I just received a email from PSN that my account was suspended permanently due to a name violation.
Some of you may know who I am and my name was mildly offensive (it included a name of an STI) I understand some may take offence if they have the disease and then see it as " x has been killed by x disease " but it was a childish mistake when i first created my psn account all those years ago. (If PSN had a name change service like xbox I'd have changed it many years ago)
Main reason why am positing this is because at the time i got suspended (it gives a day of the violation) a person from who i beat in trials messaged me saying hes gonna hack me, report me and insulted me for about an hour till i blocked him. I'm guessing he's the player who reported my name and got me banned and its a damn shame that people like that ruin my entire experience on the playstation.
So just as a warning to everyone if you get salty don't go and report people unless the name is 100% insensitive or damn right cheating as it can effect a lot of people and hurt them as I have now lost thousands of hours on an entire account ps1, ps2 and ps4 not to mention all the online games, dlcs etc i have purchased gone overnight because of a salty pvp'er who couldn't get flawless.
EDIT1:
Dear ***, we are contacting you regarding your Sony Entertainment Network account and your recent online activity.

This email is to inform you that your Sony Entertainment Network account has been permanently suspended due to severe breaches of the service Terms & Conditions.

EDIT2:
Been shitting a brick for a while due to strong words such as "Permanently banned" and "severe breaches" but they assured me it was just because of my name and since I've never been in any bother with them before and my account has been around for so long they will allow me to submit a name change request but if that actually happens or not is to be seen. Fingers crossed!
EDIT3:
A lot of people been asking for my actual PSN name. I don't want to give that out since they is haters and children who could and probably will report it even more so withholding it for now.
EDIT4:
A lot of people been asking for what was sent in the message in the trials match. I looked at my saved screenshots and unfortunately only got the start of the messages. I've blurred his PSN name and my full name to stop people been general dicks:

And just to be clear. In this particular trials match they was in the back of the C spawn in last weeks trials so I was flanking with the trials pulse rifle picking each one off as they hard-scoped the pipe thing trying to headshot my team mate who was literally just sat down watching them around the corner every round.
Edit 5:
I received a response from Sony FINALLY... basically saying they accept my 5 name suggestions and they going to begin processing this. Unknown how long this will take so will update when i find out more:

That's so childish. I apologize on behalf of the immature.

2 RepliesIs my Psn name (Coolbeeps) offensive?

It's The-Cure123. It's linked to your bungie profile dingus.

Hope it works out for you OP. People do stupid crap all the time, especially "years ago." It's partially on Sony for not catching it on a filter to begin with and it's also customer service ass-hattery for not asking you to change it before banning you, a paying subscriber. People can talk down to you because you were asking for it, but Sony can eat a bag of'em IMO.

It's not about the name it's the money. I say this because they could have given you x amount of time to change names but instead they know you have to spend the money on a new ps account
-
You really should have known better.
-
They allow you to change ur name once before you are permabanned So u messed up
-
This also happened to my friend. Exact same thing. He fought with playstation and they gave him his destiny account but that was it. He had to create a new name on the spot and lost all trophies from from everything destiny included. His name was also a sti name but his was a fictional one created on the Internet.
-
I would really like to find the outcome of your situation. If it works we could all join together and just report one another relentlessly until Sony gives in to make name changing a thing. Think about it, the only logical reason they don't want it is because of all the headaches and issues and extra work go into changing a name. But if we flood thier servers with ban requests maybe they will re think their approvh.
-
You got banned for cheating.
-
Pm your name
-
It seems you can reasonably just submit a name change request. If you saying it took years for them to just now acknowledge a bad name, then just ask to change it, ESPECIALLY since PSN offers no kind of name change service, and you actually need to have your name mandated to be changed for it to be changed at all. Just call support, and I'm assuming you did with that edit.

Don't be mad cause your sn was a diseased phallus

2 RepliesXbox gamer tags are so bad you sit there and wonder, did you ever think before you made that your gamertag

Good. I hate people with those childish and insulting names.

7 RepliesEdited by linger: 11/11/2015 8:40:45 PMIf they allow the name to be created in the first place they should of given you a warning first and force you to rename your account using your own$ and if you refused then that's when they can ban you, legally. Check their ToS and email them. I also think that people with insensitive names that mock diseases etc are losers. But you learn now.

2 RepliesMy old psn was banned also. I was in a snoop dog phase and did a play on my last name to come up with Jewnizzle. Yes, the first 3 letters of my last name are Jew.

It sucks, but I have heard about this happening in the past. I wish Sony could implement PSN name changes but from what they've said, it's a technical process for them and they don't even know if it's possible. I think if I had a questionable PSN, I'd probably go out of my way to lay low and not even bother to PvP, for basically the reason you stated: people are immature and abuse the report feature. I'm curious, though, you said Sony said they'd consider a PSN name change for you? Or do you mean they're willing to just allow you to create a new account?
-
To all that say it was his falt your wrong its a video game and people are just to sensitive theses days even if its offensive on my xbox 360 and 1 i have close to $700 Worth of digital content and if i lost every thing b3cause some one thought my name was offensive ots even worse that it happened on psn because theres no way to change your name and they didnt have restrictions for words when you make it
-
I swear we gave up our rights to video games and big corporations by not stopping that terms of service from getting out of control
-
Lol my gt used to be offensive. Xbox just made me change it for free lol. Ps is just so dumb
-
1 ReplySwitch to xbox. Its a better consol anyways tell Sony to fuk off
-
3 RepliesAlternatively you can just create an original name that isn't thought up in the depths of 13 year old toilet humour. Each to their own I guess.
-
Just change it to your new bestie, and tea bag everyone in the crucible when you have the chance. When they complain and report you just say you didn't know how to shake hands. LOL
