Yes its a load of bollox that you violated their TOS of having no vulgar language in your bio.

Just go get your mummy to buy you another account, and tell her from me you shouldnt be allowed to stay up past 10 just so you can watch Pulp Fiction for the first time

Thats where you went wrong , if you make someone sour in a game dont give them any oppertunity to file a complaint.

Goat_Boy_jones

Ah well, wish I could find out who it was...

Not The Real Scarecrow

yup, sounds like you were playing too good and annoyed some ahole, that went through your info trying to find just one small thing they could complain you about. Unlucky man.
Thing I can never figure out is how some one like yourself gets a suspension when all you have to do is look at the top of the cod table and the first couple of hundred are obviously modders and they never even get a ban.

Very true...

OP, did you have the full expletive or the self-censored version with asterisks? I guess someone took offence either way.

dazftw

They should really minimise the TOS to a few very important bullet points cause no one ever reads the actual thing like.

To the OP what do you expect you broke the rules and now your paying the price. Its the same as speeding or doing drugs! Take the risk and you might just get caught.

Happened to me when I 1st got the xbox I was suspend for 2 days and since then ive had nothing in my bio :rolleyes:

It doesnt matter which you have , if your complained , the powers that be will know what fits into the ****** and suspend you anyway.

Actually it does. If that was the case, papers like the Sun wouldn't be allowed to post profanity without placing a parental warning. Did you use asterisks?

No actually it doesnt , this is microsoft not the sun , go read some of the "why am i suspended" threads in the accounts and suspensions page of xbox forums .
Its a good read it will give you some laughs.

Take this for exampl http://forums.xbox.com/32517071/ShowPost.aspx

Even though its just initials , microsoft perceived it as what they thought it was complained for.

Yes actually it does. Unfortunately, the legal litigation would take longer and cost more than the actual suspension, so it's not worth pursuing. And aye, I've been there a few times, it's hilarious.

Actually, that forum makes for funny reading sometimes. There are always the legendary ones where a parent logs in and complains that 'Little Jimmy was banned and this is outrageous that such a thing could happen, I'm paying for this service and you have no right to do this', only for the official response to come back "Little Jimmy was showing his 'little jimmy' while playing UNO" or something similar. :pac:

lulz, what I find hilarious is the mod's excuse. The mod took it to mean BAMF, so the mod has a problem with it. The player isn't insinuating anything. I mean, it could be something as retarded as Beating At My Fingers, and microsoft took it upon themselves to block it. Now that could be sued in court.

Then with the example i have given and also if you have been there a few times you will see that if you have f**k it will still get you a suspension.

Slugs

Sorry, we've a misunderstanding.

I'm not saying they won't get suspended, I'm just saying that them getting suspended is wrong. But at the end of the day, as I've alread said, the litigation would take more money and time to deal with than the actual suspension. That and most people don't have the legal know-how to go about it.

Theres a lot of stupid stuff that can get people suspended , its quite ridiculous really, i read that one guy had the name cornholio for 4 years but got suspended recently as someone complained his name and had to change it , for the life of me i cant see whats wrong with that name.

Your gamertags not Blaaaack is it?
If so your ma's been posting on the xbox forums about your ban, which seems to be for something other then vulgar language.



Best stay away from Uno for a while

Goat_Boy_jones

Ha ha, no my name tag is "Irish Goatboy"

The moral of the story is don't post Quentin Tarantino dialogue in your bio:rolleyes:

Wow this is the ****ing lamest thing I have ever read, just seeing this would stop me ever buying an Xbox.

You obviously haven't read The DaVinci Code.

Cornholing is the american slang for anal sex I believe. Hence the "I have a peepee in my bunghole" line from that idiot cartoon (I have no time for B&B personally).

Quoting a dialogue from Pulp Fiction does seem like a harsh ban but its not permanent and I suspect the OP didnt star out the language, Boards auto stars certain words as a happy medium on this topic.
