Seriously Microsoft?? - XBL Suspended - Dumbest Reason

So I just got this email tonight. It is probably the most stupid suspension ever... Seriously?

This email is to notify you that your Xbox LIVE account privileges have been temporarily suspended due to inappropriate content in the profile for your gamertag. The inappropriate content was discovered in the Motto, Bio, Location, Name and/or Personal Picture.

The following content for the gamertag associated with this Windows Live ID was brought to our attention and was determined to have violated the Code of Conduct and/or Terms of Use:

Bio: Ya I spawn kill get over it. Dont lose

Your profile was brought to the attention of the LIVE Enforcement Team through complaints filed by other Xbox LIVE users or in the course of our operation of the service. The LIVE Enforcement Team has reviewed the complaints and other evidence regarding this content and determined it violates the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use and/or Code of Conduct. Because this content is in violation, the LIVE Enforcement Team has deleted the content and issued a temporary suspension.

blah blah blah and so on...

I got 2 weeks for this.... 2 fricking weeks!

My first offense also!

Seriously, when have we become a race of babies?? I mean seriously. This is a little excessive

ur bio wasnt tat bad. inthe future dont have anything in ur bio tat people couldcomplain about

Thats the thing, people will complain about anything. I've said this on here before but my bro got suspended for having "Sexy Zombie Killing Beast". Someone reported him because they were pissed that we beat their arses in L4D and he got suspended for offensive language in his bio. It's getting ridiculous what microsoft suspends people for. Unless a real life Zombie reported him then who the hell can find that offensive?ChristopherRage

I agree that it's no reason to be banned over. Athlough I will say spawn killing is just cheap, theres no skill to it and it makes winning a hollow experience.

Why don't you guys just try using normal bios and not ones intended to be edgy/ piss people off. Im not saying what you guys did was that bad but im just saying that it can be considered offensive to the people at MS who go through these things. Xbox live is like a gated community they get to decide who stay and goes so just be chill with what you put in your profile and you wont have any problems . This isn't facebook, twitter or youtube most of the stuff that's acceptable there wont be on live. I can assure you if you had something like "Hi my names greg" which is something a normal bio would have then you wouldn't be banned or suspended no matter how many times you get reported and if you did you could certainly argue your way out of it.

Now if your not willing to do that then dont complain because you obviously want to be banned/suspended and dont want to use the service

Complain and get the decision changed, MS are lazy and do not actually check these reports any more (I assume they once did anyway), a 2 week ban is not only extreme (considering you have done nothing) but it is also a mark against your tag.

I'm shocked this can get you banned. If you look to spawn kill...developers have to do a better job at preventing spawn killing in there games. its not like your saying you cheat. i thought only racist and vulgur info gets banned

You were trolling.

You can't be saying its the dumbest reason, your bio was making you look like a troll WHICH upsets users.

Excuse me, but don't we all pay them enough money to put whatever the hell we want in our stupid little bio's? I mean seriously who cares other then a whiny 5 year old who cant stand losing!? If microsoft wants us to remain loyal they best quit this crap asap. Ive read about these kinds of instances far too many times in these forums as it is. Stop suspending paying customers for no good reason!!

The-Longshot

It's their ToS, and if anything comes close to violating it, the user will be prosecuted. That being said, just use the bio feature like how it's supposed to be used. TC's bio could've been his motto. When did biography mean "type how good you are at games"?

ur bio wasnt tat bad. inthe future dont have anything in ur bio tat people couldcomplain about

max-Emadness

This.

You're screwed on XBL. Most of the time they don't even look into these things and just go by complaints filed. If 20 people file a complaint on someone for cheating, chances are they'll get banned.

I can't tell you how many messages I've gotten from recent players asking me to file a complaint on someone else. I file the complaint, only on them. :)

Perhaps it was the overall tone of it..

It may have been seen as calling everyone a "loser"..

Thats why my bio is blank :P

Not that should have suspended you, if you do spawn camp then you should be disciplined for that. Sorry. You may have been reported for spawn camping, in addition to that bio.

I won't buy a game whose multiplayer has the chance of spawn camping because that is broken game to me.

It happens in some games today, but its not as bad as a few years ago thankfully.

The-Longshot

You know, I'd think the reason people Spawn Camp is because they can't stand losing.

I mean, if spawn campers didn't mind losing, then why not compete face to face, inside of hiding.

Please, don't say play better defense. Killing someone before they have a chance to do anything is unfair, and games where that is possible are broken.

I'm hoping game developers in the next few years help get rid of it altogether.

If you put something offensive in your profile they can suspend you, especially if people complain about you for cheating via spawn camping.

I mean do the people playing defense on first base trip the guy waiting to run to 2nd base just before the batter swings? No.

That definately shouldn't of gotten you suspended. I got suspended for a week because my motto said "Snipers get more head".

See, I dont go out of my way to spawn kill. I play a lot of Battlefield games and in conquest once we get all the flags, we are coming for you adn we will spawn kill you. The round ends faster and it's a good way to rack up a ton of points. I got sick and tired of people sending me hate messages, or cursing at me through voice messages through the messaging system. So I put that in my profile.

Maybe I should report all the people that do that from now on instead? It can go both ways too.

