    i spoke to your support team and they sent me here. reference number for this case:

    [Mod Removed]

    so my issue would be that my gamertag was reported and i log on to find out that i can not change this randomly generated tag your automated system gave me.

    i would like to look into this matter as i think my old gamertag was not offensive in anyway and part of a revenge attack by other players to unsettle me.

    as a solution i would like to see my old tag reinstated or given a chance for a free name change as i see this forced action will require me to pay you guys more money for something that was not my fault.

    Xbox one followers privacy/spam concerns. END IT

    Even if you change your Gamertag, you purchases and saves are still locked to your account. I could change my gamertag right now and I still have everything. It stays with the email address you signed up with, not gamertag.

    Need your opinion about a couple of gamer profiles

    It cost 800 Microsoft Points to change a gamertag, $10. Change your gamertag of the one you like to something else, and then change the other one to the gamertag you like. $20 investment and your playing on the gamertag you want to play on, and you have the achievements to show off your progression of games.

    gamertag changes

    Sorry to hear it. It does sound as though the PET have changed your gamertag due to it being offensive. You can request more information about the change at the following link

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

    As for changing it to something else, you'll need to pay the $9.99 required to change a gamertag. There are no more free changes.

    Finally, be aware of the tag you change to as further enforcements could result in the tag being banned from live altogether.

  5. so explain to me why it has taken about 2 years for this to happen plus the fact i have been an xbox customer for over 5 years to deserve this service. without just cause you have changed my gamertag and not given me suitable option or time to change it
    for free.

    It may have taken 2 years for someone to file a complaint and bring the tag to the attention of the enforcement team.

    The forced gamertag change policy is per the code of conduct that you agreed to. As stated above, you will need to post in that forum to find out why it was changed, but they will only change a tag if they determine it violates the code of conduct, so they
    would have cause to do so.

  7. well be that true. its nice i got a more personal reply for one. am tryin to be nice about it. i just don't want this issue overlooked. be it my fault or not. i spoke to someone on support on the phone and she noted that i should of gotten a warning email
    about the impending change, which i was not given. plus the service so far i have been given in light of this issue has been dull. i feel like i have been slapped in the face by a wet fish. i shall make a post on the other forum for a solid answer but your
    all the same i am guessing.

    gamertag changes

    Phone and chat support do not handle suspensions/bannings/name changes so they do not have correct information about how they are handled. The enforcement team do not issue warnings before they take action. Your warning is the code of conduct/terms of service
    you agree to when you sign up.

    the warning is the code of conduct that you read and agreed to before using Live. in the past they gave free tags if they violated the rules (you could not sign in until you changed the tag). Too many people abused that by creating tags just as bad or
    worse so they removed the free one and gave forced renames with the option to get a better one for a fee. so blame those who abused the free change after a report.

  10. well being as it may code of conduct reads as

    . Communications & User Created Content

    Do not create a Gamertag, profile content, Avatar content, in-game content, videos, or any other content that other users may be offended by. This includes, without limitation, anything related to or suggestive of:

    Profane words or phrases

    Topics or content of a sexual nature

    Hate speech

    Illegal drugs or controlled substances

    Illegal activities

    Controversial religious topics

    Notorious people or organizations

    Sensitive current or historical events

    Any “sound-alike” or “lookalike” words, phrases, or puns that reference these topics.

    now i do not see it as any of that. tell me if i am wrong but unless someone has a twisted mind. how is this offensive.

    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:
