  1. Forced name change


    I was recently forced change the GT KARATExxNIPPLES after having it for less than a week. Now I'm stuck with a random name unless I want to cough up yet another $10 to change it to something I actually like. Can someone explain how this is offensive or direct
    me to someone who can?

    :)

    Forced Name Change?

    So, late last night I attempted to log into my account and I was immediately greeted with this little treat:

    "In accordance with Xbox LIVE policy, the gamertag is no longer allowed. Please change your gamertag before playing on Xbox LIVE."

    In an attempt to determine that rationale behind the name ban I called the support department in hopes of this enigmatic situation being resolved. However, the support department stated that there wasn't a single note regarding why the name change was enforced
    and they suggested that I make a post here.

    I guess that's what I'm going to do, so here I am. I'd like to know why this account was deemed inappropriate or anything of the sort. This gametag,
    while not my name, was a
    nickname given to me ages ago by someone that knew me and a person name "L. Hein." This person was a dear friend of mine that had certain medical issues, and ended up being my best friend
    -- the remaining bits of the story aren't necessary, but this name is something that I've latched onto.

    Basically, I was Heins "little brother" and people started calling me Hein, and since he came first with the L some people attached the M onto my nickname and it just stuck.

    I've had this account for 7+ years, so I feel as though I deserve some sort of explanation for why this is happening now. If the name ban is final, then I'd like to have the account completely disabled.

    Regards,

    MHein

    The word "***" is not an acceptable phrase for what you are trying to portray.

    Only certain words are acceptable, and are outlined in the terms of use.

    Edit: see its been removed from my post too, so its not allowed on the forums either.

    maybe you should take this as a life lesson

    if you cannot see why that isn't allowed maybe you should READ the code of conduct

    the code of conduct is very very clear about such subjects

    multiple forced name changes can result in a perma ban of your account

    next time take the code of conduct more seriously

  7. I have read the code of conduct. My name wasn't making any sexual reference. It was simply meant to be funny. Would i have had to change my name if it was KARATExxFINGERS? How about KARATExxEARLOBES? I highly doubt it. I had to change my name because somebody
    got mad that i beat them in a videogame and that was the only retaliation they could think of. But that isn't even the real reason i am angry. I'm mad because i had that name for less than a week and now i will have to spend another $10 to change my name,
    not because Microsoft can't refund my money or allow me pick a new one, but simply because they won't... It's all about the almighty dollar.

    Forced name change

    You can try going to http://enforcement.xbox.com and submit a case review. If the enforcement team overturns their decision, you will be allowed to change it. Otherwise, you would
    have to pay if you want to change it to something you want. The free change policy was changed several years ago when too many people abused the option.
