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

 

Forced Name Change

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.

 

You would need to post here
forums.xbox.com/.../41.aspx

My guess would be the 2nd word that was deemed offensive.

 

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

•Do not create a Gamertag, profile content, Avatar content, in-game content, videos, or any other content that other users may be offended by. This includes, without limitation, anything related to or suggestive of:

◦Profane words or phrases

◦Topics or content of a sexual nature

◦Hate speech

◦Illegal drugs or controlled substances

◦Illegal activities

◦Controversial religious topics

◦Notorious people or organizations

◦Sensitive current or historical events

◦Any “sound-alike” or “lookalike” words, phrases, or puns that reference these topics

 

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

next time take the code of conduct more seriously

 

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.

 

no it is very clear about it

you cannot use an y atonumy that is sexual

 

tyhis is a RATED E service

learn the code of conduct it is that simple

its so easy to follow don't try and push the rules just follow them

they are very very clear about it
