    Hi Guys

    I just got a xbox automatic rename, my previous gamertag was [Mod removed], i've had the name for 3+ years playing on xbox live with no problem what so ever today i wake to a email informing me that i got renamed what is wrong in my gamertag
    that microsoft would rename me after having the name for more than 3 years.

    To those who know GTA San Andreas i got the gamertag from

    Bounce FM, DJ : The Funktipus(voice by
    George Clinton
    )

    Location: East Los Santos, Los Santos

    Genre: Funk, R&B

    why must i get renamed, i've used the name so so ling all my friends know me as Funk why couldn't they just rename me to funk then.

    :)

  2. It would be cool if you could rename the xbox

    The Original Xbox console came with a name and could be renamed. I remember finding it while playing Dead or Alive. I renamed mine Tiger.

    I would love to rename my One.

    Doesn't matter how long you've had the tag,it has only just been reported,investigated & found to be in breach of the code of conduct which is why it was changed.

    When you are issued a forced name change you are given a randomly generated gamertag.

    If you want to change it again you will have to pay.Beware,to many fnc's will result in a permanent ban.

  5. Hey Daft

    Thanks for your reply i fully understand the T&C, hence i don't understand how my gamertag
    [Mod Removed]can be considered in any way a violation of those T&C.

    The funny thing about all this is nothing nothing is given about why just that a user or xbox support found it inappropriate, if i may ask this question [Mod Removed] what is inappropriate in the gamertag

    Breakdown - Funk - Is a music genre but used in the sense of being cool when shortening the word Funky

    De - another shortening for The

    [Mod Removed]- is a informal word for Cat

    All in all FUNKDEPUSS is COOLCAT but spelt in slang, this really doesn't make sense as i can't find what is inappropriate in my gamertag

    To be honest it does sound like a topic of a sexual nature which is quite common with George Clinton.

    Doesn't matter where you got it from it does have a double meaning,the one you mentioned & the one it got changed for.

    Nothing you can do to get it back i'm afraid.
