Offensive name - Rogacz88/Rogacz87i1...
Hello
Yesterday i get email about my name is offensivie to players. Name what i use more than 15years. Rogacz88 (Rogacz from old nickname, 88 from born year). So i change name to Rogacz87i1.
Today i get that same email... i cant change name, game change them to agent.....
So. Why? I know ingress team can be mad for me because i want answers about TWRP bug, but blocking names looks like a child style ;)

I suspect that someone on the battlefield has reported you for this as you may have claimed a portal(s) that they want...this is only a thought,did you have any in-game notifications of a portal being attacked before you got this email ??
However with regards to the name change I believe you can only change it once within Ingress to avoid players changing there name so often to fool people just like spoofers create multiple accounts with random names this is a similar system...many company's have this in place and limit it to once a year or a nominal fee for example Xbox Live (Sorry PS & Switch Owners) they give you a random name to startup with and after that you can change once for free and after that it's £6.99 ($9.99) per change.
I do see that your forum name hasn't changed though unless that will update when you sign out/sign back in as it's tagged to the game also.
Failing that raise a ticket through the helpdesk and see if they can help.
@NianticCasey @NianticBrian @ofer2 @ofer2 @NianticOfficial any ideas ??
Make an appeal at support. I don't see any reason your name would be offensive, unless it mean something in some language.
Hi there, thanks for flagging. It looks like you've submitted a ticket appealing this decision so I'll provide some more context there.
Hello, i get new name from my ticket but i dont get any answers...
Why i forced to change nickname which i use longer than Ingress exist?
@Hydraulinski So i still wait for answers :)
@PhantomR1982 No answers, just i get option to send 4 names what i want, and they choose one of them. But still why? :)
Probably you're being haunted by some stubborn opposing faction player who doesn't like you...
@Robert4444 Probably yes ;)
I get answer. "Rogacz" Is a bad word in Polish :D
Rogacz:
Polish Wiki:
Probably someone cheat Niantic team about "bad" meaning name Rogacz. In Poland people sometimes use that name for betrayed man. But if someone cheat team, why team dont ask? ;)
Out of curiosity, where did you get the nickname from originally?
You read Harry Potter books in Polish? Its a nickname one of important people in plot :)
Isn't literally stag, the animal?
That shouldn't be judged as offensive. Even if it is, the offended should be yourself 🤷🏼♀️
