I logged in last week to discover that my name was changed by Bungie to a default "Guardian####"; no fanfare, no warning, nothing. I've had this name for years, it has absolutely no negative connotation that I can even find, so I'd love to find out why my name has been struck- and furthermore why I can't change it to anything else? Is there something sinister I'm not aware of, or is it (more likely) that Bungie's name-bot filter was overzealous?
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"Guardian####", 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.
You can try a different name if you have a name change available. If the system is not allowing more changes, there is no way to override it.

The name removal IS the warning.
What was the old name?
The reason a lot of players right now can't change their names is because of a bug that is deleting name tokens.
So until they fix it no one can change their names.
