There will be a rule change starting january 1st: only grey/white gear, with NO EXCEPTION.
All green tabards, shirts and cosmetic items will NOT BE ALLOWED. So if you start a new character take that into account. No existing character will be flagged when the rule take effect.
Since bloodthrity character can weare green, they are allowed green tabards, shirts and cosmetic items.

Small problem with that rule.... some race/class combos start wearing a green shirt. Worgen Hunters for sure... not sure if any others.
Edit: It appears that the Warrior, Hunter and Rogue start wearing the shirt and the rest of the classes do not.

Thanks for pointing that out.
We'll check them and make adjustments accordingly

I'm a bit confused, a few questions:
is this for the ironman challenge or any other (bloodthirsty)?
Why January and not when 7.3.5 goes live? Does this have anything to do with the changes on the PTR?

Does this have anything to do with the changes on the PTR? the change is for ironman, pacifist and tinman (since bloodthirsty can already wear green items). It has nothing to do with 7.3.5 nor the PTR

I had a thought, and I want to make a suggestion. I don't know how much work it would be to change the code for tracking, but you might be able to allow all green quality items of an iLvl of 1. All the cosmetic items have an iLvl of 1. Then you'd only have to add one exception, instead of for each individual item.

This would cause issues (and currently does) with the items that are on the exception list.

Does this affect bags? And what happens to those who had bought and worn the green shirts / tabards already?

Thank you! Been looking for this info. My ironmen are inactive atm, but I damn near panicked when I saw that shirts and tabards now get you flagged, wondering if I had to start over because of a rule change... that would have been rather sad, so I'm happy that's not the case. However, what if I want to make one of my (tabard-wearing) ironmen into a tinman instead? Would that be impossible because it has worn a tabard? And what if I change or take off a shirt or tabard, will that somehow flag me? Should I keep on what I'm wearing and never change again, or doesn't it matter?

For the switch to tinman I'll make sure Stone sees the thread so he can answer

Thank you, that would be much appreciated. I like the ironman challenge and got my highest char to 67, but I get way too attached to my chars, so the (relatively) new tinman-challenge sounds absolutely ideal for me in order to move on instead of them just standing around for ages.
Edit: I just took a look, and it appears that my smaller ironmen chars all disappeared from the challenger list. If I have to re-add them (preferably on tinman-list), would they be instantly red-flagged because they've always worn shirts and/or tabards? The characters in question are Xirony, Zae and Nyan on Earthen Ring EU. Xirony (goblin hunter) was my first ironman char, way back from when the challenge was new and Earthen Ring horde was the place to be - with the "ironcurtain" chat channel and the constantly re-forming lvl 1 guild... :-)

I checked with @thejames (webmaster of wowchallenges.com) and if any toon hit Level 10 before January 1 2018, that toon is allowed to wear green shirt/tabard and register to ironman or tinman. All others rules must be observed though, so for tinman you have to be lvl 30 or below, or have at least one death

That is good news indeed! Thank you for taking the time to look into it.
