    Well the filters work well - until people become creative. Oh those creative humans! So for example if the word "suck" was not allowed - people would use suk or suc. Those of course are not even real words. If my son had created a Gamertag that was inappropriate
    - I would either make him live with it OR make him earn the 10 bucks to change it. I really do understand the situation. It used to be when you created or had created an inappropriate Gamertag they would clear the name then you were given another chance
    to change it. Some of these people would then proceed to create many many obscene names and eventually Enforcement had to ban the account forever. What the real problem is there are those who create content (Black Ops was the worse) without any care who it
    bothered. They could care less whether it was r situation (as a fellow dad) however the rules have been changed and not much else we can do.

    Last part was supposed to be - They could care less who it bothered. Whether that was an adult or a 8 tear old. Sadly the content is abused by the younger crowd thinking it is funny or cool.

  3. I can understand all of what is being said, but just to be given 1 chance would be fair. All the service team do is send us here to post the problem saying the enforcement team will have a look and get in touch. Surely to just review the tag would be quicker
    and easier? How many people get them changed for free or get refunds for changing the tag?

    None get them changed for free anymore. The 1 chance was abused over and over. Eventually all your doing is creating more work that Enforcement should not even have to be doing.

    I am not sure why support sends people to these forums for these type of issues. I suppose since support more or less is located in another country other then USA - there is a loss of communication between here and there. The truth is Enforce is a division
    that never has any contact with Live users other than on its forum and that is only for suspensions and bans. Out of curiosity did you also receive a suspension when they changed it? It used to be they would issue a suspension along with a forced name change,

  5. Its just as i thought, they fob the problem off onto this forum with the hope that you will get the tag changed or a refund. The advisor offered me a refund then after speaking to her 'supervisor' retracted it saying the enforcement team need 24hrs after
    posting on this forum. I never got any ban or anything, i had an email saying my tag was changed for being innapropriate and to follow link to change the tag. Then it trys to charge which is why i contacted support, who then said i have to post on here, its
    taken 2hrs and i got nowhere.

    i understand where they coming from, but its messed up for people that want to make their own, isn't that part of a profile, our own xbox identity? like they just gave me a name like hitler gave the jews a number in those camps. like i didn't even want the
    gamertag my friend set up, but i could never change it to something of my choice and more appropriate cause like i said i have diapers and bottles and formula for three kids. you'd think if it was such a problem for them then they would have it set up where
    u can't make ur gamertag inappropriate at all. like it wouldn't let you use that gamertag unless it was appropriate. I'd put my new gamertag up on here to show them its not inappropriate but then someone else would steal it before i could change it. so i guess
    im just stuck with this stupid gamertag for ever. might as well just switch over to sony

    Unfortunately you are stuck with the new one until you can afford to pay the 9.99. They used to give you a chance to change it for free - they ended that practice when people would just create another inappropriate Gamertag.

    @Itchy - not sure how you even came to compare Hitler with Microsoft. We are talking about genocide. How can a father of 3 children even go to this depth? Again - you need to blame the countless numbers of people who were given a "chance" to repair their
    mistakes when they created the Gamertag. These people cared about nothing and just created another poor choice. I have been through the diaper & struggling phases and have 3 wonderful children. They no what rules are - again I feel you are sort of blowing
    this way out of proportion.
