every one that agrees to consistantly email the bungie support address, please message now


There's no point, they all get screened by the volunteer mods. If you wanna clog the channels, flood the webmaster email.

Not the Xbox filter, the bungie filter. If the xbox filter had an issue with it i wouldnt be able to play on live. All this can be resolved very simply, allow me and all the others to change our names to one that is now accepted by the filter (even though the names we had originally were approved by the filter).

The thing that really ticks me off about all this is bungies complete lack of response, they won't even admit that this is an issue they're still claiming that they're "investigating" the cause of all this.

I think it's rather silly to ban offensive names and cause such a fuss when the game is about, oh... killing people. Not to mention the much, much, much more offensive (and constant) statements made over the headset.

You could argue there's a mute button, but there's also an "avoid player" button.

I'm just saying... it's a game about killing people, and I'm getting called horrific names with combinations of curse words while someone is defiling my dead body with their cod piece.

What's worse? Offensive names or killing people and humping them...?

Yeah, what aids blanket said. (PS, go join the group i just made aids). Any game that openly promotes (and if you try and say they don't promote it, then why is it on the homepage sometimes) necromancy has no grounds to say anything to others.

Oh wow, kids are corpse humping in real life now? What's this world coming to?

Actually, now that I think about it, that's a pretty good idea. Next time I win a case in court, the other lawyer is getting corpse humped big-time!

Seriously, though, I agree that there are bigger problems out there than offensive names, and frankly, they rarely offend me personally.

But I want to be sure to also say that two wrongs don't make a right. Just because players exploit the ability to crouch over a dead corpse does not mean that all offensive names should thereby be allowed on XBL.

I don't see what's so offensive about "The Deadly AIDS."

I can see why "Jew" would be added to the filter.

Seriously though, if they're going to add new words to the filter they should handle the restructuring of accounts and re-naming of gamertags in a more timely and efficient manner, though I'm feeling that this is more of a MS issue than a Bungie issue.

Especially in the case of Pure Jewel, who really is getting the short end of the stick here...

By the way, when I change my name again, I'm either thinking "The Deadly Juice" or "Unicorn Power."

Pretty good analogy.

I am one of the few caught in the crossfire of this issue. My kids picked my gamertag Jewel FREEK because I make jewelry and our dining room table is covered in beads. I'm really bummed I cant access all the services from bungie. From my kids accounts there are alot of things I wish I could utilize. I hope I am not forced to change my gamertag. Yet again it would be nice to view stats and screenshots etc etc. I e-mailed bungie bugs and they sent me this forum and named it "disembodied soul" I hope they are working on resolving this soon.

are you serious? I agree with everything you said except for the beginning. You think that The Deadly Aids is less offensive than jew?
i seriously doubt that you have aids, and im sure that a lot of people find the fact that you used the virus in your video game gamertag very offensive

I'm offended by women outside the kitchen... can we ban all gt's that chose "female" for sex... or at least make them prove that they're playing from the kitchen?

I'd like to lobby for a new armor type, even better than recon. Yamaka armor; cheap, flame retardent, and comes with a yamaka. Best of all, when your character dies, instead of the standed agonizing scream, you just get an "OY VEY!!!!"

1. I've read all the creative names in this thread and you win.
2. Yes, if you change your GT, it'll automatically update on here.

Alright i cannot access my account and i see nothing wrong with the gamertag "Chiefknokakill" it is just a reference to The Simpsons when homer made bart a robot and chiefknokahomer was already taken so i just made this. If this is offencive then isnt the game offencive seriusly if "Chief" is wrong then another 20% of gamertags are wrong.

Well all I can say is I find it odd. My GT splitjewel was accepted back in november I believe and now all of a sudden its "not showing stats" Well someone tell me what kind of filter lets you make a GT then decides its against the policy I dont see whats wrong with splitjewel Ive used this for years.
Please get this fexed soon., or I believe the words incompedent start arriving.

So am I expected to spend 800 Microsoft points to change my name, or will I be contacted in order to do it without cost? I've had my gamertag "DonkeyPuncher22" for at least 2 years, and never had a problem with it until this whole stats page situation.

ya dog, same with me. i feel for you. the same thing happened to me. if the filter doesn't want people to use GT's like these, then it just shouldn't let us make them
