[MrTroubleMaker]

lol the name change

 

[see5harp]

MS are legit one of the worst companies ever when it comes to this sort of thing but seriously OP your story comes down to "they did not like my homophobic name and gave me two opportunities to change it but I gave them a solid fuck you both times and now I didn't get what I wanted" story really does not touch my heart even in the slightest. PS fuck you.

What?

Lol what? Non indication it's homophobic so that notion or assumption is all you. I just thought OP thought it would be cool if people thought he smashed ass all the time.

Anyways this thread has been so great. Wish I had as awesome a story as faintcolt now has

Okay, I'll bite. Please describe in detail how butt smasher or any variation of it are homophobic of all things.

also is buttsmasher meant to be parsed as butt smasher or butts masher

this is important

 

[TheSlySoul]

*applauds the mods*

They gave you two chances to change your name, your own fault.

 

[KojiKnight]

just posting in a legendary thread

holy sh*t at that name change

Same here.

 

[Floridian]

Was that gaf name change intentional? If not then I feel bad.

 

[dohdeaux]

I've literally lol'ed more then twice reading this thread, fucking epic!

 

[Diablos]

Mwahahahah

 

[Baalzebup]

Why? OP seems to have embraced his new identity, bestowed upon him by the almighty. Even got a cool custom avatar for it.

Nothing homophobic about it. You're reaching mate.

That aside, one of the funniest threads I've seen since tony hawk.

Alright then.

 

[Frog-fu]

I'm gonna need a week to recover from this thread.

 

[krang]

That Phil Spencer has me crying!

 

[GreatestHits]

I hope hes happy with his new, even more homophobic name. Epic backfire thread

 

[Ashes2Bashers]

LOL...What an epic thread...

 

[FTF]

Just catching up on this thread now...and my god is it amazing lol

 

[kozi_1200]

This thread is legendary. omg

 

[Yokai]

Faintcolt is truly the man who sold the world. Kojima will make a game about this turn of events for sure.

 

[x24hrs2livex]

Is there actually a 3 strike policy for live regarding gamer tags? I haven't really read the fine print to be aware of one.

Anyway. Thank you again neoGAF for making my day just that little bit better.

Also OP gets +1 internets.

MS does not have a 3 strikes policy regarding gamertags. Up until last year MS policy for name changes was to temporarily ban people from Live until they changed the offensive gamertag. Once it was changed the offender could start playing again.

As of January 1st 2014(I believe) MS changed that policy. Now instead of giving people the opportunity to change it for free they change it for you and make you pay for it. They did it precisely to combat people like FaintColt who couldn't take the hint.

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

This was the best thread for morning coffee on the porch. Pretty sure I woke the neighbors. Thanks gaf

 

[JORMBO]

This is why I love GAF.

They should make this version of me in to a new bayonetta attack.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

Greatest thread on Gaf since...since... basically forever.

Kudos to the OP for handling that backfire with so much humor and dignity, that new avatar is amazing.

 

[BigTnaples]

This is amazing. Made my morning after a long shift of buttsmashing.

 

[mpafighter]

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I wish FaintColt388301's tag read "Bish made me pay for my username".

 

[FaintColt388301]

"I did something wrong and they gave me a second chance so I did it again and they noticed but they gave me a third chance so I did it again and they noticed and won't give me a chance to break their rules a fourth time!
How do I fight this oppression, GAF!? I am the Rosa Parks of video games and I refuse to go to the back of the Butt."

It was only two chances, not three. Had I been given a chance again, I would have been able to learn my lesson and change it to something like ButtonsMasher

This really is the major civil rights issue we have here. MS denied me my right to learn. You're right.

 

[Dunan]

It may have been explained already, but how did Microsoft arrive at "Faint Colt" and those digits? Were they the OP's e-mail address or something?

 

[llehuty]

It may have been explained already, but how did Microsoft arrive at "Faint Colt" and those digits? Were they the OP's e-mail address or something?

Randomized gamertag.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

It may have been explained already, but how did Microsoft arrive at "Faint Colt" and those digits? Were they the OP's e-mail address or something?

I'm pretty sure MS has randomized gamertags where it's two random words slapped together with a bunch of numbers after it. When they make suggestions for your gamertag it's the same things.

 

[Maxximo]

So this means that buttsmasherrr is now free to use? Good..

 

[Zombine]

Should have changed it to Spartan1803816

 

[mcrommert]

To reiterate what everyone has said...your the idiot who didn't change it all the other times..its on you

 

[SamastahSukhino]

Faint colt is a bad assed name. The numbers just add to its beauty.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Looks like he's saying "ash."

 

[commish]

This thread is great. I'm still laughing.

 

[Crayolan]

This thread has me laughing so hard.

 

[Supaidaman]

Thank you for this GAF.

 

[Tiolazo]

Lol they smashed your butt bro

 

[KarmaCow]

Looks like he's saying "ash."

Welcome to pointless Tumblr gifs.

 

[rezuth]

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

Butt isn't bad but ButtSmasher... eeeeeeeeeeey
