    Hey, I don't know if people have discussed this before, but I'd just like to ask. What defines what can be put in the Title or Description of your map without it being renamed "Blam!" on Xbox Live? I've never put swears or anything like that in, but it still tells me that it's inappropriate! Even things like "kill" have been rejected! I just sit there like "wtf? The whole game is about killing." So if anyone knows what can and what can't be said, that would make things easier. Thanks!

    I had a description that was BLAMed. I just deleted the last letter of the description and then added it again and it worked fine.

    "Bungie 500" was blammed when I loaded it up. Which I found hilarious. It's their own name.

    I know how stupid is that. And its a shame because the bungie 500 is like the race track.
    It doesnt like poo as well, will it accept blam as a name or will it blam that too?

    Yeah, as far as I can tell, the rules are basically no use of Bungie's name, (So that you can't claim that Bungie made it,) no swears, or anything mentioning teabagging. (Believe me, I've tried. And it was the best teabag too. There was a weird glitch where his legs stuck up through the floor... and I couldn't post it! :(