But thats besides the point.

Me and 3 other squadmates (we 4 play all the time) were on Battlefield 1943 and well, we were owning people left and right. I guess we just made enough sore losers mad enough that they reported me. I just dont get it, why do people have to be sore losers, and when did Microsoft lose their spine? It's seems now they will ban you for everything.

Of all the terrible racism, hate, and bigotry I hear in a typical game and see in peoples gamertags, I get suspended for coarse humor.

There are a number of things that scream out to me when I read your profile and none of them bode well for you I'm afraid.

The first problem is you clearly state that you "spawn kill" – As a father of eleven I find it quite disconcerting that you flagrantly parade this fact around. My next assessment suggests that your "spawn killing" might actually be contained to in-game practices, but even so, it displays poor gamesmanship on your end. The last and most heinous element of your profile is the egregious assault on grammatical decency. For shame.

I will now bathe endlessly in hopes to rid myself of this shame glaze I am covered in. I urge you all to do the same.

Nice, so if I am offended by peoples profiles containing what city they are in, I want them suspended!

Not once did I ever harass anyone. They came to MY PROFILE looking for trouble. Not once did I ever send them a message, or directly harassed them. Period

MS cant suspend you for having city in your bio and if it ever did happen you can easily talk your way out of it because that would clearly be a mistake. Second someone shouldn't be able to find trouble in your bio its a biography man biography , your just trying to be combative. It can be seen as a offensive and even harassment. Go google harassment and the first thing you'll get is a wiki page that has the def. Harassment is commonly understood as behaviour intended to upset or disturb. Your bio was intended to upset and disturb sorry to burst your bubble.

I understand your upset but you have to understand that you have to follow their rules. Just because you pay doesn't mean you have free reign over xbox live. Follow the rules and you'll have no problems. Ive had live for 5 almost 6 years now and have never been suspended or banned and don't you think for one second that i haven't pissed many people off or just had tons of sore losers file complaints on me. Fact still stands that you wouldn't have gotten suspended if your bio was a normal one.

Yeah, only if XBL could start banning people for what they say during the game. It would decrease the number of instances that I've been called the "N" word, the "P" word, and among many others. It would finally shut up all those trash talking kids who can't just enjoy the game for the game.

Ok, so which rule did I break??

B. Don't do the following.

This includes, without limitation, anything related to or suggestive of: profane words/phrases, topics or content of a sexual nature, hate speech (including but not limited to racial, ethnic, or religious slurs), illegal drugs/controlled substances, or illegal activities.

well i would say its this one

Don't create a gamertag, profile content, Avatar action, Avatar content, or in-game content that other users may be offended by. This includes, without limitation, anything related to or suggestive of: profane words/phrases, topics or content of a sexual nature, hate speech (including but not limited to racial, ethnic, or religious slurs), illegal drugs/controlled substances, or illegal activities.

and maybe even this

Don't harass, abuse, or spam other players, or encourage other players to do so.

What you had in you bio was cleary intended to antagonize other people. I really dont see what your not getting. If your really want to avoid problems in the future keep that stuff out of it.

Nice, so if I am offended by peoples profiles containing what city they are in, I want them suspended!

Not once did I ever harass anyone. They came to MY PROFILE looking for trouble. Not once did I ever send them a message, or directly harassed them. Period

That argument you made is really weak dude.

IF this is real, then I would take this to Microsoft, put this in Major Nelson's face until he is forced to look at it, im sure he could so something about it.

[QUOTE="The-Longshot"]

Excuse me, but don't we all pay them enough money to put whatever the hell we want in our stupid little bio's? I mean seriously who cares other then a whiny 5 year old who cant stand losing!? If microsoft wants us to remain loyal they best quit this crap asap. Ive read about these kinds of instances far too many times in these forums as it is. Stop suspending paying customers for no good reason!!

You know, I'd think the reason people Spawn Camp is because they can't stand losing.

I mean, if spawn campers didn't mind losing, then why not compete face to face, inside of hiding.

Please, don't say play better defense. Killing someone before they have a chance to do anything is unfair, and games where that is possible are broken.

I'm hoping game developers in the next few years help get rid of it altogether.

If you put something offensive in your profile they can suspend you, especially if people complain about you for cheating via spawn camping.

I mean do the people playing defense on first base trip the guy waiting to run to 2nd base just before the batter swings? No.

Ok, allow me to correct myself. I AM NOT in any way shape or form advocating spawn killing, its an abohrent action and I do not endorse it in any way shape or form. It is a jerk move, and I cant stand people who do it.

My issue is with paying someone for a service, and then not being able to use it the way you want. I understand its their ToS and blah blah blah whatever, but can it do gooders, its stupid for them to suspend someone for such a silly reason and you know it.

Could we just leave our bio's and profiles blanks, yea sure, but then what the hecks the point of having the space there in the first place.

That's why I leave my motto and bio blank so no stupid reason to be reported and suspended.

Yeah I am just waiting it out. Maybe now I will be able to get some serious Oblivion time again. :)

That's unfortunate, but ah well, we can't rewind time. Best thing we can do is just avoid anything (and I mean anything) that could be seen as offensive, etc.Ashley_wwe
