What's being done about the racist gamer tags?

Your gamertag was racist & against the code of conduct.The only way to change it is by paying.

People are being banned every day for being racist etc. on xbox live so something is being done about it.

Hi,

You can easily change your gamertag for the princely sum of 800 Microsoft points.

Now if you were expecting a free gamertag change then I doubt that will happen unless enough people complain about your gamertag being offensive/racist etc which from what I can see it isn't.

You are allowed one free gamertag change if you created your current gamertag when you signed up for Xbox live though so you may be lucky.

I'm going to assume that what is going on is that you were issued a forced gamer tag change since the gamer tag may be deemed offensive. A forced gamer tag change can result in not being able to post on the forums until that gamer tag is changed.

^ um it had to have been spelled just one letter different and you must not have noticed.

A retired gamer tag gets a lock out for ten years. This is to ensure the user enough to too reclaim what's theirs.

I never heard anything about a policy change and the gamer tags now never being unlocked but I would not doubt it.

The very first gamer tags that had been canceled would most likely just barely be being unlocked.

Your previous tag was extremely racist.I remember that word being racist growing up in the 70's so it's nothing new.

As a rule,if in doubt don't use it.

If a tag is not suitable for xbox live then you can't post it on the forums.
