    Reference # [Mod removed]

    Upon attempting to sign in to my account today, I was notified I needed to redownload my profile. While doing that, I noticed my gamertag was changed from "[Mod Removed]" to "FancyFawn876720".

    I would like to know why my gamertag was changed as I don't find it goes against the Code of Conduct or and User Agreement. I've also never had any complaints in-game from people that found it offensive. The only comments I had received about it, were
    positive.

    I've been a long time subscriber to XBox Live and enjoy meeting people around the world with the service and gamertags such as mine are conversation starters meant only to be funny.

    I would request that my gamertag be reinstated as was prior to the change.

    I certainly do not want to keep the gamertag issued to me.

    Thank you,

    [Mod removed]

    :)

    FNC? I few years ago they made my friend change his account. He was able to freely choose a new name. Now you have to pay? I am wondering why they changed it?

    Hey there, FancyFawn876720

    Welcome to the Xbox Live community forums

    I would like to advise you, not to post reference numbers on these forums as they are only for you and Microsoft. Not the community. Gamertag Changed :)

    If you believe that your Gamertag had been changed by the Enforcement Team, please post in the
    Consoles banned and Suspended Forums, where the Enforcement Team can tell you why your gamertag has been changed on Xbox Live.

    I hope this helps you with your question.

    Regards,

  5. Pretty funny, Chat support gave me a link to here directly and told me specifically to include the reference number.

  6. Your gamertag was changed for obvious reasons.

    Belittling women of different size is considered arrogant,obnoxious,ignorant, small minded, need I go on? It's no suprise the gamertag was changed to be honest. Glad the Enforcement Team caught attention of that, hats off to the one who filed the complaint
    on the gamertag.

    It's amazing how people try so hard for a laugh through a gamertag.

    Little tip for future reference though, if you want to keep a gamertag, why not refrain from any form of insults in it? Just saying Gamertag Changed :)

  7. There is no belittling or anything else taking place in my gamertag. Fat is an adjective. Perhaps I prefer women of a larger variety? I had the gamertag for at least a couple of years and now it gets changed? Your obvious jump to conclusion in itself
    is arrogant, obnoxious, ignorant, and small-minded.

    What's so wrong about getting a laugh with your gamertag?

    Again, there is no insult taking place in my gamertag, and the 3 members of support I've spoken with tonight agree with me.

    Take your negative comments somewhere else please. I'm looking for an answer.

    Gamertag Changed

    What it comes down to is that somebody took offence to it, reported it as being offensive, the PET determined it was indeed offensive, and you received a forced name change. Sometimes, something you think is funny, can be very not funny to somebody else.
    It makes no difference how long you had the tag, and there really is no way to appeal the decision. Please be aware that if you continue to create gamertags that can be considered offensive, you can receive a higher level of enforcement action, including banning
    of the account.

  9. Keep on trolling, I won't bite back, but I will say this.

    In regards to 3 agents agreeing with you, thereactually is a notable difference between humouring you, and agreeing with you. Maybe one day you'll work that one out. Good luck getting your gamertag back, you're going to need it.

    Enjoy the trolling.

    yeah you won't be getting that tag back and the others are correct if you change it to another just as bad tag too many forced name changes results in PERM ban of live.

    The support agents you spoke to are nothing to do with xbox live enforcement whatsoever so it doesn't matter what their opinions are.

    The gamertag was definately against the code of conduct & that is why it was changed.

    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

    gamertag change

    Hi there,

    I'm afraid there are no free gamertag changes, if a gamertag was deemed to break the CoC/ToU then you will given a generated one and if you want to change the gamertag into something chosen by yourself it will have the fee like any gamertag change.

    See this link for the steps:
