Marathon Redacted my Bungie name

Launched the server slam and it redacted my name??? What the -blam!-. You're telling me my actual name MADDIE is not allowed? I've had it for years on Destiny. Better yet, it changed the name across marathon AND destiny. I won't play either game if it's not fixed, that's so messed up.

  • Hello there[url=https://tuxydoh.com/images/hi.gif],[/url]  A name reset to default like that means it was detected or reported, reviewed by Bungie and reset to"[b]Redacted####[/b]", that indicates that some part of the name broke the [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/CodeOfConduct]Code of Conduct[/url] or the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/7648312251284-Bungie-Name-Guide]Bungie Name Policy[/url], was filtered, and [b]cannot/should not be used again.[/b] When that happens, you get the new name cross play message in-game as notice of the name change. If you'd like to appeal your name change please view the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Troubleshoot?oid=48629]Appeal Ban or Restriction Contact Form[/url] and make sure to select that your Bungie Name was changed. Keep in mind, personal information such as names is not allowed per name policy

    • Just played the marathon server slam as well and after having the same Bungie name for 10 year of Destiny my name was redacted as well. I submitted a request to change my name back to “Dvatt”… Please Bungie I have so many gaming friends that know me as Dvatt rather than my IRL name.

    • Of all companies to try and tell people what’s proper they’re the number one that shouldn’t. They are the most backward m, bigoted company I’ve ever witnessed.

    • These names are not against code of conduct! This is a glitch/bug that must be addressed.

      • I'll just add this to the bucketful of reasons I already have for not touching "that other game".

      • I love how mentors offer ZERO help and they just copy paste some random info that has nothing to do with the OP complain.

        • So from what I get in this thread. Just make your new name 'This Is My Real Name' and see if it gets flagged.

            I have the same issue. Even though I was able to change my name back to original, my Bungie ID has changed which is totally weird, neither is ok. I have submitted and appeal via Contact Form, and hopefully it will be fixed. To be honest, it killed all my mood and hype of playing the game right now. Edit: I got a reply on my appeal, and marked as solved. But it did not solve my problem, because I can't change it to what it was before, with original Bungie ID -> djcookie88#5732.

          • Same happened to me. Myth must be really offensive I guess. Never was an issue. Log into Marathon, boom, name's gone. Now I have to learn new Bungie numbers... wonderful.

            Appeal it via https://safety.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/42349301189524-Contact-Form-Appeal-Ban-or-Restriction -> 'Submit Request' at the bottom ->picking 'Bungie Name was changed' under 'What type of content restriction are you appealing' text.

            • Hey there. Personal identifying information such as first names are not allowed in Bungie Names. As you've confirmed it is your actual name, then yes it is not allowed. [quote]Banned Name Policies Any Bungie Name that violates these policies or our Code of Conduct will be changed to "Redacted[Random Number]," and players may face an in-game ban. Changes performed by Bungie may consume a player's unused name change. Policies include, but aren't limited to: Personal identifying information (i.e., first and last names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.)[/quote] https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/7648312251284-Bungie-Name-Guide
