Good day,
I want to understand why every time I change my name to something new, bungie always cancels it out and resets me back to Guardian####. My latest username - “Women Rights (Adept)” - was reset sometime during the Final Shape DLC, and I would like to know why. It isn’t offensive, it isn’t a slur, and it isn’t bad in the slightest.
I changed my name to Women Rights (Adept) because I’m an advocate for equal rights for women in the workplace. It it a major issue in my life, and it upsets me greatly that it gets thrown away from my account either because one guardian reports my name because they’re salty, or because Bungie themselves doesn’t believe I should be able to voice my opinions about equal rights. Why shouldn’t I be able to voice my feelings on certain topics that aren’t offensive in any way?
I’d understand if my username got reset if it had something in it dealing with racism, abortion, politics, or hate speech. However, I don’t see the reason anywhere in the Terms of Service not allowing me to have my username relate to a subject matter I truly care about, and honestly that says more about Bungie that it does about me.
Please, give me an explanation for this. It is unreasonable and it’s the second time it’s happened, when I see usernames that are way worse than mine.
Have a great day
- a concerned Guardian
Bungie has, in their naming policy, said that they can remove names for any reason they want without giving a reason or providing you with any way to avoid it in the first place or appeal it.
Which is pretty bad, but it is what it weirdly is.
Sorry.
