  1. Gamertag Changed Due to Violation (Niggardliness)


    My Gamertag "Niggardliness" received an infraction and I had my Gamertag automatically changed. The reason for the infraction that I was given was that I was in violation of the terms and services via Offensive language.

    The Gamertag is in no way offensive nor does it break any of the rules.. Sexual, Racial, political, religious etc...

    The word simply means to be "Stingy" I sent in a case review mentioning this and the reply I got back said "The Gamertag in question violates the agreed upon Code of Conduct for its use of racially profane slurs. The term itself derives from the N-word.
    Xbox Live is designed to be fun and safe for everyone"

    This simply isn't true. The word not only has different origins ( Old English Scandinavian) then the very offensive N-Word (French) but Niggardly predates the N-word by a couple hundred of years. These two words are in no way related to one another.

    The word is also used by people such as Shakespeare, John Milton, and Geoffrey Chaucer.

    If you want to punish me because others may be ignorant on this subject then I guess there's not much I can do. However, "You hate to think you have to censor your language to meet other people's lack of understanding" - Julian Bond

    Most people don’t use (or are even aware of) that dictionary word in everyday speech, so they’ll assume it’s a direct reference to the slur. It’s going to be considered a violation of the code of conduct in that regard, because it looks too similar, and
    people will think you’re trying to pull some sneaky loopholes by using an archaic lookalike.

    Any issues with Enforcement actions can be resolved here:

    . If you’re eligible, submit a case review. The Xbox Enforcement team does not post here on the forums, so unfortunately there’s not much anybody can do for you here.

    Gamer Tag Changed automatically

    Hey there,

    Automatic gamertag changes usually only occur due to the gamertag violating some element of the Community Standards. What was your previous gamertag?

    Gamer tag changed??

    You have had a forced gamertag change due to violation of the Code of Conduct. In order to change your tag you will need to pay to change it.
  8. Daft Badger Win User

    Lost a paying customer of 15+ years.

    As per the ToU/CoC you agreed to if you receive a forced gamertag change due to your gamertag violating the ToU/CoC you are issued a randomly generated gamertag for free to replace the offending one.

    If you want to change the gamertag you are given you will have to pay.
