> Reports aren't automated, that's why it can take a while for anything to happen. They're checked by real people and only actioned if they actually break the rules. If you report a guild which isn't breaking the rules on naming then nothing will happen to them. If you report a guild that is breaking the rules then try to use the name yourself either it will have already been added to the banned list and you won't be able to get it, or you'll get it force-changed as well when they notice it's in use again.

Some of these were obviously troll guilds designed specifically to provoke people. Troll or not, they are against the Terms of Service and it would be nice to have a more convenient way to report them.

I saw those more as being curious as to what the OP considered inappropriate because they hadn't seen anything offensive, themselves, or concern over such a report function being abused.
...NM, I missed the part where the posts in question have been moderated and removed already.
