That is by far the most * * I have ever heard. If someone has it, they copied my steam name. which has been in effect for a while now. 

 

Look up that name on google and the only thing tha twill come up are MY community projects, I tried several different version of it and yet still it says the same thing

Your datebase is horrible and dysfunctional, thank you EA for providing horrible games and horrible service, thank you for nothing.

@Sky-sensei1990 Hi,

 

The issue is with the dash in the name. It won't return the name in the search, but in our database it will occupy the name.

Try searching the same name without the dash to see whether you can find a user occupying that name then.

 

Unfortunately going by a different handle is the only solution at this point.

 

Cheers,

Nils

And again, thanks for nothing. EA the epitome of awful ruining games since it's conception.

That name has already been taken by someone else. Try changing it to something else that is similar.

A player can choose to not be found by players he doesn't know. EA usernames are also shared amongst games so it is possible that the player isn't on Battlelog.

I checked - the ID is taken by another player. They most likely have their privacy settings set in such a way that they don't want to be found by unknown players. 

 

This is currently working as intended and won't be changed. I do understand that you would like that ID but since it is taken you will need to try another one.
