[MisterSamMan]

Thank you Gaf, this thread absolutely made my day! Soooo goood!

 

[Faltimar]

Should have picked a more appropriate name. Not something that might offend someone/people. You dope, pay your fine and change your name to something acceptable.

 

[StaffyManasse]

Oh man, why do these epic threads always happen when I am sleeping?

 

[Rockman]

ButterSmasher is much better than ButtSmasher. Lost opportunity.

 

[Exokell]

This thread is amazing, OP is brilliant with his +r equation. I just wish I read this thread when I was down.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

What was OPs original name?

 

[Tudor]

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.

 

[HF2014]

Congratulations, OP!

 

[Choomp]

Lmao. Capitan Todd getting a run for his money with this thread.

 

[super-famicom]

[lifeexpectancy]

So a little backstory.

I originally had my gamertag as ButtSmasher about 4 years ago. It got flagged for being inappropriate so they made me change it. They let me do so free of charge and I ended up just adding an R to it and had the name ButtSmasherr. Same thing happened not to long after and I did the same thing and added another r leaving me with the name ButtSmasherrr. I haven't had any problems since then. It's been over 3 years.

Then today I log on to play Gears after not really touching my Xbox for about a month and my name is now FaintColt388301. I tried to change it because that name is dumb and they want me to pay $9.99 in order to do so.

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?

You had your two freebies. You elected to keep a name you knew could be (was) offensive. Now you gotta pay. You have only yourself to blame.

FWIW I'm not offended by you smashing butts. Say hi to CBOAT for me. But yeah, that was playing roulette by just adding an 'r' to it. More than once. Sooner or later the chamber is full mate.

Spoiler

No pun intended on smashing butts and filling the chamber.

Good on you for being a sport about the whole thing though. I wish I could stumble upon something to give my GAF name or tag a story behind it lol. I'm far to average on this site to warrant a cool link or mod edit to my tag, unfortunately.

ButterSmasher is much better than ButtSmasher. Lost opportunity.

I died.

Thread of the year!

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

Pay The $10 And Change It To buttsmasherrrr

[Aztechnology]

Great way to end my night reading this thread.

 

[Psymatiq]

I cant breath....all those majestic gifs and his name change....lol

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Well, if this thread isn't the funniest in a minute..lol.

Oh, Gaf... never change.

Though I must say, I find gaf's tendency for these lynch mob type ocurrences incresingly disturbing and quite hypocritical... Especially considering how everyone tries so fiercely to paint themselves as PC and tolerant around here. We've got some serious issues, as a community.

What an odd post in such an amusing, innocent thread. Lynch mob? Disturbing and hypocritical? Good grief..at least save it for a thread where the OP is complaining..sheesh.

 

[PodcastFips]

Oh wow, this has to be the best thread in a VERY long time.

 

[industrian]

Just change it to xXButtttsmasherrrrrrrrrrrrrr420Xx

 

[Nokterian]

Holy shit this thread you made my morning thanks OP and mods and off course gaf lmao

 

[Newtype-001]

 

[...Scatter...]

My wife opined that perhaps "Buttsmasher" has a long, cherished history in OP's family. So I took it upon myself to create a Game of Thrones-style banner for him;


But since the name has changed, I thought an update would be appropriate;

I can't. The internet is yours for the day. All of it. Use it mercifully.

 

[dh4niel]

Your own fault for having a dumb gamertag, OP.

 

[Warablo]

I just ran into a FaintColt number gamertag on R6 beta, but I don't think it was from here. Maybe they change all the changed gamertags to that.

 

[TAJ]

Paying MS to change a tag is cheap.
Buying GAF Gold will ruin a man.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Guys what if Buttsmasherr brainwashed his best friend into becoming another Buttsmasherr to spread his legend, but the double got his name changed to FaintColt? So now we have the original Buttsmasherr, and his phantom FaintColt. How far does the rabbit hole go?

 

[komplanen]

OP deserved it. Great thread :-D

 

[Kodaman]

Thread of the year!

more like, thread of the yearrr!

 

[Ushay]

Next morning at work, I'm still laughing at this. Just brilliant.

Possibly the best backfire thread ever, who should I applaud?

 

[Grudy]

OP's gaf career was ruined and didn't even get a tag for it

 

[Psyren]

Goodlawd this thread. This was a hell of a way to wake up in the morning LOL!

 

[Shang]

Bookmarked thread in case I ever need a laugh. Thanks GAF

[thoseAREmySHOES]

Well, there's this thing on DeviantArt I found in, like, 2 seconds on Google Image search by searching "horse gun".

Incredible

 

[SURGEdude]

This thread is one for the ages. You are truly a god among men Mr Colt.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

This backfire is amazing.

Not reading the whole thread, but I can't be the only one that figured they had changed it to ButtrSmasher.

Would have solved all their problems.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

I hope there's a part 2 one day lol

\

 

[Piston Hyundai]

that's what you get for making a gamertag that was blatantly dirty and not subtly dirty

 

[Sylverstone14]

This thread delivered in ways I couldn't even fathom. GG everyone.

 

[Wild Card]

That name change. Yeah OP they totally gave you chances to change it, could have come up with something else, like Posterior Obliterator or something, I don't know if there system would have caught that. But at the same time I remember when they didn't use to charge for that shit, so I can't say I can side with MS that much either.

 

[Acrylic7]

this here is why I Gaf.

edit-
lol damn son

 

[RealityCheque]

Still, I would contact their support over it.

I would like you to record that phone call. It has some potential.

And you'll always be buttsmasherr to me.

 

[Justinh]

My contribution.

Good Gravy, this is delicious!

I didn't know mods could change names.

They should change it again to "FaintColt388301rrr."

 

[old manatee]

 

[Paskil]

A new challenger appears for thread of the year.

Get him.

 

[NeoGold123]

OP's gaf career was ruined and didn't even get a tag for it

He got something better! A new identity and a brand-new lease on life! If you ask me, I'd say he's very brave. Stunning, actually.
