Sony can delete your PSN profile (along with all of your purchases) if somebody reports your username for being offensive

How do you feel about this?

like that doesn't mean you have to report someone


and also makes me feel like anonymous strangers would need feasible reason

Microsoft can do the exact same one my friends lost a good grand worth of games when Microsoft Windows deleted his account

Actually, they'll just have you change your psn id. Surprised mine hasn't been reported yet because it has the word "sperg" in it.

>buying digital games
>buying digital anything

Nothing because my username isn't offensive nor would I ever name myself n1kker slayer and use it as my main account.

Don't be offensive shitlord

this

>He buys digital
lol

Only a problem if you have a username that can be misconstrued as offensive.

It's in the User Agreement and it's fairly fucking obvious you aren't supposed to do it. I don't really have any sympathy for edgy faggots who use "offensive" or derogatory usernames and whine when they get banned.

>Probably uses Steam

>picking an offensive name
>picking an edgy or embarrassing xXSn1peXx style name
>needing numbers in your name
Pathetic

Yup, this.

Wow that sounds fucking stupid.

We should add each other though. What's your PSN id OP?

>4 weeks ago
>forgot the password to my account
>they billed me for PS+ and I want to cancel it
>the recovery page doesnt work so I have to call them
>they ask for my real name, birthday and email
>suddenly he asks for my PSN ID
>"Is that really required to cancel it?"
>insists that I have to
>have to spell out "LilBlowjobQueen11"
>takes fucking forever to do because he keeps asking if its right
>hope he might not notice because I had to switch out some letters to bypass the offensive name filter
>"Alright, I'm going to repeat the name entirely, is this right?"
>breaks down my nickname word by word correctly and even specifies the use of the words in a sentence
>feel like I want to die
>he refunds my shit in less than a minute for a thing that took like 40 minutes
>hang up

I don't think they will delete your account for an offensive name, but they might change it to something else on their own discretion. They didn't have a problem with mine.

OP, you didn't elaborate:
you will be banned if your username includes some variation of an inapproriate word
languages other than english count too

This is hilarious if this convo took place between 2 guys. Dude on the other end was obviously dragging it out to bust your balls.

What edgy username did you use user?

I have "NEET" in my name, does that count?

>buying regular copies

its like you prefer shitty loading times and WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

if it aint collectors edition then you better go digital

Lot of variables in there user, gotta get the correct spelling or else it will take longer.

They probably deserve it.

why not just do this through support chat?

I don't play online so I don't care.

Can someone help me choose a good PSN name?

It's so hard.

First noun you see but make it so it starts with the letter Z then add some cool shit like DARKNESS or FLAME to the end. So instead of Carpet it becomes Zarpet FLAME.

>IputmydickinDEADbabies2003™

Anything you can pick is fine as long as it doesn't include

quickscope
pro
mlg
some variation of elite/l33t
Goku
Sephiroth
Blunt
420

Don't be offensive and nothing will happen.

support live chat for sony almost never works and afaik if you emailed them you would need to supply your id and all kinds of other information which takes a long time to do for something that needs an immediate solution

I have a deep voice so it's even worse. I need to stop using ridiculous nicknames.

What if it's "ironic"? I put Otaku and 420 in my name.

You can't create offensive psn names, they have a metric ton of banned words and syllable combinations.
Still if this is actually true, this is some grade-a bullshit right here.

>playing online on PSN
you deserve it

I don't have an offensive username or any digitally purchased games so I don't give a shit.

Even so I have zero attachment to my PSN account and if I had to make a new one it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

>You must adhere to the following rules of conduct, and also follow a reasonable, common-sense code of conduct. Users are required to take into consideration community standards and refrain from abusive or deceptive conduct, cheating, hacking, or other misuse of PSN. Rights of other users should be respected

Gee, I wonder why the ban your ass when you have an offensive username.

And it's not like I agree with this, but it's the fucking EULA. if you have a user account, you signed that shit up, therefore, you should know better than trying to get a quick giggle

>playing offline

>have Sony ban my ip range once per 30-50 days regularly because I live in Thailand
>write to their support, give full on account and details on blocking
>specifically state that I have my ports open in the router, and have tried every solution I could find on the internet, also listing those solutions
>"uhh did you try to turn it off and on again?"
>"uhh you need to open some ports in your router"
>"uhh we're solving your problem, please wait"
>"uhh you need to contact your isp and ask for ip change"

Fucking bunch of incompetent fucking assholes. After it happened for 5th time recently I just asked for static ip to not bother anymore.

Just don't be a fag.

If I'm playing online on console, I'm playing on the xbone

Pick a disease named after a scientist.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponymously_named_diseases#Alphabetical_list

so you're playing an FPS since the XBox has literally nothing else

Anyone would still think you're retarded and even if I knew I'd still think that because "ironic" is overdone now and you will regret it mid 2017

>Not using a combination of your first and second name and maybe your year of birth every time

>Zarpet FLAME
That sounds surprisingly ok

>support live chat for sony almost never works

The two times I've used it ti worked fantastically. The wait was also alot shorter than on the phone.

Multiplats are games too and the online is better on the xbone than the ps4.

I actually might just do this.

How is it better? Debating which one to get but leaning towards ps4.

narutouzumaki2006 reporting in

Literally no reason to get Xbone unless you have friends on that system. Every "Xbox One" exclusive is going to be on PC going forward with Microsoft's new branding strategy. Meanwhile PS4 gets tons of exclusives that will never get ported.

