No there's no other way unless your name is offensive. Just pay the 800 points and get it over with.

No, they make you pay. Looks like you're going to have to deal with it or pay 10 bucks if you really hate your Gamertag.

I think getting a lot of people to report your name will work... I don't know though, I think they actually look at the name and decide for themselves. My brother has had to change his name twice already. His first was MAD JIHAD, and someone thought that was offensive some how... so he changed it to MAD JEHAD... and again, someone eventually reported it... that's not offensive so maybe they don't read the name, maybe it's automatic.

I hope mine couldbe said to be offensive, I really want to change it to Obesity, it would be nice tosee "Obesity killed-----", if not at least it's only 10bucks.

Only if it violates the Code of Conduct, if not then MS will not do anything. They even say on Major Nelson's site.

The name "mad jihad" shouldn't be offensive in the first place.

No one would go al sharpton on the name "mad crusade"

Exactly. It was just a name he picked up while playing Battlefield 2 for PC a while back, he's had it for years... he called MS, and the guy on the phone said he agrees with him that it isn't offensive but he can't do anything about it.

If enough people report it as offensive then yes you can do it for free.

Because micrsoft just want it changing and make you do it.
