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

Can someone explain the Faint Colt reference? That's going over my head.

it's just a randomized username they stuck his gamertag with when he continually just added a trailing "r" to an inappropriate gamertag

then the mods decided to have some fun

OP just roll with it.

You messed up in XBL and now GAF. Dont complain any more else the government will change your birth name too.

Absolutely amazing. The situation and the GAF response. I'm not sure anything could top this, except perhaps had Microsoft given him the name "NeedScissors61" instead.

FaintColt doesn't actually sound too bad. At least it'll be an available username on pretty much every website.
 
I'm cracking up imagining the OP actually calling MS support and having to verbally tell them about a name like Buttsmasherrr being changed.

*shakes head*
 
I truly pray a mod will change your GAF user name to FaintColt388301.

This is fantastic! Faintcolt you should be happy they didn't just ban your account it seems they have giving you enough chances.

I had a ton of friends back in the day have people report them so they could get around paying the fee to change gamer tags. I like the idea of just giving people abusing the system random tags.
 
I can understand that my name might have been inappropriate and why they would make me change it but to have to pay $10 in order to do so is pretty dumb. Is there anything I can do ot has anybody else had the same problem?
Did this dawn on you when you added the second or third r?

I truly pray a mod will change your GAF user name to FaintColt388301.

Amazing.

"What was your previous user name?"
"Butt Smasher"
"I'm... going to need to do an age-verification for security purposes. How old are you?"
"37, born [redacted]"
"OK, great."
"And is this your credit card or your parent's?"
"It's my parent's."
 
You got two chances to change it to something kosher, and you blew it. If you can't behave like an adult, don't expect to be treated like one.
