Can you get warned for a inappropriate name?
So a month ago or so, I was warned for having a inappropriate name. I wonder if there will be a community ban if you have a inappropriate name. Thanks for answering if you can

Yes you can, but if they were going to ban they would have done so instead of the warning. Multiple inappropriate names can result in a ban

By multiple, how many times? Thanks in advance

You have to use a really really worse profile name in order to get a community ban for it.

At worst, you won't be able to change your profile name for a while, and if you keep on going, it will probably turn into a permanent restriction on changing profile name.

Steam will not say a number, since edgelords would abusive it.

Yep this, if they told you 5 in a 3 month span people would do it 4 times and then wait for the cooldown.

Anything more then 0 can get you banned

Basically ask yourself would you repeat your name at

1. A job interview
2. Church
3. To your grandmother
4. In front of your young kids
etc

There is no rule that says what is/isn't allowed aside from following the general steam rules. If you have to ask if your name is offensive then it probably is.
