This is actually pretty funny. But, I do think you are wasting a little too much time on this. Yeah, I know microsoft is wrong and w/e, but even if you do get to keep the name, who knows how long it will be before they force you to change it again. But anyway, good luck!fleasquire

I just got off the phone with Xbox support andthe supervisorsaid that I can use the "YouUglyJackass" gamertag but the system will still reject it from being able to go on Xbox Live because of the word "jackass". I told him if I create this gamertag and it lets me play online, I'm calling him back. Well, the Xbox support supervisoris wrong! I can sign on Xbox Live with my new and much more offensive screename YouUglyJackass!

I called Xbox support to ask them why my tag name is no longer allowed online and the guy told me that I have been reported by players for having an offensive name. I asked him why would my gamertag get banned now after so many years of having it and having no problem until now. I asked him to transfer me to his supervisor so I could find out the exact reason. The support supervisor tells me that the system detected a offesive word in my gamertag, the word "jackass." I asked him why the system is forcing me to make a new tag name after having it so many years and he tells me that they just recently updated system the which bans the word jackass. They were giving me a free gamertag change as compensation for this issue which I'm not happy about.

I decided to make a new gamertag but with a the word "jackass" in it to see if they really banned the word. I first tried "YouJackass" and the system tells me that name is taken. I found this weird because I was told the word jackass is ban from Xbox Live. This is what I find really fishy, the system suggested a couple of gamertags with the word jackass, "DullYouJackass" and "MintYouJackass." I tried another gamertag "YouUglyJackass" which people will find offensive than my original tag "UglyJackass" and the system tells it's me available. What the **** is going on here, if Mircosoft no longer allowed my name on Xbox Live because of the work "jackass" why would it suggest me new gamertags with the word jackass and I can even create a offensive name "YouUglyJackass." I took pictures of my tv screen showing that the system is letting me make new tag names with the word "jackass" just to have it as proof so Microsoft wouldn't tell me I was lying.

I called up Xbox support to give me an explanation why the system is forcing me to change my original name "UglyJackass" which I've had for many years but I can create a new tag with the word "jackass." The tech support guy couldn't give me an explanation so he tried to cancel the force gamertag change on his computer so I can keep my name but he couldn't. He transferred meto his supervisor and after 10 minutes on hold, I got cut off. That aggravated me even more so I called again and I specifficaly asked for a supervisor right away. She put on me hold to get a supervisor and after 30 minutes of waiting, my phone cuts off! I call back again and I'm still waiting to talk to a supervisor. I'll post the outcome once I get through with my phone call.

change your gamertag to IAmAUglyJackass..maybe that helps. I think the word Ass is inappropiate for themkillerfist

It took them 5 years to decide the word "ass" or "jackass"in my tag is inappropiate. They knew this when I created my account in 2002 and each year they took money out my bank account for the membership fee. They have to come up with a better reason than that.

I don't talk trash since I don't use my mic and I don't cheat when I play.I don't quit games early unless my Xbox freezes or my line gets disconnected which happens once every blue moon. So the only reason that they could report me is havingthe name.I find it pathetic if a person reported me for having a name that doesn't even concern them.

I tried singing on today to play some Gears of War online and I got the message "In accordance to Xbox Live policy, the gamertag UglyJackass is no longer allowed. Please change your gamertag before playing on Xbox Live". What a load of bull****! After 5 years of having my Xbox Live gamertag since the original Xbox console, Microsoft's decide to ban it today. These idiots took almost half a decade to decide that my tag name is not appropriate. I wouldn't of mind if my account was like a year old but after 5 years and now they decided to ban it is really aggravating. Xbox Support is gonna hear it from me tomorrow!

I woke up this afternoon because my dad was laughing out loud and making a lot of noises. I got up and found him playing Wii Boxing on the Nintendo Wii in my brother's room. My dad had just bought the Wii for my little brother today and he was playing it more than my brother. I found this really odd because my dad who is 57 year old has never played video games since 1985 when the game Battle City came out for Famicom/NES. Seeing him swinging away and enjoying himself while playing the Wii made my day. It put a big smile on my face. :D

Truth_Hurts_U, I must say, you sound like really huge fanboy. I'll stay out of your argument though.

I don't think he's a fanboy but a true fan ofgaming, yes. He does own both the PS3 and 360. As far as his argument goes, he's making valid points which you Sony fanboys can't comprehend.

PS3 hasn't been out in the market for a year and they've already cut the price multiple times. I think Sony is breaking records for losing massive amount of money on a single console and it's only going to get worst with their new $399 pricing.
