- Parse each image loaded (e.g. if it looks swastika shaped then ban it). - Give extra reporting options to players to report indecent images. - Attempt to parse uploaded text against a banned words list. - Introduce soft bans (if you abuse the system, you're banned from doing any customisation for a month) | ||

Burrowing banelings under those is a nice double bluff. How does Widow Mines look underneath the decals? And could possibly the burrowed sprite be used as a decal effectively? | ||

Add a button to hide custom decals and leave people use whatever they whant.who dosent likw it can press or check hide custom decals | ||

So anyways it would need to be something to have in mind when playing terrans. well if you are in middle of a fight near a hatchery with those decals it can get pretty confusing with reall banelings around | ||

I played some games on the PTR and i don't think this could be a big issue, widow mines on the other hand could do quite a bit of damage if the players find the right decal to exploit them. Beware that i'm not saying that this won't cost a few lings to a careless zerg, i'm saying that if you know what you are doing (like you should) you won't have much trouble. | ||

Going to upload my image as soon as possible, but it will be super ugly I promise :D Never took the whole Clan-Thingy too serious, my brother and I took the dumbest name we could imagine for a Clan so the decal should be dumb as well^^ | ||

Man, one can really abuse nice things that Blizzard adds  They really should think about a way to prevent this kinda stuff. Even tho its really funny at first glance, its not funny anymore when u get confused ingame :/ | ||

Or you could put a bucket of greyish paint as the decal, and burrow the widow mines there instead. Both can be done, burrowed splats and mines themselfs, so enemy will be super-confused | ||

I think a good option would be that your "clan tag" has to be uploaded by your clan leader and everyone in the clan can only use that one decal. That would make it a lot more appropriate and limit abuse a little, in my opinion. As an aside, my clan is pretty non-serious. We're just a bunch of dudes goofing around and our logo reflects that. Looking forward to having this bad boy pasted by every Nexus  ![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/daftboi/nefnclanlogo_zps45d9022f.jpg) | ||

That would make it a lot more appropriate and limit abuse a little, in my opinion. That is exactly how it is working right now.

Don't get me wrong this sounds excellent on paper but when playing i don't feel it will hold water, at least not with the widowmines pics there, maybe as i said with the shadows or with greyish pain, but even that way your opponent would scout you and know that you are planning something tricky when he sees that you have a burrowed widow mine(s) beside your CC at 3 minutes into the game lol //EDIT//oh oh oh ! i forgot to publish/share my decals! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/T2bfxP5.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qlo5xr3.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VS6On0U.png) I'm switching between these, i can't get myself to choose one u.u | ||

So I'm just waiting to someone add lifebars to them:-P (i know, on the side and on the top the orientation will be wrong) | ||
