Username Offensive Account Name Warning COD MW2
If you’ve recently received the “Account Name Warning” message in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, stating that the reason is “Username Offensive”, you should know that there are many with the same issue. Why are you getting this message, what can be done about it, and what are the consequences?
MW2 Account Name Warning Username Offensive
The “Account Name Warning” in Modern Warfare 2 has been plaguing MW2 and Warzone 2 players in recent weeks. Namely, a large name of players started getting the message that their account had an “Offensive Username”, despite seemingly being nowhere near inappropriate. “Anyone else had something like this?” asks u/Luna_RabbitS. “I was just playing a match, leveling the Strela, after I came out of the game I had this message asking me to change my name.” And she’s far from being the only one.
Unfortunately, the main reason behind this is the simple fact that COD games have an automated report system. This is due to the sheer number of players and reports. It would be impossible for human workers to manually check every report. Instead, if people report a player enough times for a specific issue, the system will flag them for that issue. As a result, you’re receiving the “MW2 Account Name Warning Username Offensive” message due to mass reporting by a few people who got angry.
Consequently, angry players abuse the report system to flag people falsely. If you think you’ve been wrongfully reported, you can file a ticket with Activision support. Unfortunately, they are usually relatively slow to process all complaints. Hence, you will probably need to wait a while until they resolve your ticket. Luckily, the worst thing that can happen here is for your name to be forcibly changed. With that said, that’s all you need to know about this issue.
i had a username Dbibrogaming ….. and somehow it got reported as an offensive username….. like how in the hell is dbibrogaming offensive
I just received the account name warning message
Reason user name -offensive
details : Your account name violates our code of conduct
Please rename your account at this time
?????Yeah that’s not going to happen I have had the same username for 25 years in every game I have ever played from PC to my current PS5 and it’s never been an issue.
i don’t talk and/or i keep the lobby muted and someone got salty and reported my name… it’s not even close to offensive lolol. this is ridiculous
How do you get hold of them I just had it pop up on me my user name is turbo89
I have been playing cld since it first came out!! I have recently received a communication warning.. and then shortly after I’ve received 2.. 14 day ban.. and now !!!!!!!!! I just got a offensive name warning… wtf is going on with mw2.. all the money I spend on this game!! I have my mic muted! And set to friends only chat!!!! So please explain to me how this is allowed but the game drops the F bomb all the time!!! And people are literally on here screaming the most racist shit I’ve heard in my life!!! I have the same gamer name for 7 years wtf… I’m not changing shit!!!! And I checked Activision.. I have no bans in place …. ?????????
How do you check about bans
my names used to be naggarjim now they wont let me use it again horsecockery
i was got out of a game and i got a messege that my name is offensive ” deprins ” is this offensive f***k this game
good luck for the rest of you i am getting kickt out al the time now my name is DEPRINS
Just got this message too. I’ve had this gamer tag since 2009. I only use chat in party w friends. I mute the lobby. The game itself uses the F word! LOL. How about target the cheaters w aim bot mods and leave those of us who play legit alone? This is some silly BS. I’m not changing my name. Princess Claymore held the top spot in the world in Dom back in advanced warfare days and she ain’t going anywhere ✌?
My username is ‘shemeeshe’ and I’ve never had a problem with it since mw2 came out, WTH is happening, I’m not changing it
for some reason i got flagged for the same reason(my name is radiance) i have no idea how this name could possibly be offensive but i changed it to that since i thought i was cool and not for me to get flagged just for a simple name and for someone to get mad at me(i dont know possible idea)
My username is 2topunish, and it’s offensive?? How though. I get a feeling its just people getting mad and reporting. I’m not changing this, I use this on any game I play. I don’t use game chat either. I never say nothing offensive.
“DuckHunter711” is inappropriate to them, I have had this username since like 2007. I hate censorship and moderation its a game about killing people don’t they think that’s inappropriate?
Name Break-Snap I’m gamer but I don’t say anything offensive got players muted when playing I respect a lot of people had this Activision name ever since Cold War plz do not ban me thanks for your time.
Was just recently reported for this. Do not understand how my name could be offensive to anyone. I am Norwegian it is part of my belief so the fact that they found it offensive is offensive to me
So I just came out of a knock out…. We won and some wee kids reported myuser name…. Sorry not sorry how is piggy justices offensive… This games a joke…..
I’m not changing my name! I just got the message after I had an epic game. I can’t believe this crap. They need a false report button. Even if I get stomped in a match by someone I think is a punk I’d never falsely report them. Fk em I’m not changing my name.
My name is ruthless on the game and, I mute all people and, I certainly don’t ever abuse anyone in game chat because no one can here me and I can’t hear them so I don’t have a clue why I’m being flagged for my name or anything else..absolute b.s man..this is what happens when the devs turn the game into a snowflake haven for snowflakes
I wish I never bought the game it pisses me off that mightybeast is offensive because I told some stupid 8year old his mic sucks a**. I will never buy another cod game again.
Shot someone with an on point shot and then right after get s report for my name which is “Gaz” and then chat behavior even though I wasn’t using it
Cod broken, developers suck, made trash game and updated buggy as hell.
I was randomly tagged with an offensive name .. By no means is my name offensive in no sort of way .. Just wanted to bring to attention and would prefer not to change my name because a weak player can’t play the game correctly.. Thanks for you time .. Love the game and play it correctly nor should we be penalized for being right in the situation..
my name is my stream name and its like how is it offensive lol its easily not capt_darttv how in anyway is that offensive..
I just got one today after going on a hot streak in Invasion. Used the same name for… Actually all the way back to the days of the Nintendo DS. No problems what so ever. People just got salty.
Yeah I’m with you on that… I’m quite new to PS5 and COD, I’ve just been playing and doing pretty good on team death match then got account name warning…. Ya what, just because some slow reacting players didn’t like loosing. I didn’t even know what it meant.
Something needs to be done about this
