Post subject:  My Xbox Gamertag ban

I want to carry out a gamertag experiment. I want one person to register a new account with a new tag, with a name I will supply, and the other person to complain about it, then we'll see what happens. Anyone up for it?

If I can sign up for it on the LIVE website then I'm in. If I need my Xbox, then I'm out. :(

No, you'll both need to be on the Xbox and in the same game together, I don't want the complain to look suspicious -- it needs to be from a real game.

Then no, sorry. I can be available from 4, however. I'm sure you'll be sorted by then, though.

This sounds deeply suspicious.

I like it!
Sadly I can't help, as I am at work, and they have yet to allow me to play on my xbox at work. :'(

In fairness, whilst we talked about the article and name-banning on here, it was exclusively within the Call of Duty thread. Perhaps we should split it out for a wider audience?

Post subject:  Re: I need two volunteers who can get on their 360 this morning

Is the owt we can do to get you your name back?

Surely if thereismore complaints at the banning than at the name, they'll everse. Threaten to close accounts? Also, did they not teach Americans that GAy ever meant anyhting other than bumsexual, particularly as an adjective to describe a tree-coverd area pleasing to the senses?

Etymology, Uncle Sam, etymology.

You're a self fulfilling prophecy when it comes to whelks, CUS. I think you've got a whelk problem.

I understand they don't have whelks in the US, though, so salvation may be at hand.

I emailed them last night. The Inquirer has just put it up too though -- once you get on three sites it becomes self-propagaing.

I'm still looking for volunteers for skullduggery.

Yeah, I pondered that yesterday before emailing all the news sites but I couldn't figure a moneymaking angle in.

My surname is Wilcock, I wonder if that would get banned. Probably not. I'd probably have to be called Gaycock, or something.

Some geniuses at school, who are now either dolers or dead-enders came up with all kinds of hilarious permutations for my surname, hohoho. Less funny of course when I'm mashing their heads against an angle-grinder.

Post subject:  Re: I need two volunteers who can get on their 360 this morning

Are you kidding? It has COCK in it! ho!

Actually it's what I like to do when people can't spell my name correctly. They try to spell it with an x, or an xs, or a cks at the end. So I usually just say 'Wilcock, as in, you know, COCK'.

Xbox Media Center I imagine, the all-codec-playback software for the original Xbox. Their site has a community news bit, it probably came out from there.

I was keeping track to various articles reporting on it but I've just lost track now, there are too many.

The RSS reader in Xbox Media Center is set up by default to slurp headlines from http://www.xbox-scene.com and display them in a scrolling ticker.
