trigger alcohol protocols, as annoying as it can be). Sometimes they may not give full reason why something happened so people can't find workarounds, at least that is my guess.

I've seen some horrible names over the years and am always reporting. I think some people just change their names so much it can be hard to catch. I 100% agree the whole process could be made easier (it's a nightmare in other titles as well).

@TTZ_Dipsy Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't reported names reviewed by a human being who is capable of discerning context?

I assume it's not an automated filter because if it was it would presumably be applied when the user attempted to add the name in the first place.

Honestly I don't know exactly how it works for NHL.

Using bots for overflow/high amount of reports for an individual in a short period of time makes sense but in theory, humans should be reviewing most general reports in NHL.

Could be the initial reviewer misunderstood and issued a ban too quick so then others couldn't follow up or maybe so many reports were filed against you it escalated its priority.
