Enforcement - Gamertag changed

TURTLESTOMPER65 · Nov 11, 2016

Hi,

My gamertag was changed today by the enforcement team. I talked to xbox support and they said to make a post on the forum as it is monitored by the enforcement team. Im not sure if the is the correct location but its the closest i could find.

My gamertag was for 9 years and today it was changed by the enforcement team as it was deemed offensive. I can't understand how this is offensive in anyway which lead me to believe it was a result of being reported after games.

I have been playing gears of war 4 and have been playing quite well which has lead to winning a decent amount. Since the first option in the report drop down menu is related to gamertag i believe this could be the cause. (Fastest option to report, just have
to double a)

I have received a decent amount of unprovoked hate mail after matches that i have performed well in so i strongly believe this name change is a result of wrongful accusation.

The service request number i received from support was 1362536317

If this is not the correct forum i would appreciate it if i was redirected to the right location.

Thank you,

:)

Does anyone have a problem with my Gamertag?

Just curious if the gametag MyKneeGrows82 offends anyone and why? i have been a loyal x-box player for over a decade, and suddenly after thousands of people seeing my gamertag, and not having a problem with it, enforcement changes my gamertag, which by the way does not include any of the things that they say it shouldn't, so am i being singled out as an example? i don't see how showing proudly my race in my gamertag is a problem. Any thoughts on whether or not this should be possible for enforcement to do when the gamertag is in violation of none of the requirements of the enforcement&policies agreement whatsoever.

[Enforcement Team] Changed Gamertag

You would need to post here from an official answer from the enforcement team -

forums.xbox.com/.../41.aspx

But it doesn't matter whether the support member you spoke to said it was offensive or not. It is up to the enforcement team to determine if a name violates the code of conduct. If they determine it does, they will change it and you will have to pay to change
it to something else.

sorry, but support gave you incorrect information. The enforcement team no longer uses the forums. You would have to try submitting a case review at http;//enforcement.xbox.com

You can hit the Enforcement team by using
enforcement.xbox.com only, and regarding a forced gamertag change you will not be allowed to get back the old one of course.

This is from the Enforcement site pages:

Can I get a free Gamertag change by going to the enforcement forums?

Some users are under the impression that simply by inquiring about a forced Gamertag change in the enforcement forums XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change. This is not the
case.

While players are encouraged to post if they have questions about an enforcement action, posting in the forums does not in any way guarantee a free Gamertag change. In the past,
a forced Gamertag change gave users the opportunity to change the offending Gamertag free of charge. Unfortunately, this gesture was prone to abuse, and many people simply chose new, equally offensive Gamertags. As a result, the Gamertag enforcement process
changed. A forced Gamertag change now automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the standard Gamertag change process

You can view your enforcement action at enforcement.xbox.com. The enforcement team would have forced the gamertag change. If you want to change your gamertag you will have to pay for the change.

You were warned.It was the code of conduct you agreed to when you started your account.

As Tye said,the word doesn't just mean "hot dog or sausage",it has another meaning as well & that is why it was changed.

You will have to pay to change it to a personal gamertag as that is the rules,you will not get a free name change.

Hello there LovelyKid

You would need to make a post in the below forum section. The PET (Enforcement Team) will respond to you there with the reasoning behind your forced gamertag change. Alternatively you can check the email address tied to your account as correspondence will
have been sent there.

http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/41.aspx

Please note that threads in that specific section are reviewed before they are published so you may not see your thread appear straight away. I will point out that the PET wont enforce against people for simply playing better then others.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks,
