But with this D0NG story you opened a lot of reports incomming since it is clear that words meaning something different in another language can be offensive to others. I had no idea dong meant something else and I guess 95% of the countries on the EU server didnt knew that.   I see a lot of words who are clearly offensive, hurtfull or against the rules when reading them in the Dutch language, that is my native. There are hundreds of acoutns starting with dong, why doesnt WG change them all when they have decided that dong is against the rules. Does WG really want every acount or clan reported that is offensive in my language ? They will get busy in that case.

It is deeply annoying that this has come to such a heightened conclusion over a seemingly innocuous word.   Yes it's "just the name of a clan" but it was our identity, which we adopted from our brothers and sisters in the Dingers who we want to remain close to.   Remember, for some of us old farts and young whippersnappers, this game is our life outside of our lives.   Also, this whole farce was made worse by the same customer "support" operator who changed our name to something he then decided broke his own rules. Only to change it again and remove our free rename option, only to then put it back.   For me it just highlights general incompetence.
