Forced Name Change

I received a e-mail today from Xbox saying my gamertag has been deemed inappropriate and has been replaced with a automatic generated name. My name was Chimpfetus. There is nothing inappropriate about that name. Chimpanzees are not inappropriate,
and fetuses are not inappropriate. The combination of the two doesn't create anything offensive. There is nothing about abortion or anything insensitive. This gamertag change is completely unjustified and honestly makes me hesitant to continue using xboxlive
as a service for network gaming.

Also, your e-mail link to the code of conduct is broken, please fix this.

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

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

next time take the code of conduct more seriously

 

The enforcement forums are here
forums.xbox.com/.../4276.aspx

I can tell you that the 2nd word of your tag is inappropriate & is probably why you got a forced name change.

You will need to post in the forums I've linked for an official answer.

 

Do you think you could elaborate as to why you think fetus is inappropriate?

It's an unborn mammal. Every living mammal on the earth was once a fetus. It's hard for me to think that word could be inappropriate. It's something that children learn about in public school.

Thanks for the info on the enforcement forum!
