I just signed into xbox live and was greeted with this message

"In accordance with Xbox LIVE policy, the gamertag 'f1ushfacker' is no longer allowed. Please change your gamertag before playing on Xbox LIVE."

What do you guys think of this? Is this overly sensitive?

Also give me some suggestions on what to change my name to, Im thinking 'cunningstunts', but I may encounter the same problems ;)

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions, Judging from the reactions though I can assume that my name is offensive to perhaps 1% of the population. This feels a bit like being censored to appease minorities (scratch that, it is) , I know its only a gamertag and its not a big deal for me to change it, but why should I have to for a handful of stupidly sensitive pricks?

I don't see a problem with f1ushfacker...
It seems to be harsh but hey-ho, you now get a new one!

I can't really suggest one but RabbitMcNinja might seem good.

Wow issues, caps lock isn't cruise control... My name stems from my poker playing nickname I couldn't care less if it is funny or cool to you, I like it. Thanks for your completely useless input, bye now.

Unless they will pay for you to change your name (or give you the option to do it for free) then I don't see why you should be forced to alter it because somebody might possibly get offended if they take the time to do an anagram of your gamertag.

I think that is a tad ridiculous.

Do you have to pay for the change?...
Haven't checked yet, I was thinking the same thing. Being Microsoft it wouldnt surprise me if I do. I am ready to rage!

It's license to print money if they can demand you change it and charge you for it at the same time.

Why don't you just change it to flushfacker? Just change the 'one' to the letter 'l'.

I have that as my original account, which it turns out they haven't asked me to change. In other news there are people with the gamertag 'CunningStunt' and every variation, and yet I have to change mine, no fair?

Sorry, but people are forever trying to be rude, and just because YOU don't mean it, doesn't mean the other 9 out of 10 people aren't.
Unfortunately, Facker at the end there falls into "half-rude, can be seen as offensive" etc. etc. It's sort of like SweetAsSugar. There's an ass right in the middle of there, but no-one would get offended. Still, no good.

Cunning and Stunt are actual words that make sense together so, although they can have rude implication there is no way to prove that was the intent.

The only time "fack" is ever used is as a substitution for "fuck".

Lol yea fair point facker doesn't really have any meaning, there are lots of words in gamertags that don't have any meaning though but that's a whole different avenue.
