Racially offensive names are okay?

Why is that while I am in wsg today, I see a player named @##*s? How does even pass through the character naming filters?

If you wowarmory it, you can see there are other players with this name too.

Fix this asap.

Hi Amoriae,

What Daniera mentioned is correct.
Q u o t e:
Blizzard's enforcement of naming policy is REactive, not PROactive. There is no naming filter that I'm aware of, for the simple reason it would catch perfectly legitimate names by virtue of them containing certain letter combinations that aren't so savoury when on their own. If you see a name that you feel is against policy, submit a ticket either in-game or from your registered email address to wowgm@blizzard.com. Please note that any action taken against another player will be shared with you for privacy reasons.
Rest assure that our game masters will take the appropriate action against any and all offensive names.