In 10 years, you'll be able to play the entire Xbone library on PC. Meanwhile you'll still need a PS4 to play any gems from this era.

>buying pixels

>Cheaper
>Better servers
>Better benefits
>Better download speed
XBL is all around better than PSN, but none of that matter if you have no one to play with

for quite a few years the name i used for accounts was narutouzumaki[home phone number]

i have no idea why i thought using my entire home phone number was a good idea

that phone doesn't even exist anymore, though

>better servers
>better benefits
>Papa John's

I've got a similar refund story
>bought a ps4
>account got hacked a week or so later
>someone changed the password to my PSN account and charged $80 to the wallet.
>got access back to my account
>asked how I can get a refund
>tell me to contact PayPal
>contacted PayPal and got a full refund
>a day later my PSN account got suspended because of an 'unauthorized' transaction from the refund
>spent a week waiting for them to unfuck my account

What a load of fuck that was.

>lower FPS
>lower res
>XBOX OVER PS4

Jesus christ you are daft

What is like it living in Thailand?

>that time when you were 13 when you got your 360 and being a dumb kid instead of using your mom's email account you just made up a random one during the account setup and then 3 years later you needed to change it for some reason and had to spend an hour and a half on the phone with some indian working at Microsoft explaining why you couldn't receive any of the confirmation emails they were sending to that email address

>account got hacked
I'm an xbot but how does this work? If you don't give up your username and password or maybe use a very simple one how can they do this? I have an ms account since 2005 and nobody "hacked" me.

Are you retarded?
The whole point point of the conversation was about online gaming on consoles. If FPS and resolution means so much to you, get a PC.

Sony has leaked their database a couple of times, so if you don't change your PSN password every now and then your old one might be on a list somewhere. I know Sony keeps mailing me to change my password, but I don't give a fuck.

it doesn't matter if you're not a retard and have 2-step auth turned on

>how can they do this?

By being a literal retard. There's a reason the practise of social engineering is so widespread, because there's so many oblivious retards it works on, and so many who just have zero security whatsoever.

>password123

>implying I'd give Sony my phone number to leak to the Internet

>be like 10 or something
>have pokemon silver on my brick gameboy
>they're giving away celebi at local shopping centre
>guy there is all enthusiastic and asking me about my brick gameboy and says it's cool
>links up my gameboy to machine thing to transfer celebi
>forgot I named my character FUCKHEAD
>guy just looks at me disappointed

>implying steam cant do the same thing and majority or pc cunts are digital only

I don't think it's easy to get banned like that on Steam. Steam has several tiers of bans before it ever reaches that point.

we ubisoft now?

Well don't call yourself something like niggerdicks420 and you'll be fine.

>buy physical games
>break
>buy digital games
>drive breaks
>games are tied to one account so you can just get another drive

My psn Id is torkoal666. Am I fucked?

I assumed that to be the case. Luckily no one knows what PTHC stands for

AM I IN TROUBLE FOR GOOGLING THAT?

Enjoy being on the list :^)

FecesFiend2003

eventually you get put on so many lists it pushes through and you end up on the bottom of them all

>How do you feel about this?

no fucks given. I never act like a ass anyway. On the other hand... some salty faggots that message me offensive shit just because I beat them, I report those assholes.

Nothing. Don't call your self killallniggers and you are good.

>have PS3
>dont connect to internet because fuck that shit

Crexsred

It typically means someone brute-forced their way into your email.

Pretty much how I lost control of my steam account, since my email service saw no problem with some fag in china doing that. Then Steam allows you to receive all usernames tied to that email.
Then it allows you to do a password reset once you know that username and have that email.
And so on and so on.

Faggot immediately did nothing with it because I don't do any of that virtual item bullshit (what the fuck is with people and their obsession with knives that don't even exist?)

Can g-mail get brute forced? They seem to careful about security stuff, at least compared to other emails.

>teleports behind you
nothing personal, kid

I like it but what does it mean?

Every single online service can terminate your account anytime without a single reason, this isn't limited to Sony
Stop shitposting

Gmail is pretty secure. Even if you don't set trusted machines they immediately notice if someone tries to acces to it from another country and send you a notice. Since I live in a relatively small country they don't have much chance. Gmail even has some protection against automated attacks since old clients hackers like to use for these attacks are disabled by default (and you need to enable them deliberately).

xXx_D4RKSEPHIROTH_xXx

It means nothing, I'm just good at making weird original names. Here's another, Paqajwer.

No they don't, you just get a forced name change of your choice on your next sign-in. People used to ask randoms to report their ganertags as offensive to get the free change.

this
will probably get ignored though

>everyone does it so it's okay
Idort master race. You're truly just dumb.

are you thai or some farange living in thailand ?

SloppyFelchSupreme

>Idort master race.
How is that even relevant? This is not a matter of platform, its something included in every ToS of every single online service

Farang. Circumstances made me move about 4 years ago, plus I like it here, so it's working out fine for me. So far at least

I have the same amount of sympathy for angsty 12 year olds losing a PSN account because they need to put 420faggitnigger in there username as I do for cheaters... None at all. You lay in the bed you make.

PSN made me change my password and refused to let me use it because it had a reoccurring letter, for one reason or another ever password I use was not allowed because of rules. End up with DumbCunts
