Be Excellent To Each Other

OK, so if I were to change me motto to, say, 'carpe pudendum' or summat, would I get banned or anyhting? I'm not sure how it works, and have always found XBox online to be a wonderful place (except when Dimrill is on because he's a knobend). Is it acceptable to say vagina on there in Latin?

What's the raciest thing you've seen on there (not including a semi-clad Dimrill)?

I have 'sex forever' in Welsh as my motto and in the last 18 months have had no aggro over it.

I did, however, draw the line at making my gamertag 'Perky Tits' as that would undoubtedly have been nobbled.

It's pointless to have any sort of clever gamertag, as the illiterate fucking Americans who make up the tragic majority of Live players will mangle their pronunciations of it.

It is at times like that where I miss Neocron which had almost no restrictions on your character's name - I was Sophie Ellis Bumsexx0r, and got a lot of 'ha ha! great char name man' compliments

I've just read that you can manipulate the rumble of a fellow chatter's pad using your triggers in live vision chat (got me cam today) which is a little known foray into the world of teledildonics by M$, and fair play to them for that. Which means they can't be that hostile to a bit of online smut or kink, and that's coming from someone who played Space Giraffe before Allard made Minter take all the filth out.

I might not go with carpe pudendum, as it is a little less obscure than welsh, in the worldwide gaming sense.

Me mate Kev (innit) who we've played CoD4 with recently changed his gamertag to 'Fanjita Lips' because it sounds a bit like 'fanny lips' and wanted to see if he'd get away with it. So far, he has.

Zio, step forward!

Isn't it other gamers who have to complain about your name before you get banned for it? Even then, I think it takes loads to complain before you're banned.

Microsoft will just send you warnings and ask you to change your name (for free too because I think it costs 800 points to change your gamertag on a whim)

I doubt other gamers will be bothered to complain about a gamertag to be fair.. I wouldn't.. but then again, I am a broad minded adult male.

A tad extreme?

Yeah, I wonder if I have a "sorry, your name is offensive" message waiting for me when I turn the Xbox on next. Just as well I don't live in Scunthorpe really.

Exactly... a lot of XBox players are American and as you know, a significant portion of Americans are "all Jesus and shit", therefore seizing vaginas is perhaps not something they'd approve of. One of those sanctimonious deluded slack-jawed pricks is sure to know Latin, by some bizzarre happenstance. That'd be just my luck.

You might want to adjust your pants, your bigotry is showing.

ProTip: If you signed up with a rubbish name but don't want to fork out 800 MicroShaft Points to change your name, get all your friends to say it is racist. I know people who have helped their "online" "friends" do this. MS let you change it for free then!

My friend told me of one of his work pals that had a GamerTag of "ManUSuck", in reference to the footie team. Apparently loads of 'merkins complained about him because they thought it referred to them as players individually, and he had to change it.

How true this story is, I don't know.

I liked that a gay had a Gamertag of "like 40 ninjas", so when someone on your team gets killed, it flashes up something along the lines of,

"Myoptikakaka was killed by like 40 ninjas"

How did you know he was gay?

they had sex

I have, of course, had the gamertag 'Skullbugger' for well over a year now.

I think you get away with that because it's not swearing in American-English. If it was Skullfuck you might have a different story...

I'm half-tempted to change my gamertag to 'Dr Awkward' as it's my favourite palindrome. Who fancies reporting me as a racist (and to Microsoft, too)?

Can I report you as a commie fag instead?

Mine too, now.

A guy I knew in Cumbria had the gamertag 'JEWGRINDER'. The daft Nazi...

Thanks Dimmers, your report will be thoroughly binned investigated.

Shh! He'll turn up here if you're not careful.

Yeah, he hangs around b3ta as well, mainly posting videos of him pleading innocence.

Was that really, really him posting that video that was newslettered last week? 'twas in slightly bad taste, that.

Yep. He popped up about a year before that too, and was utterly utterly barracked with hatred.

Mmm, he's had a few bans, hasn't he? I used to be a b3tan, until I got ripped apart for posting an incredibly obscure competition entry involving Merzbow.

Aye, it's a strange place. As long as you avoid the 15 year olds who try to turn it into facebook, you're fine. Plus the regular people seem to like my stuff.
