    In the music world, "♥♥♥♥♥♥" simply means to play slower. Should we stage a protest outside symphony halls across the world to correct this injustice?

    I think this is a fine topic as long as it is discussed in the abstract. Please people, do not suggest more words for them to filter from global. Its utility to communicate effectively is diminished as it is.

    Look, I understand why you would view it as offensive. In the context that most people today use it it would be. But like other people have already said, the true definition is not offensive, and I suppose that's what SC based their decision off of.

    SC can't be responsible for everyone who gets offended by something.
    Would you allow users to use the word ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in their names if you created a game? Do you think that this would be a wise decision in retaining users? There has already been a user that has posted their opinion about the subject and they have said they are deeply saddened by the allowance of this word. The word ♥♥♥♥♥♥ should not be allowed to be used in any game as any name in any form. Whats sfopping someone from making the name "Your♥♥♥♥♥♥edBrother"? Nothing.

    And that's literally what every other developer believes as the word is in EVERY censor list.

    My brother changed my name ♥♥♥gle which is my nickname to something awful. And look what Supercell thinks about it...

    Thoughts?
    Offensive or not, SC can't do anything about it. You used your only chance to change your name.

    It was your brother? Well, smash his head to a wall as a punishment, but SC can't do anything here. It's your fault, not them.

    There's a difference between "♥♥♥♥♥♥" the verb and "♥♥♥♥♥♥" the noun, and the former's definition does not make the latter unoffensive. I agree that it probably shouldn't be censored on global and such, but on a case by case basis it should be treated as offensive. The context here makes it pretty clear that it was used offensively IMO, and I think it should have been changed.

    SC changes offensive names all the time, whether the name change has been used or not. They can change it, they just are opting not to.

    Precisely. You failed to take appropriate steps to secure your device. You also just admitted to a violation of the TOS in that you allowed a third party to access your village. You're lying in a bed entirely of your own making. You might want to quit while you're ahead.

    Haha ♥♥♥gle is a pretty funny name. No offense haha

    Anyway I just changed my name to what it already was before to prevent anyone from doing any real permanent damage to my account by renaming it something silly haha. You should've done this when the feature came out.

    Also, isn t the device you play on yours? If it was why don't you have a password that prevented your brother from getting on your device in the first place.

    Pretty sure that infractions are handed out on the forums for calling people ♥♥♥♥♥♥s.

    Indeed they are - usually by people who can't express themselves in a civil manner.

    I can see the way this thread is going so to keep the forum family friendly i'm closing it.
    Now retired from YouTube, feel free to say hi I always like a good chat
