To Beachhead and your team - you have gone too far this time!

I was part of a clan called BtcH. we were level 17 with 99 players and a waiting list which we monitered regularly. It was origionally formed when Blackops first came out and grew and grew ever since and I met some really cool people from Uk and America. You promoted ELITE as a way for clans to compete against eachother and to provide a community. You messed up the clan wars and took forever to sort out the XP and prizes, you could even get the clan operations runnning on time! we could only start levlling up our clan the last month or so! for a service we payed for in November.
To the point. My Clan's clan tag BtcH was reported for being innapropriate by a member who no longer plays with us for his language in the build up to games. You took just 48 hours to ban our clan and remove it from Elite all together! you said it was because of profanity? There is clans with ni""er and fu"k in the tags! yet you ban BtcH.
Your team are am embarassment to the call of duty franchise, you ruined a perfectly good idea. You banned and destroyed our sence of commmunity over a clildish rant.
What I propose is that you reinstate our clan , and them take elite offline until you can run it properly. If not refund all 99 of the BtcH players thier 500 founder xp to start up a new clan.
Please feel free to PM me or reply to this thread. Court action will follow against your company in a small claims court if we do not recieve a legitimate reply or compensation.
They won't reply, and this thread will be locked. Trust me, all of them get locked. It's to withold the spread of IDEA.
I also agree with every piece of this thread. I hope you get some kind of support, but I see no evidence of anything close to it in the past. May the Force be with you.
thank you MR_OnyYX_
I totaly agree you should given a chance to change there clan name seeing as they been on elite ages it your own fault for not noticeing the name.
Btw they are already talking about elite 2.0 i dont think half my clan are going to be buying that **** when elite 1.0 dosnt work.
lol nobobdy i know will buy elite again. its such a joke and a major ripoff
So, not even a reply?
What about these clan names? Im sure there more offensive than BtcH (still got no idea how this is classed as profanity )

This just shows how pathetic this studio really is! idiots.
At first I could kinda see your argument, but still believe you should have used better discretion when choosing a clan name and clan tag, as that is clearly boarding a profane word. But now that you are trying to drag alot more people down to the mud. It shows your true personality. Not trying to be a hard ass or anything, but in Detroit. you just dont snitch, and when you do, your well-being doesnt last long. not saying this is Detroit, or that something should happen to you. But your clan name and tag, definitely describes you!
Im making a point. There are racially offensive clans out there and we get banned for using BtcH.
I've seen names/tags a lot worse than that. A warning would have sufficed, I think.
exactly. I only found out we were taken down due to another player mentioning it to me!
So hold on "you" made a clan name that was a play on an offensive word "you" did this not beachhead, and you are mad at them, because some one found it offensive "big surprise there". Honestly you have no right to be mad you were in the wrong, you were punished. I know you will flame me what ever names you want to call me, it will just prove that you are too imature to understand that there are consequences to what you do in life.
True, but have you seen some of the other tags? This is mild compared to some I've seen since clan tags were allowed in games. Disbanding the clan is harsh punshment for BtcH when I've seen people with KKK, F*CK, etc., and they keep showing up. To me these are just as bad, if not worse.
Also, I'll bet you they did nothing to "fix" it, so, after reading this thread, someone will probably put it as their clan tag just to be cute. So, we have a whole clan that's been disbanded and lost their clan xp and the clan tag they got dinged for is still able to be used.
it is not an offensive word. educate yourself before you comment.
"I know you will flame me what ever names you want to call me, it will just prove that you are too imature to understand that there are consequences to what you do in life."
you dont know me at all, dont be assumptive.
How do they know it doesn't stand for something like "Being Totally Caring & Helpful" or something. I mean jeesh. Are they banning cause stuff ryhmes with "naughty" words. I guess I better not make that SOCK clan huh?
Umm, if you guys need a place to Clan up, join mine. BMFR's_N_757, I'm a founder but will take all that are interested.

You seriously never considered that it might not be the best choice for a clan name?
No, I never made the clan and its not an offensive word. As skippinglobster mentioned, it can mean anything, and they have no grounds to be assumptive in what it says and ban someone on an assumptive thought.
You cannot get anyone banned for boosting etc unless you have irrefutable evidence, same applies here.

