Just wondering what happens when an account name is flagged as inappropriate, does the account get banned or just forced to change name to something different?

Was thinking of changing a name of one of my accounts which i think would be ok but don't want to risk a ban if it's not.

If you have to ask, then it's safe to assume that it may not be appropriate. It all depends on the account's history and the nature of the name chosen. It any case, you may be given a chance to change it or Jagex may simply impose a name for a year on your account, without the ability to change within that time frame, depending on the circumstances.

The wiki has the best description of what happens,
https://runescape.wiki/w/Character_name#Limitations

Original message details are unavailable.
If a display name is seen to be offensive or deceptive, Jagex can remove the name, and replace it with a temporary name (a random set of numbers). The player will be forced to change the name before being able to log in. If a user repeatedly chooses offensive names, they will lose the ability to change their name for one year and will be assigned one by a Jagex Moderator.

What happens after the year ban? As I'm currently serving my year suspension, and want to know what would happen if I were to choose another vulgar name.
Wondering the same thing. Do we get a 3 strike and you're out where no matter how long it is between 1 year forced name and the next offense it counts as 1 strike and if you get 3 bans you're permanently stuck with a random name?

I'm not sure. Perhaps they'd change it to SlowLearner##, and make it impossible to change forever. Never uses treasure hunter keys. Never buys runecoins or bonds. Never pays extra for 'Premier' status or passes. Never will.
