How or who do we report these to? I don't know how to 'snapshot' the farm name, but I wrote it down. Can someone assist me?
I just came across a REALLY derogatory farm name. How do I report it? There was a previous post about this, but when I clicked the link, it didn't load.
Did you take a picture? Send an email to support with the name of the farm.
I don't know how to take a picture, but I sent a private message to Nick with the name included.
It's a shame some people find it necessary to publish their ignorance and hate.
Here ya go ---> click here for screen capture how-to
The way to report them would be to grab a screenshot. How to do so is explained in the link Holidae provided and use the in-game feature to report the issue. Tap the gear button -> help and feedback -> report a problem or PM the screenshot to any of the mods and staff on the forums.
You can send a private message to any of the moderators who will forward it to Staff. They will do what they can if they able locate the farm. At the top of your forum page, you'll see a black bar with menu choices in white type. Click on Community and choose one of the moderators (green) and send the PM. I don't know if they contact the user and insist it be changed or if they edit the farm name.
In future, if you have an iPhone or iPod, press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time until you hear the "snap". I'm not sure if it's the same on iPad. You can then place an ingame Report Issue ticket by clicking on the cog icon in the upper left of your gaming screen, describing the problem, and attaching the snapshot.
Ok, this is weird. Last night when I posted my response to the OP above, I showed as the only reply for about another 20 minutes at which time I logged out. Today, there are several posts showing above mine. This includes the OP's second post, which was not there when I replied.
This has happened a a few times recently where I've noticed mine and others posts shifted about and the posting times changed. :confused::confused: Is this due to the thread being moved?
If threads are merged the posts will sort by date/time. I'm not aware of a merge here although I was sleep posting.
I learned from a post on here how to do a screen shot, and I know how to report a problem, but do not know how to attach the photo to the report. Is there a link to this information? I also have seen offensive farm names and things spelled with the fields. I am glad to know how to report them now.
Ah, that must be it. The OP must have made two threads and they were merged. Thanks. :)Quote:

3. Tap it and choose screenshot previously saved in Camera Roll
Thank you meonhoc. :)
For taking a screen shot with iPad- it is the same as what Cricks described. I think there is a click sound but it does show a brief white flash like a camera flash does, to let you know the pic was taken. I absolutely love that little feature since I either have the sound off on the iPad or my 'electric ears' are out of my ears lol.
SC does moderate names, but some people find ways to get past them. I've reported several obscene farms names through the report a problem option in the settings (silver cag on top left of screen). Like you, I don't understand why some sick individuals feel compelled to be so horrid and spoil the enjoyment of others. I can only imagine that they are immature, uneducated and anti-social - so why do they play a social game that has high ethical standards. They are more suited to GTA.Quote:

Thanks do much for explicit info on reporting this. I sent a report to GC with attached photo but I don't know if this will be corrected or not since it will be a GC maintenance of farm name
I've reported every single farm that pimps for the moozs1im b'hood by farm name or avatar.
:)
Do they have a distinctive avatar?Quote:

They put up the black hand showing four fingers, thumb tucked-in against a yellow background. That's the MB'hood.Quote:

I don't apologize for reporting offensive imagery and slogans that unequivocally and brazenly support cultural, religious and political supremacy along with unapologetic jailing, torture and/or slaughter of their opponents.
i have are just heard from Kevin at SuperCell (along with an apology for the delay in responding due to the massive amounts of mail they get) and he has passed my email with the screenshot of what I believe is the offending farm along to the correct people to deal with. He said they regard this as a serious matter.Quote:
