Subject: Why was my service tag banned?

Hello,


My GT is illuminous and since the launch of Halo 3 I used the service tag I11. When I logged into Reach yesterday I noticed that my tag had changed, no big deal. I tried to change it back but I was not allowed to because the "tag was not allowed on xbox live". Microsoft's LIVE phone support referred me to bnet. Please advise.

I can't believe you actually phoned support about this.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”

They gave you advice that was incorrect. Halo.xbox.com is the official place for Halo stuff now.

Not sure why you took the time to post that.

Are you talking to yourself, me or the other guy?

I was trying to help you. I do not know why that service tag would be banned, but as you can see by the banner in the "Post to Forum" page:Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.
Halo.xbox.com is the official Halo website now, and you would get your best answer there.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

Gamertag: J7XD
New BNET: J7XD

I don't really know why that would be considered inappropriate, but this isn't the right place anyway.

Try here.

Stop banning me please.

LOL

IDK it is stupid

Left here a long time ago.

On the off chance that you're actually still checking this, OP...

Your service tag was banned because the person managing Microsoft's user-created content filter is a complete idiot, and the reason LIVE support referred you to BNet is because they neither know, understand, nor care to help with your problem.

I'll be on my own side.

Try saving a video of an Assault game. I've never been able to figure out why the name is censored. Maybe you could call support and ask them?

This text will appear with forum posts, groups and community files.

I thought it was well-known that Microsoft sucks at filters...

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Probably the same reason I can't save my "Elite Extravaganza" FF gametype to my FS. MS trying to "protect" kids that shouldn't be playing this game to begin with.

So true.

And tags like Kush and g­ay aren't censored yet.

It's banned. I can not begin reason as to why.
