Well, there is no "right" that you can have your gamertag be your name no matter how offensive your name may be to someone. Now then, I don't think this guy's name is offensive personally, but some peoples' names would clearly be offensive to some and thus any/all names that players deem offensive must be taken care of by MS with a ban like they have done here. They have no choice. If a certain number of community members on XBL report it as offensive, well, MS policy dictates it must be changed.

I have friends who have the most non-offensive GT's out there who send messages to me and other friends to report their GT so they can change it and it works every time. It's the way the system works. Your GT could be ABC123 and if you have a number of people report it then it will get banned, too.

This Richard Gaywood may really be his name but unfortunately he must accept the fact that this could have, and did, happen. Too bad. Deal with it. It's nothing personal by MS, but it's the XBL community. MS can't make exceptions or else there's no point to the system at all. As the saying goes.... "That's just the way it is......"

Again, deal with it. Call the waaambulance. And X-S, drop this stupid topic as news already. I, for one, am tired of it.

WOW! I can only imagine how things are up on Nazi Hill, the Microsoft campus. Fear is probably a controller up there. Wow...I can only imagine if a group of employees don't like you and they complain about you, WATCH OUT! From current events its obvious MS sides with the lynch mob.

Funny how the 360 has really brought out some of Microsoft's true colors.

That's pretty funny. Did Microsoft forget the point that nearly all of their xbox live users are offensive homophobic teenage boys. "FAG!" is probably the most used word on there. Kudos to Microsoft for keeping that extremely offensive name off of the network though. My virgin ears couldn't take the pain. Thanks for trying to sensor my internet experience. It was almost a nice try. I can't handle the thoughts and actions of other people on my own.

Well isn't that lovely, Microsoft deciding what we can and cannot hear/see. Makes all the homophobic christians real happy, didn't nazi's like to do that too in WWII?

Years ago I had a website called chuckscompushack.

.

.

The company that hosted my site shut my site down because the word shack has "hack" in it.

I mean come on.

I no longer have the site running.

It's just as well that my Japanese neighbor, Mr Takawana F#cksh!tc@nt, hasn't registered his name as a gamertag with Xbox Live yet.

(Yes, I did censor that myself)

They probably do have a filter for the word gay now.
