If you currently have a variation of ‘Ben Dover’ as your name onXbox LIVE, you will be required to change it if Microsoft hasn’talready banned your name. It seems to me like Microsoft is getting alittle too “PC” and trying to eliminate any kind of creative screennames that may have adult meanings behind them. Recently, Microsoftalso decided to ban any screen names with the word “gay” included.
Are they going too far with name restrictions? What do you guysthink? I realize that Microsoft is worried about offending people, butperhaps they are going a little too far. How about banning thefoul-mouthed punks who continually plague XBL? Screen names are reallythe least of my worries.
I say MS needs to stay out of everyone's business until someone complains, and from what I hear, people complain often on XBL. I know someone who has been banned from a server just for his username, he didn't actually do anything. Some people in this world make too much of a big deal about nothing. No one gives a shit if you swear in a game, especially if single player contains swearing.
