forced gamertag change

HI,

Can you please help me about the note you sent me earlier today.
I have a question. What is the determining factor that a gamertag is inappropriate? If other players get upset with the way I play they can just randomly report my gamertag no matter what it is. I thought that the rule was that a gamertag couldn't have
any swear words in it. Mine didn't have any, it was just funny. I don't think it is fair to make me pay $10 to change it to a better gamertag then the one you just randomly assigned me. It could happen again and again just because people don't like how I play.
I have some ex-friends at school who are probably just reporting me to cause me grief and so my Dad has to spend $10. NOT FAIR.
I would like to send you a copy of the email I sent and can you please talk with my dad. Please provide me with an email address for this.

Thanks.

:)

 

Gamer Tag change asap (refered via live chat)

Hi, forced gamertag changes are only imposed under certain circumstances. Having your personal info, name etc isn't recommended but also isn't against the terms of use or code of conduct.

The link above explains about forced gamertag changes and what circumstances they are imposed. Other than that you're looking at paying for the change I suspect. The link below explains the gamertag change process in detail.

forced gamertag change

to whom it may concern,

ive had the same gamertag D0 M3 H4RD3R for a solid four years, and today when i go to sign on its telling me to change my gamertag. I play all my games on the hardest difficultly possible gow 1, 2, and 3 insane mow2 blackops and mow3 (was working on) veteran
and all of the halo saga legendary. why after four and a half faithful years to xboxlive are they making me change my gamertag? i cannot believe that im being told to change my gamertag after nearly five years i was 16 when i created this account im 21 now
how come just now someone thinks this is suggestive, the only thing that my gamertag suggests to me is a way of thinking give me everything you have play hard and ill play harder, ill give you 110% and i exspect the same so D0 M3 H4RD3R to take my gamertag
out of context just shows how immature some people are... ive been told that my gamertag has a double meaning and proably offended someone, it offends me that someone would even think i created this gamertag for such a reason, and to force someone to change
their gamertag bc of double meanings is ridiculous, if thats the case why not make evryone who has a gamertag with a 6 and a 9 consecutivly change their gamertag thats suggestive isn't it? where is the line drawn why did someone decide to draw it in front
of my gamertag more importantly why if it is so sugestive did it take nearly five years for someone to say something? ive grownup with this gamertag it is special to me that may sound stupid, but u try going half a decade with the same name then have someone
tell u to change it bc it offends someone who doesnt even know you... i want to know who i can talk too to resovle this issue, this means alot to me...

sincerely, jacob taylor

 

◦If you create a Gamertag that has been determined to violate the Terms of Use or Code of Conduct, the system will automatically choose a new Gamertag for you.

this is the code of conduct. Some where a long the lines your gamer tag did violate the CoC. Once the change is set you will have to pay $10 to change it. Sorry once it's set it's set nothing else can be done.

 

Who are you TrippIE? Do you work for Microsoft? Do you make the rules? What is this, a dictatorship? Sorry I don't accept your answer.

 

This is exactly why I didn't want to ask for help on a public forum, because of all the dumb comments I have been reading.

 

Then go here:
forums.xbox.com/.../41.aspx if you wanna know more about the changes man

 

Thanks but I have already been there and read it.

 

This is the enforcement team, they will be able to assist you but they will tell you the same thing.

 

oh the Enforcement team? So it's non negotiable is what you are telling me? Not acceptable.

 

Can you please give me an email to correspond with and take me off this public forum. Thank you for all your help. It is appreciated.

 

There is no email address. The only way to contact the enforcement team is through the link TrippIE gave you.

It doesn't matter how many people file complaints on you, the enforcement team investigates every complaint they receive and they are the ones who determine whether the gamertag violates the code of conduct. You can view the code of conduct here -

www.xbox.com/.../CodeOfConduct

 

well they are wrong in this instance. I read the code of conduct.

 

Hi,

TrippIE and Smwutches are right about this.

if you get complaints on your gamer tag the enforcement team will go over it, and that they will or will not change the gamer tag there is nothing more you can do other then change gamer tag.

Some times they will give you a free change of gamer tag if this has not happened as soon as you login on the console then you have to make the change your self.

May the force be with you..

 

Obi One - They no longer give a free change with a forced name change. They only give you a randomly generated tag and you must pay to change it.
