Xbox just changed my gamertag. They want me to pay to change it

Maybe you should just choose an appropriate name. Perhaps it's there way of ensuring people change their names for good and stop having childish gamertags. I'm for it, sorry. They gave you a free pass.

You aren't entitled to a free name change with Xbox Live. You use the service, you play by their rules.

You got a chance to change it so something they wouldn't consider a sexual innuendo and failed to do so twice.

EDIT: Holy Shit...

Unless your real name is Buttstopher Smasherton or something, I don't get why you were so attached to it in the first place.

I do wonder where "FaintColt" came from. Maybe they have a random tag generator for when they have to forcibly change someone's name?

You fucked up by being stupid with the two free changes they gave you. I kind of wish they wouldn't even give you the option to pay to change it this time and you'd be stuck with FaintColt388301 for life.

edit: hahahahahahaha well done mod
 
I truly pray a mod will change your GAF user name to FaintColt388301.

That would be....beautiful.

Edit: I love you GAF

Seriously though OP you did this to yourself. Obviously adding a few extra r's wasn't gonna solve the thing they took issue with. You got by for 3 years and then you likely got a report, probably during a gears match since its a haven for it.

If they asked you to change it again it was just gonna gain another R right? Well that's why they auto generated one for you.
 
I don't like the way Microsoft polices Gamertags on Live either, but you had two opportunities to change it to something more compliant, man.

For free. D:

[EDIT] - Dang, this thread blew up fast.

I feel like "butt" is pretty harmless. All the people with drug references in their names should be addressed first.
