    Gamertag has been determined to be inappropriate


    I received a email regarding my gamertag. I'm playing on xbox360 and my old gamertag was 5 and has been changed to . I'd like to know why my gamertag was changed and how is any different the 5?

    Also, all of my save game is GONE. Where is all my equip, char, etc...

    Thanks,

    Anil Singh

    :)

  2. My gamertag was changed for no reason

    My gamertag was "[Mod Removed]", and just now I received an e-mail saying "This email is to notify you that your Xbox Live Gamertag has been determined to be inappropriate." Why? Is "[Mod Removed]" that offensive?
    Why? Now it'll cost me money to change it because they named something random. Why is this happening?

    your gamertag has Zero gamerscore, it seems to me you accidently have created 2 gamertags and named them similarily. this could easily be caused if you had used 2 different email addresses (for example by typo and then afterwards correct email).

    xbox Support can help you sort out if this is the case.

    if you recieved a forced gamertag Change by xbox your gamertag would have been randomly assigned with a combination of 2 words and a number like "NameChange12345", not just your current gamertag -1 Digit

    Anil was a violation. Repeating this pattern will lead to permanent account suspension.

    I assume that "Anil" was the violation because it contained my name. It would have been nice to that was the reason because it used my name. They should not have allowed me to do that if it was a violation. Also, the email saying my gamertag has been
    changed should have contained some indication of my NEW gamertag as you indicated I went into a old account because It was NOT made clear of what the new gamertag was.

    You don't need to know the new Gamertag to sign into your account. You sign in using the email and password with which you've always signed in. If your profile is still on your console, simply sign in, go to Settings --> Account --> Account Security, and
    look at "Current Microsoft Account" to see the email with which you should be logging in. If your profile is no longer on your console, and you cannot remember the correct email, contact Xbox Customer Support, and they should be able to locate your account
    based on the contact information / billing information you provided.

    As for not allowing you to put something in the name.. they cannot feasibly anticipate every variant, every dodge, every sound-alike or look-alike that the community may come up with. So they take it on good faith that you won't make a bad name. Just like
    a convenience store can't always stop you from shoplifting, being able to do so doesn't mean it should be allowed.

    So now I am forced to pay ten dollars to change my gamertag to something i like instead of having an Xbox generated, lame one? This has happened to me before and I was granted a free gamertag change.
