  1. forced to change gamertag


    I was forced to change my gamertag. It was my middle name and I dont see why it was forced to change.... please help make this right as i dont believe i should have to pay to change it. I understand how it could be considered offensive as I have spent my
    whole like getting made fun of for it but I dont think it is right for me to have to pay to change my gamertag back due to the fact that I used my own name within the gamertag...

    Here is my case number

    [Mod Removed]



    Mod Edit: Please do not post case / ref numbers on the forums. Thank you.

    :)

    Forced to change Gamertag

    Just to continue...

    For example, Pimp My Ride can't be taken in a sexual context can it?

    I certainly don't intend to offend anyone and in fact I never really interact with anyone on live other than people I know (in real life) and I very much doubt (nay, I'm certain) any of them would be offended.

    edited...

    Fair enough.

    Annoying though as this feels a bit dictator-ish to me (again, no offence meant).

    But alas...

    Forced to change gamertag.

    it was most likely changed cause you have to keep tags rated E for everyone and even tho there is no profanity in your tag when you sound it out it does your saying the F word followed by the ING suffix. so that is why they changed it to me anyway. and
    since your NEW tag has the same Fufkin word in it I see that one getting changed too NOTE: when you get too many forced name changes they perm ban your account and you loose everything, a little common sense goes a LONG way.

  4. forced to change gamertag

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. You would have to take it up with the Enforcement team here:

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


    -

    They are the ones that respond to offensive gamertag reports and issue forced name changes.

    -

    Wish I had more.

    -

    FYI never post your case number or other personal information in public forums. It's for your own safety.

  9. Hello again Mr. silky baby horse!

    You may not delete your post or have your old tag back as it did violate the Code of Conduct.

    For only $10 USD people own't think you're a silky filly anymore.

    The choice is yours, choose wisely.

    GAMERTAG CHANGE

    The Xbox Policy Enforcement Team only issues forced Gamertag changes to Gamertags that violate the ToU and Code of Conduct. When a Forced Gamertag Change is issued, your Gamertag is converted to a randomly generated tag. I'd recommend just gathering up
    the $9.99 and paying for a change, since your Gamertag does not seem to be in violation of the rules, and I do not foresee a Forced Gamertag Change being issued for it.

    Gamer tag

    I received a forced Gamertag change. Can XBLPET let me choose a new Gamertag for free?
    Some rumors give the impression that XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change to accounts that have received a forced Gamertag change. This is not the case.

    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

    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.

    Gamertag help

    If you were forced to change the gamertag, it would have been forced by the Product Enforcement Team. If the gamertag was reported as being offencive, and the PET decided that it was, then the gamertag is forced to change. Chances of getting the old gamertag
    back is slim to none, as once a gamertag is used, it remains unavailable for something like 5 or 7 years. Plus, there is a good chance that, even if you were able to change it back, that the PET would simply force you to change it again. And beyond that, the
    more you are forced to change your gamertag for ToU violations, the more chance you have of getting suspended. I would just chalk the old gamertag up as gone, and go from there.

    Hope this helps!

    Gamertag

    Possibly a forced gamertag change?

    Forced Gamertag Changes

    When a forced Gamertag change is imposed, the system automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the affected 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. However, the Gamertag that received the forced change will remain unobtainable.

    A forced Gamertag change may be issued if a Gamertag visually resembles, sound likes, represents, hints at, abbreviates, or otherwise insinuates any of the following:

    • Profane words or phrases
    • Topics or content of a sexual nature
    • Hate speech
    • Controversial religious topics
    • Notorious people or organizations
    • Sensitive current or historical events
