Asked to change Gamertag for the second time...answers? Phone support advised to post on forum, please help!

After speaking with phone support just moments ago, I was told to post on the forum to get some answers. I just had to change my gamertag, again today and I'm trying to find out why. Previously it was; [GT REMOVED], I was asked to change it after trying to sign in so, I did...this time to; [GT REMOVED]. I am aware of the Xbox code of conduct but, I see gamertags everyday advertising drug and alcohol use, violence, derogatory slang and even one about "tipping your hooker". In no way did I create my gamertag to be offensive and changing it to the "[GT REMOVED]" was perfectly fine by me, for it still represented what I wanted it to. My gamertag is a nickname given for different reasons and one of the biggest reasons being *** Cancer Awareness. I've used it for a lot more than an Xbox gamertag and I would like to be able to use it once more. With the second go around, using a "1" instead of an "i" and changing the spelling of "life" should have solved any type of "problems" or so I thought. Was my gamertag flagged by a computer program? Other users? What can I do to get my old gamertag back??

Just because you view you gamertag not offensive doesn't mean others will. If you are given too many force name changes you will lose your account permanently. Go read the account suspension forums for yourself to find out.

The problem isn't how you wrote it, it's what you're trying to say. Changing letters to numbers doesn't change the word and it's still offensive to a lot of people. Remember that anyone can view your gamertag, even very young children. Keep it G rated.

Thanks for your opinion but, these are not answers. Xbox should then, at this very moment, make 300 + users also change their gamertag. If it is deemed that I simply just cannot use this gamertag, ok - i've already changed it...as you can see. My personal opinion is that my tag was not among the "getXucked" "tipyohooker" "(420)bluntxroller" etc etc....but, again. I'm just looking for an "official answer" to what I don't already know.
