Live Community Chat Display Name Policy

Classical California's Display Name Policy explains the rules for chat display names. Users control their identity, with an auto-assigned classical-music name as default. Banned: slurs, harassment, sexual content, personal info, and staff impersonation. Maestro, the AI moderator, screens names in real time, blocking bad names at creation, forcing resets when violations slip through, and issuing suspensions for severe cases like threats or hate speech.