While it's possible you are a group of female dog in heat lovers... we both know you knew exactly what it was short for. You all thought it was cute... got caught... and that's that.
No one is buying a claim of ignorance that "BtcH" might be offensive.
My nine year old knows better.
Thanks for the OP..I figured since it wont let you put in some words and it takes a little bite to load that it checks for baned or unusable words.My clan had a clan tag that didnt take much imagination to figure out...AzzHoles ( AzzO) it let us use it for clan name and tag.so again thanks... its changed now..that sucks you didnt even get a chance to change it,before they banned it... good to know
i got 99 problems but BtcH ain't one
nice, but not needed.
Only heard the song that is based from in a BF3 commercial but that was pretty funny
That's the funniest response I've read on these forums! And it sums the issue up nicely, too.
its crazy inappropriate im 23 i dont care but if my son or daughter were to play..blahh blahh ratings m wtv dont care you shouldnt be proud to be using a tag like ***** to begin with..honestly i think all off you should stop crying on the forums like little "*******" and play the game and if you dont like it theres always bf3 or me3 stop harrasing ppl with your non sence posts.

Im going to make a tally of all the times people bring up 'sueing' beachhead, Activision and/or IW.
I'm sure I would make a fortune if I got a dollar for every time someone said that.
Really and trully. Beachhead made a good choice but the strictest choice in banning your clan. I do feel that your clan should not have been banned permanently. You should have been banned for a few days and had all your clan xp reset to level 0.
Then again you have to think from a woman point of view, It is not that funny
But at the end of the day this was your fault. I think you tried to be funny and it backfired big time. It was a poor decision by you and the fact that 99 people actually joined your clan even with your clan name is just pure stupidity.
I doubt the BtcH clan was ever real.
Troll
Prove it.
BtcH could be a dominant lesbian clan. I suppose it's still an inappropriate clan name, but the gay bias lawsuit would be a winner.
How about sperm donar clan ,is that ok?
I don't see anything wrong with your clan tag. Bi_tch is not a profane word, much less BtcH, which could have been a clan of dikes calling themselves Butch for all we know. But even if it was Bi_tch, what's wrong with that? A female dog is somehow condemned while a male canine, Dog, isn't. That's sexist! If Bi_tch isn't allowed in the COD community, then neither should D_og.
haha this thread is just useless and moronic!
your "99 clan members" will just have to start a different clan (i suggest clan BIRD or maybe clan MOM) and wait to level up like the rest of us while beachhead continues to sit on the money we've already paid for a service that hasn't worked appropriately from day one. SORRY! (fyi, xbox live banned my account for a day for having the word p_imp in my profile. if that's not even more ridiculous i don't know what is.)
if you're mad at anyone, you should be mad at your peers in the community for being little whiners and crybabies.
i remember the good old days of playing unreal tournament on my PC where i could be appropriately uncensored and little kiddies didn't cry about names or WORDS. you can always just mute them, block them, or JUST DON'T PAY ATTENTION.
of course, back then, little kiddies didn't play video games that condone military tactics and murder. hmmmm. wonder if i still have the 5-disc cd-rom installation set for UT??? my current PC would wail on that old 1ghz machine.
my point is, it's a video game. i know you payed 30 bucks or whatever for the service. oh well.. the dooped you. what's thirty bucks in the grand scheme of your life? the old saying goes... "fool me once, chame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." i hear whispers about ELITE v2.0. NOT BUYING IT.
plain and simple. best of luck with your "lawsuit" ![]()
they need to give out warnings or just remove the clan tag and name and have you rename it instead of just herp a derp delete. it just shows how lazy they are that with any minor problem they will delete a clan
Actually, I believe that a lawsuit will gain you naught. It comes down to the ELITE Code of Conduct (which we have all agreed to) having that issue covered. I haven't actually read said legalese jargon, but I'm betting that "offensive" clan tags and names are not allowed. (Offensive is, of course, something subjective that differs from person to person-- but you apparently ran afoul of enough people who did find it offensive that you got banned.) I think your tag was somewhat funny. But I also would bet good money that ELITE has you caught under a cleft stick. The only recourse you have in my eyes? Start up a new clan from scratch and this time choose a tag that people cannot accuse of being offensive. Learn your lesson. Or, quit, be mad and don't buy ELITE 2.0... but don't threaten things that are plain silly.
Man I came across this clan called white power I have nothing against any race as my clan has many different race's Black, White, Mexican, Canadian, ect. but during the lobby and game he bashed pretty much every one in the lobby on my team even the white guy in my party took offense to it. That's sad that clans can get reported and banned so easy when thereare hate clans out there bashing people. We were just having a conversation and they popped in going on about blacks and so on but I do appreciate the mute button
LOL....Is Canadian a Race? just bustin your B**ls
I dont think that your clan should have been disbanded since this game is suppose to be more people 18 and older along with elite so adults getting upset that some people curse on the game? Me personally I curse at people all game long if they deserve it. But I do agree there are worse names out there. If they are going to ban people for it then they shouldnt allow people to put them as their clan tag and such. everything about this game and elite are complete bullshit and I will be switching back to black ops
it is also bullshit that they can ban somebody super fast but everything else to make elite and the game better takes months to do
