Spectral Jester Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Vince if you were to do that it would be abusing the system, that said get everyone in your friends list to report it, that should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think that Microsoft would either ignore the complaints or not do anything, because the gamertag vince4420 isnt offensive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. The system can't be abused on this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Silverado Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 800 MS points is $10. It ain't that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think it's cute how people think that a company as large as Microsoft actually even READ filed reports. xD Basically here is what happens. A report is filed. The automated system that Microsoft has in place notes this report. If there are enough similar reports, the system takes action with either a ban, warning, or making someone change their gamertag. No one actually READS the reports, because there are simply too many made on a daily basis. So Vincent, all you have to do is ask your friends to report your g-tag, or if you don't have friends, make some, and then get THEM to report your gtag.

No one said that some person actually reads the reports one by one. The same automated system has filters though and double checks the reports and why they are filed, and if the name of the gamertag (such in this case) passes through the filters, nothing happens. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that. Except that the filters of which you speak actually prevent people from creating crude gamertags for x-box live. Trust me, tried to make one that was WILDLY inappropriate. And I know two people who have changed their g-tags by having people report them. The system used is the same one for reports about system tampering and glitching. If there are enough reports about system tampering and glitching, then BLAMO, autobanned. The system was created with the logic of "Well, whatever filter we make, someone will figure out a way through it, and we have more important things to do, so if it offends enough people then we will make them change it." You would be surprised at how few people who have gtags that say things like "Baibeetr91" actually get forced to change their tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
343industries Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I would actually report a gamertag as hideous as that to force him to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
