Woke up this morning, to find that I have been suspended from xbox live. I was a bit shocked, as I dont feel I do anything to ruin the experience for other gamers (Tampering or abuse etc.) I'm pretty much just an average cod player.

I rang xbox and after sitting on hold for a bit, they told me that my ban was from "Abusive Behaviour" and "Racism" ... I do not own an xbox mic. I never have, and never will. So how have I managed to be racist and abusive without a mic?

The ban is for 8 days too, what the hell. xbox won't do anything, because apparently they have 'evidence enough to ban me.' Sure you do, xbox.

You also could have gotten your account Phished. It's happened to a lot of people, and MS is pretty cold blooded and unsympathetic about it. I know someone who that happened to 3 weeks into a 12 month subscription. I'm not sure if its still happening, but if you didn't do anything illegitimate (modded console, editing gamesaves, etc) then that is likely the culprit. (EDIT:Just read your post again instead of skimming it, and it sounds like an error by MS. Call them up and see what the deal is. Ask them for the evidence which caused your suspension. After all, its your money out the window, while $2-3 is not much, its still something you should talk to them about. After all, once ur in their system with a suspension, the harassment for any intentional or unintentional negligence could result in a permaban)

Nope, wrong

Actually that never happens, it's impossible because each time someone reports you they need evidence and if they don't have any the person who is reporting gets the suspension

Also the term is suspension, not a ban, there's a difference

You sure that no one else plays on your GT and that no one could have been able to phish your account info?

I would call them back and ask what exactly it was you did to get suspended. They should be able to tell you so you can prevent it in the future.

Think man, THINK! There must be a reason. Some comment you sent someone in a message a while back? Maybe your friend or brother has played on your xbox without your knowledge? Your bio could have something somewhat racist in it?

99% of the time when someone says they have "no idea" why they were banned, they neglect to mention that they have an offensive gamertag, motto, or bio, or that they've given someone else access to their profile. Microsoft will not suspend you because a single person reported you.

For some reason, the latter seems a little less moderated. I see a lot of... male body parts. Ha. I think they let that customization go a little bit too far.

But yeah, OP. Try again to get a reason and verify all your info is unoffensive.

My boyfriend actually had an account that had to have a name change because it had the word "damn" in it. It's possible that you could have angered someone who considered "demon" offensive. There's weirdos out there like that.
