ive had a few friends ask me to complain about their gamertag so they are allowed to change it free of charge. how many people do you need to report you in order for it to work?

Just one. Each complaint is looked at by a human being. If they deem the complaint valid they'll make you change your name. If they don't think it needs to be changed I don't think 1,000 complaints against it would do any good. I could be wrong though.

Not true. First gamertag I had for over 3 years: Druchebag. Not offensive (even all Xbox live employees/agents/moderators agreed). Changed it a couple more times forcibly. Oh No Dru Didnt. Not offensive. Now I'm stuck with Alright Lets Go, because that's the mindframe I was stuck in. I would just make people report me for a free forced change, but I'm wondering how many forced changes until you get entirely banned.

You'd like to think with all the money they make that they would have someone for every department. But that's simply not the case. Gamertag bans are just a number of complaints in a short amount of time. Unfortunately it's just an automated service, and is irreversible.

lol the amount of time you spend asking people to file a complaint against it, it would make more sense going and earing the money, walk down to you local gameshop, and buying the 800msp to chang it :lol: also you could get banned maybe ... just buy the points lol

If you own a system that costs $200+ and pay $50 a year for gold, $10 isn't a lot of money. Whether or not it is worth it is something else.

You realize that 90% of the time instead of making you change it they just ban you right?

I beg to differ, $10 for a for simply the name that every time you change a name. I have friends whoo have litlerally changed their name over 10 times (over $100) . I could understand paying $5 ONE TIME, But these people who constantly change it. Why not take that money and do somthing good with it. If your chnaging yur name for a clan, dont. Almost every game out there has clan tags now. use those and dontate that $10 to feed 25 people in africa. When i started my xbl account I came up with a name that i liked. Ive had that name for about 4 years now.

it takes 0 thats right, one more time? 0. Why do i know this? because there is a name changer on the dash. BUT get ready make microsoft richer. In a way it's good think. People isn't changeing their name every 5 mins.

i have changed my name once and thats the last. way back on first xbox i had joe vs you, but i lost pass and email to the GT. so i had to use numbers for o's. BUT once microsoft came out and said they was deleteing all the old gts that havn't been active. i jumped right in and got my old name back.

Why play video games? It's an expensive hobby. You could use the money to do something useful.

Why? If they want to spend $XXX to change their gamertag, then that's their choice.

On a practical level, trying to get a name reported so they can change it? Really? Might as well just spend the 800 points instead of expending the time and effort for something that might not happen.

lol Ive been waiting for someone to post on my exream post. I have a job, I dont really give a care what other people do about their money. They earn it somehow they can do what ever the hell they want. IMO I do find changing gamertags constantly is a waste of money, but i am a cheap a$$. I pulled in the feeding of people in africa just to be a jerk by the way.

On another note, I find video games to be a vary affordable hobby compare to others. I do a few other activities, such as archery and cycling, but i cant really go too far without thealot of cash. So as a cheap ass, video game fits my personality... :P
