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.

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.

Nothing homophobic about it. You're reaching mate.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
