Would a guild with "pimp" in the name result in a suspension or ban? It would be a pun for a skill if you must know.

I don't believe they ban players for inappropriate guild names. They just disable the guild.

Unless staff are unusually anal, I fail to see how "pimp" can be construed as offensive these days, given it has various meanings which are far from colloquial given various dictionaries include references.

If you are in doubt, I would email them, rather than asking us, since we do not ultimately have any say, nor any in-depth knowledge of just how redneck/anal they may be

Type it as a character name, if its accepted as a character name, i see no reason it won't be as a guild name.

@Be Legit: Thanks, that should do fine then.
@bleh: I figured the character/guild name filter would filter the same words.
