  1. Region Settings Changed Without My Knowledge


    Hi All,

    I started receiving communication from XBox Live in Portuguese. I've never changed my region settings, so when I tried just a few minutes ago, it tells me that I can't change them because I've done so in the past 12 months. What? How can I update this so
    I don't have to deal with this any longer?

    :)

    If your name was changed it was deemed offensive. The old system did allow for you to pick a new one but people abused that. Now the enforcement team changes it and you have to pay to change it to something you like. You can make a post here for further
    explanation

    My name was in no way offensive. Actually, I went out of my way to make a good one. Which is why, I found it kinda wrong for them changing it. Yet my other account that is offensive i've never had to change. Besides little kids shouldn't be playing Gta
    5 and if they are offended their parent should take the game away being it's rated M.

    Region Settings Changed Without My Knowledge

    Hello!

    Are you certain the region was change and not just the language? Check and see if you can change just the language by going to your "Settings" then under "System" and "Language & location" if it is a region that your console was switched to you would have
    to wait until it allows you to switch it again.

    Hope this helps

    Language and location

    The language and location settings allow you to change the language display information of your console. If you move to a different time zone or region, you should update your console settings here.

    Language

    This setting controls the display language of your console. Some games and apps will also detect this setting and adjust their display language accordingly.

    Location

    This setting controls your console region, including the region for Microsoft Store content.

    Spoken language

    The spoken language setting determines the language that will be used for voice commands.

    I have a banned account from a homie playing on it. I didn't say it was my fault for being banned, stop assuming. Not my first rodeo dealing with that though. I don't really care what you say ngocphi. You strike me as a uptight goody two shoes that does
    no wrong. I wish I was as perfect as you kid. Like said, a gamertag does not define who or how someone plays. I play fair and treat those as i'd like to be treated. So find someone else who you can judge and make assumptions about. Now how do you all know
    who support can and can't contact. What they can do and what they can not do? Do you work there? Likely not. You call, message, etc and they are there to help you. Hence support. They are there to help. I'm sure they have numbers or someway to get ahold of
    anyone in the connected network involved with working within xbox live. Last, I have been reported on several occasions for no reason as some kids just want to create problems for you and your account. Other Words you don't have to always be doing something
    "wrong" to be reported. Take Halo 4 for instance. You can report someone for no reason whatsoever.

    The real problem is that people seem to love the shock value, or think its funny, or whatever, to register with a name that offends people. LIVE is a family service. Kids play on it. This is why your name must be rated G for everybody. I guess I just don't
    understand why people like offensive names in the first place.

    With such shaddy past are you sure you ain't hiding words like racists behind something

    Pretty sure they cannot override pet

    Nor can they make calls to pet

    Fyi multiple violations cha lead to further punishment

    Maybe you should focus on playing fair rather then cheating the system it gets you farther

    It's all good now. He granted me a free change on my gamertag so I don't have to pay 10$. Just wished it didn't take so much time out of my day off. I just don't understand to why my other gamertag which could have offended someone never had to get changed
    yet this one did. Call me paranoid but I don't wanna release it. I hope you guys can respect that because when I did that last time someone decided they liked it and stole it from me.
