Clan Tag Issues/Invalid Characters - Beachhead??
-
Like (0)
I have been playing COD since the first MW. I have always used the clan tag ****. The only game that didn't work on was Black Ops, which I was okay with as I didn't play that game much anyways. However, when I made my clan in elite, Asterisk, I was hoping I would be able to use the gold clan tag as ****. I can use it in game, but when I enter it in Elite it says it's an invalid character. Is this something that can be updated? Why can't we use the same characters that we can in game? Can an exception be made? I just figure since we are the offical Asterisk clan we should be able to use it in our Gold Clan tag.
Hello? Is there anyone (preferably someone that knows the real answer) that is going to look at this at least tell me why I can't use ****?
Seriously?!? Still no reply from anyone other then Tallowby saying he has an issue as well? Since Beachhead isn't replying to my post and neither is anyone else, does somoene maybe know how I can get in touch with someone from Beachhead or Activision (other then their terrible online support)?
Well I messaged Beachhead on their twitter account, maybe now someone will check this out.
500+ views, and still no solid reason or comment from someone that knows the true reason behind this.
We are having similar issues. Our clan tag/name was blocked initially. Called Activision and they checked it out and approved it.
Been using it for months now. Once clan level unlocks were achieved found out we can't make changes due to a Clan Name issue. Activision states all blocks on there side are removed and that....get this!.....
Xbox live has a ban on our Clan Name... not the Clan Tag. Our Clan Tag has been the same since COD4 and there is still no issues enabling or disabling the tag. So what is this Clan Name ban?
Is Xbox live adding new clan features for future release? What can we speculate it would contain?
In the mean time Activision has stated they are working with XBL to fix our problem. Could this same issue be related to yours? It is possible.

I don't it would be the same issue since yours is an insue with a blocked name, where mine is just an invalid charecter. Which is programmed into the site to say invalid charecter, therfore the site either needs to be reprogrammed to allow the same charecters the game allows, or they need to just set my clan's tag to those characters as a one time exception. Yours however is a banned word etc. It's not a programming error.
However, how did you contact Activision to get that approved? Maybe I could try that direction since this isn't getting any results. It's not fair to my clan and the paying members that we can't have our Clan Tag in gold.

Thanks Tallowby! However, that didn't help. I called them and they said to contact Beachhead as they didn't know why it's blocked as they didn't block it in the game. Here is to hoping someone reply's to this thread.
its not programmed into the elite script, its in the db
its easy for beachhead to remove if you ask them :>
It really is weird some of the things they filter.
"SBH" is blocked, which is the name of a playable unit from C&C Renegade. Who knows, maybe it's internet jargon for something dirty. >.>
Is SBH blocked in game? My only complaint is that I can use it in the game, why can't I use it on Elite? It just doesn't make any logical sense as to why they would block something online that you can already do in the game. So if there are other things out there let's make a list and get them fixed.
We were promised a Gold Clan Tag for our clan at level 10, however we can't use that clan tag. That is a paid service not being delivered, and I'm requesting that Beachhead Studios explains why or gives me that clan tag.
Same here, what a frustration when i found out i cant put the asterisk.... Beachead please fix this.
