    Gamer tag change


    Received an email saying my gamer tag was automatically change by xbox for being inappropriate. Was wondering why I was given no option to change to another gamer tag without having to pay instead of one being created for me thanks

    :)

    Help with changing gamer tag

    i want to change my gt to TidalSnow but someone else has already got it and I don't want to replace one of the letters with numbers so if someone could suggest how I change it up a bit to use it that'd be great.

    I've tried it with a space between as Tidal Snow but someone's got that too.

    Simple, you broke the rules and people are not rewarded for breaking rules.

    Actually he did answer you

    A forced gamertag change does not give the option of a free change

    You will have to pay for another change

    I did answer you. You broke the ToU and as such had an enforcement action taken against your account. Generally speaking when someone breaks a rule, law, or contract the person breaking the rule, law, contract, etc. does not get to pick their punishment
    and Xbox LIVE is no different.

    You willingly violated a policy and as such you incurred an automatic forced name change. If you wish to personalize this name you may but at a cost. There are expenses involved in policing Xbox LIVE and when immature people make offensive tags it costs Microsoft
    money to effect a change. Since you are the one who violated the ToU this cost is now passed onto you.

    Have a pleasant day.

    Error message when trying to access forums - Access Denied for Mr Messy Pants

    I'm going to assume that what is going on is that you were issued a forced gamer tag change since the gamer tag may be deemed offensive. A forced gamer tag change can result in not being able to post on the forums until that gamer tag is changed.

    Swapping gamertags

    Gamer tags are tied to accounts and can only be changed when you go through the process to change the gamer tag. No one can give you a gamer tag to assign to another account.

    So, neither you or as you stated, "people threating to take the tag as soon as it is chnaged" can take that gamer tag.

    The gamer tag won't be made available right away if you change the gamer tag on that original account.

    gamertag

    Why did my gamer-tag change? It really didn't offend nobody ( BIgBOyLuvMiLPhz )it was a funny gamer-tag to make people laugh and this was my first time actually getting reported. My friends gamer-tag were funny but when they got reported they had to change
    there gamer-tag to something else or they couldn't play live at all and you gave them a (FREE GAMER-TAG CHANGE), how come I cant get that opportunity to change my gamer-tag?

    Gamer tag in xbox profile

    the free gamer tag change was only allowed when your gamer tag change was forced. People abused this by reporting gamer tags that people wanted to change so once a force change was made they then changed it again to what they wanted for free. Because
    of that abuse of the system all game tag changes now cost even if a force change has happened.
