The use of the names of the following is prohibited:

The restrictions listed above are not exhaustive. The game administration reserves the right to independently assess the acceptability of callsigns and clan names and apply appropriate sanctions whenever a name may violate the Game Rules, the User Agreement, applicable law, or generally accepted standards of conduct, even if the specific case is not explicitly listed above. The administration's decision is final in all disputed cases.

Penalties for Rule Violations

Callsigns and clan names are considered part of the in-game environment and are therefore subject to the same standards as any other game content.

If a violation is identified, the administration reserves the right to apply one or more of the following measures without prior notice:

  • Forced callsign or clan name change;

  • Temporary restriction of certain game features;

  • Temporary account suspension;

  • Permanent account suspension for severe or repeated violations;

  • Clan deletion or disbandment in cases of repeated or systematic violations.

Please note: attempts to circumvent these rules by replacing letters with numbers, using special characters, intentionally misspelling words, or using any other method to disguise prohibited content are considered violations and may result in penalties.

When determining an appropriate penalty, the administration considers the nature and severity of the violation, the player's previous offenses, and whether there was an intentional attempt to bypass existing restrictions.

Please choose your callsign and clan name carefully. If either violates these rules, we recommend changing it to avoid penalties.

Thank you for helping us maintain a welcoming and enjoyable environment for the entire Warface community!
