So, bungie says my name is not allowed on xbox live ONLY when i try to put something on my file share. i want to try to post a map and share stuff with my friends but i can't if i dont have it on my file share. it always let me put whatever i want in halo 3, never had a problem, never changed my name... my name is i eat clowns BTW. Is that like, offensive to some people? does it hurt your feelings in any way? NO! so why does it not work, please respond if you also have this prob, or you know whats wrong... cuz its really a pain. -i eat clowns[/FONT]
it denies "eat" for some reason apparently... Maybe some fat guy found that offensive, but i'm guessing that it probably has something to do with "eating d__k"
They're pretty anal when it comes to stuff like that. My friend got banned for a couple weeks for saying he was black in his Xbox profile... The funny thing about that is he is actually black, but they thought he was just some white kid making a stupid joke. GG...
List of things censored by Bungie: epic basement dweller sex (and compound words, i.e. homosexual) Bungie DavidJCobb (in map descriptions only) polygons (unverified) ass (in Halo 3, this affected "assault" and "assassination") glitch (Reach only) retarded List of things not censored by Bungie: cream her cream her til it leaks wagina bung1e [any combination of accented characters resembling "ass"] n1i1g1g1a retarted moron idiot faaaaaagggggggg List of things rarely, if ever, moderated by Bungie: Screenshots of player models in positions that imply sex acts, including but not limited to 69ing, fellatio, fingering, carpet-munching, DPing, threesomes, etc. Screenshots of people who wasted valuable time making poorly-drawn nude/pornographic anime in Forge Screenshots of people who wasted valuable time making well-drawn nude/pornographic anime in Forge List of possible reasons why Bungie's filter is so bloody idiotic: Moralist corporations and media A half-hearted and half-assed attempt at some kind of ESRB compliance (which is unnecessary for online content) A half-hearted and half-assed attempt at Microsoft XBL regulations compliance Overapplying anti-discriminatory hiring practices and hiring people suffering frmo severe mental retardation List of things you can do about it: Change your gamertag Complain Funny. Me and my black friend did make a stupid joke like that (black armor + stereotypical ghetto-speak) and we've received no disciplinary action whatsoever. Hm.
Everybody in the world needs to read this post at least twice, its so full of hidden win lol. I reread it and find something new, then laugh yet again. +****ingrep!
I dunno what made him stick out. But he didn't really go out in games and make jokes (or so he tells me...). It'd just been in his profile information for a while and I guess someone caught on and found it offensive. You probably didn't get banned because it's not like every time you so something wrong Xbox catches onto it immediately. You just have to be at the wrong place at the wrong time I guess. Regardless, the whole system is extremely over-sensitive.
Bungie really needs to update their filters, I mean they block inv for some reason, so therefore you cannot say in the map description "Supports all gametypes except invasion & ....." Kinda stupid IMO
Agreed, definitely the best Bungie-censor related post ever. I lol'd pretty hard at some of the stuff in there.
I'm guessing the reason Bungie censors "basement dweller" is because of the "semen" part, but I think you knew that already.
Random tidbit: The description of Spire that was written by Bungie is also censored by Bungie if you make a custom map on it. /fail
They block the word "tomb." I wanted one of my maps to have the "tomb" in it, and they frakking blocked the word "tomb." I mean, what the hell? "Oh yeah, take my rock hard... Tomb." Kinda makes a sex act unnecessarily morbid. Oh, and batshit insane.
You can't even say "Adolf". What if that's your name? Also for some odd reason you can't make a file with the word "Powerhouse" in it. So there can be a map on the disk called Powerhouse, but we can't write that? Makes a lot of sense, Bungie.
i have family setting so i can't even talk to people let alone insult them... exept for t-baging but that has nothing to do with my name [br][/br]Edited by merge: i know someone named "keshas kamel toe" and has never had any problem
