A Note from ATA
We’ve been reading through feedback since the recent policy update, and one thing came through clearly: the update was stricter than we intended when it came to usernames, club names, and club tags.
That level of restriction wasn't our intent. We've created this new Username and Club Name Policy to establish balanced middle ground. While public messages require strict context moderations under our overall Silencing Policy, player-created names operate under tailored rules designed to encourage player creativity, identity, and humor without compromising safety.
We understand that some names may fall into a grey area between allowed and not allowed. Because no policy can account for every possible name or context, our team reserves the right to review these cases individually and make the final call. If you’re unsure about a name, or would like clarification about a moderation decision, you can contact Support through an in-game help ticket.
Below is the complete breakdown of allowed and prohibited content across all player-created identifiers/usernames.
This policy applies to all public and semi-public player-created text identifiers across our games, including:
- Usernames / In-Game Names (IGNs)
- Club Names
- Family Names and Player Tags
- Pet Names
- Any other player-created names or labels visible in public areas
If you were previously renamed or are currently silenced based on the rules before these policy changes, please send in a support ticket to reinstate your previous name or to have your silence reviewed. Tickets will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
