Microsoft is lame for suspending me

Don't know if this belongs in "console gaming" since it doesn't have to do with anything beyond my motto.


My xboxlive motto was "bros before hohohoes" since my friend's girlfriend broke up with him, so I made it that to cheer him up. I was banned today after a few months of having it and I was wondering how lame companies have become cause of politically correct politicians and feminists

That was all they banned you for? I usually get warnings to change it. They usually don't outright ban you unless you ignore their warnings or did something else.

Well - I called them today to get help on an xboxlive marketplace issue (paid for something that doesn't work) and i got banned on the same day. Maybe they did an error?

Other than that... there's nothing I've done wrong. I'm a 5-star member.

This is the first ban/suspension I've ever had

if you're a minority, play the race card! Get it on national TV! Make sure to say "ATOT RULEZ!"

no but seriously... that's messed up. I'd call and complain. Don't be an asshole to the people on the phone, but be assertive. Hopefully you're good at arguing. Best of luck :/

The whole thing with you screaming obscenities over your mic may have had something to do with it.

I was banned from the MSN zone once for playing Age of Empires II with the name "petard_rusher" which btw the "petard" is a unit in the game and a "petard rush" would simply be a strategy to attack quickly with said unit ala "zerg_rusher", but apparently since if you change the first 2 letters around it becomes "retard_pusher" they banned me :(.

Just call Live support back and find out exactly why you were banned, contest the banning and fix whatever it was that caused the banning.

well you are paying for a service and have to agree to TOS and if you break it they can do as they please.

and the OP should be calling MS instead of crying on ATOT about this issue.

This is actually a pretty ugly trend. I love PC gaming and the "unique" gamer tags people come up with. I also like the complete freedom everyone has on the mic. If you don't like what they have to say, you can leave or just ignore them. Pretty simple concept. Pretty much the only time you get banned is for cheating or the suspicion of you cheating.
