Do gamertags still get FNC'd?

[Gambino]

What I'm asking is, when you have an inappropriate gamertag, do you still get forced to change it before you can go back online, or does Microsoft just change it for you? I'm asking because one of my tags didn't get FNC'd, Microsoft just gave me a default generated name and I had to pay $10 to change it. Was this in an update?

I think they change it to FNC(then a load of random numbers) thats what happened to my friends anyway

Do you know if they got a free name change? Or did they have to pay?

They had to pay i think, not %100 sure.

If it gets Fnc then you don't have to pay you get a free name change.

If it gets Fnc then you don't have to pay you get a free name change.

I know, but can they still get FNC'd? If so, why do some get FNC'd and others get changed automatically and you have to pay to change them?

They did this a while ago. You get a random generated tag and I believe you must pay to change it.

Thank you, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure.

I remember someone posted that method on the other site and it involved getting your main FNC'd and then you can turbo your tag with your main when you swap so it lowers the risk of you getting turboed. I tried that and they changed my name to something gay like Harryfurrball1201 or something like that and I still had to pay for the name change.

fnc's no longer exist. they now just give you a generated tag which you have to pay to change.
