I accept that it's ok to ban an offensive tag or name if that tag is causing trouble. A clan named HITLER| doesn't belong here.
I won't advocate blocking a clan tag unless the clan causes trouble. The way it works in my mind is:
If thing causes trouble, block thing.
If an offensive tag causes trouble, block the offensive tag.
If an offensive player causes trouble, block the offensive player.
I know of no official clan tag that causes trouble. If someone goes through adding a tag to their nicklist they must be aware that they are not preventing representation as long as those players are allowed on their server. Even if a player removes their tag their name is still displayed. If I play without my tag on everyone still knows who I am.
When people put me on their nicklist they do it because they know they don't have a legitimate reason to blacklist me. This is the best they can do and get away by the hair on their ass.
