I understand you are angry but don't vent here... Bungie doesn't block gamertags... Micro$oft does. Don't be ignorant

IT'S NOT MICROSOFT! It's bungie who's blocking the gamertag. The gamertag is 99.9% working It's just bungie who's blocking because of the jew word.

Indeed. Or at least potentially offensive. I'm going to guess words involving the Third Reich would be too since they're on the Blam filter.

Can somebody explain to me how the word "jew" is offensive? Is "muslim" or "christian" blocked in gamertags?

Anything that is Racial, religious, hateful, and some other key things get blocked. It may not be offensive, but it's not allowed in the filter.

You are officially now jealous of my Gamertag.

Yeah, so I'm just another Halo player who prefers the Carbine and likes Social games and Forge. If you want to play on Forge maps and ODST Firefight, PLEASE friend me and find a bunch of other players! I has no friends who play Halo. T.T

Wow. You guys. You're friend's gamertag was banned because making fun of Jews is anti-semetic, and that is not cool. And why are you defending your friend's racism!? I bet he's just trying to be like Henry Ford...

So.... are christian and muslim blocked?

What about "white" and "black". They are often used as racial slurs.

What if a guy's name is actually Christian? Can't he use his own name?

Well, how can the system tell the difference? It looks for keywords I'm sure so if it sees that word it won't look to see if it's a name it will just block it.

"Zombie" is also a blocked word. Bungie are racist against Zombies, which me and Mister Romero find offensive.

Damn you Bungie. DAMN YOU.
