Gamertag forced changed

SaltyFawn676480 · Jan 17, 2018

hi my gamertag has been reported for violations of terms and conduct. Ive had the gamertag for almost 2 years now and had no issues with it or anyone else. Im an upcoming streamer and the gamertag is apart of my reputation and mainly my job.

If i could have the option to have it back that would be super, but even the case that my name has been changed and i now have to spend money on changing it to something else seems a bit steep. Concidering I didn’t want it changed in the first place.

I was just curious on if you could help me gain it back over the fact that it is apart of me. Or atleast have another free gamertag change so i can move on.

Because to my followers and friends im known as ([Mod Removed]) not ()

I have spoken to tech support and they said the have forwarded you my side of the story.

On another not i do believe i was reported by someone who was rather upset with me for no reason.

:)

Any enforcement actions like this are actually handled by the enforcement team at enforcement.xbox.com

If eligible you can file for a case review there.

The enforcement team does not monitor these forums.

As far as the gamer tag change being forcibly changed that decision was made by the enforcement team when it was reported that it was in violation of the code of conduct and they would be the ones to determine if you can get it back or not and if not then
per the terms of use you would have to pay for a new gamertag. since the original one was in violation of the code of conduct.

it doesn't matter if why he wanted to report you

Here is.the thing

He saw a violafion and reported it

And guess what it is a violation

You aren't allowed to use drug references in your gamertag therefore you cajnot get the name back and since it is a obvious violation you won't be able to get a free name change

Either buy your own change and not repeat the offencive word or.keepp the one you got

Also if you try and repeat the name.without removing the offence you can get a future forced name change and too many of those can lead to a perm bab

The Xbox Policy Enforcement Team only issues forced Gamertag changes to Gamertags that violate the ToU and Code of Conduct. When a Forced Gamertag Change is issued, your Gamertag is converted to a randomly generated tag. I'd recommend just gathering up
the $9.99 and paying for a change, since your Gamertag does not seem to be in violation of the rules, and I do not foresee a Forced Gamertag Change being issued for it.

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.

Hi, forced gamertag changes are only imposed under certain circumstances. Having your personal info, name etc isn't recommended but also isn't against the terms of use or code of conduct.

The link above explains about forced gamertag changes and what circumstances they are imposed. Other than that you're looking at paying for the change I suspect. The link below explains the gamertag change process in detail.

If you were forced to change the gamertag, it would have been forced by the Product Enforcement Team. If the gamertag was reported as being offencive, and the PET decided that it was, then the gamertag is forced to change. Chances of getting the old gamertag
back is slim to none, as once a gamertag is used, it remains unavailable for something like 5 or 7 years. Plus, there is a good chance that, even if you were able to change it back, that the PET would simply force you to change it again. And beyond that, the
more you are forced to change your gamertag for ToU violations, the more chance you have of getting suspended. I would just chalk the old gamertag up as gone, and go from there.

Hope this helps!

Possibly a forced gamertag change?

Forced Gamertag Changes

When a forced Gamertag change is imposed, the system automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the affected 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. However, the Gamertag that received the forced change will remain unobtainable.

A forced Gamertag change may be issued if a Gamertag visually resembles, sound likes, represents, hints at, abbreviates, or otherwise insinuates any of the following:

Profane words or phrases
Topics or content of a sexual nature
Hate speech
Controversial religious topics
Notorious people or organizations
Sensitive current or historical events
