They have two options not hosting the work, or complying with the
license terms.

Again they have two options not hosting the work, or complying with the
license terms.

Who determines whether a title or attribution is promotional or not?
Where are the license terms that say that these terms are void if the
re-users decides that they don't like the attribution name?

Could creationwiki decide not to attribute to a photographer that goes
by the name of ChildOfSatan? How about anti-Semitic groups refusing to
attribute to someone called Cohen?
