Suspended from XBL?

[PauL o_O]

Well, this evening was similar to most others. Another tuesday night with nothing going on, but me and my xbox 360. I go to get the new dashboard and play some Nazi Zombies or something, but something's wrong. I cannot sign into my XBL account. I check the Microsoft website to see what's wrong, and oh look at this, I'm suspended from XBL... I called the good people and asked why. Apparently there is something inappropriate about my gamertag. My gamertag is gS kRayToR. kRayToR is like, you know, a crater. And gS stands for my gamebattles team Going Strong. Thanks Microsoft. Gee.

Inform them of what it means. Or simply change it.

if it was inappropriate,they usually just have you change it.my bro knew a guy whose tag was endless STDS,he just had to change it,microsoft probably just screwed up and won't admit it

 

[Curtmiester]

Just change it or ask them too.

People goof up. It happens. Granted, when people with alot of power goof up, I can see where you, and countless others, would be angry. My recommendation: Email them, and ask what's up.

I reported my step-brothers cousin because he was being annoying (he's 14 or something) and the next day he actually got banned for a week! XD

What did you report him for, may I ask?
And by that I mean: If you gave evidence to your claim, what was it?
And if so: High Five.
And if not: High Five.
Either way, it's an epic win.

Had that happen to me I don't even own a mic and I got banned for a week from xlb for harrassment or something. But a called mircrosoft and they sorted it out and the next day I had live again

Sooo, you can get banned for some time for having a "Inappropriate" Gamertag, but not for yelling at everyone who doens't play the game 24/7 "You sux so much u f*cking n00b hahahaha I iz teh l33t"? Seems as the system is broken to me.

Let me tell you, I found out something was off at Microsoft a while ago..

Spoiler

I just reported his "Bio" as having offensive material and that was that.

That's nothing.


I got banned for inappropriate profile content. My profile content at the time was my name (Josh), and location (Wales).

Banned for 2 days.

Here's the kicker-I was banned for another 3 days after being back on Xbox LIVE for 24 hours. Again, for having inappropriate profile. What was my profile, you ask?

Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct. You know, the think that it changes to when you're banned? Single-handedly proved they don't check, and there isn't even an automated check made.

I hadn't even played an online game in the 24 hours, so I couldn't have even offended someone.

I called them. I should be un-suspended by 12 tonight?

 

[grimsprice]

what the hell did they think it said/meant? i can't even see anything if i try. granted uppper and lowercasing every other letter is really fucking annoying... but thats nothing to ban it over....

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Might I ask what did they confuse it with?

I just wouldn't have suspended a guy with a gamer tag like that out of the blue.

[small]Wouldn't even had made sense to me...[/small]

If you really want an answer, you should post your question here: http://forums.xbox.com/1386/ShowForum.aspx

Also, if anyone wants a cheap laugh, you should read some of the post on that forum, it's hilarious how dumb some people are, like this Nazi lover who couldn't understand why his profile might be considered offensive: http://forums.xbox.com/28136437/ShowPost.aspx

or this idiot who didn't understand that hacking his X-box to increase his Gamerscore was cheating, and that increasing his Gamerscore to 230,000 4 days after getting it reset to zero might appear a bit fishy, and get him banned. http://forums.xbox.com/28152815/ShowPost.aspx

Honestly that site is comedy gold... I usually check it every week to laugh at the new batch of hapless idiots asking why they got banned.

"Duur, M$ banned my Gamertag, N1ggerH8R, so I changed to J00Killer and dey told me I was suspended. Why dey do dat? Wat about my freedom of speech? Duur..."
