    Gamer tag name change


    I have had my gamertag for 12 years and am still in credit for my first change. I want to change it EK Tadpole but it’s saying “this gt isn’t allowed”. I feel that a lot of people have used “EK” but I don’t see how that should prevent you changing the gamertag with it included. Is there any way around it?

    :)

    For an official answer for why it was changed, you would need to post here -
    forums.xbox.com/.../41.aspx


    If it was changed because it violated the code of conduct then it is not possible to get it back.

    Hello, Tadpole10. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    The gamertag system is an automated system and there is no manual review of gamertags. If the system is not letting you use this gamertag, unfortunately there is no way around it. I'm really sorry about this.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    Xbox Live Gamertag

    Nope free gamer tag changes can be issued if it is within first 30 days of creation

    Xbox support cannot give you a free gamer tag change

    It does not matter if your name is in the gamer tag as it is not enough to reset your passwords and since it is not part of your login info unless you have a bad habit of telling everyone that's your name Noone will even guess that

    Nor is a forced gamer tag change will satisfy you as you will get a random name

    You will have to pay for a change

    Your gamer tag was deemed inappropriate or offensive and they changed it because it violated the code of conduct.

    You can argue to your blue in the face but you wont get the gamer tag name back.

    If you are wondering why you didn't get a free name change you can blame the people that abused the system by just changing the gamertag to another offensive or inappropriate gamer tag.

    So I suggest you let it go and either use the gamer tag you were given or buy some points and change it to an appropriate gamer tag that will not violate the code of conduct.

    Unauthorized Gamer Tag name change

    This forum is largely user based. You would have to continue working with phone support to try to get a refund.

    Support sends people here on the belief that the enforcement team will issue a forced name change and you will be given a free change, but that is not the case. The enforcement team does issue forced name changes, but you cannot contact them directly to
    get one and forced changes are now given a randomly generated tag.
