The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I like how you will use "fuck" on your profile but not on these forums where it's perfectly fine.
So... since we don't have a whole lot of meat for this here OP, maybe we should move this discussion in a productive direction. What does everyone think about the TOS for 360 profiles? Obviously, Microsoft has the right to include whatever they damn well please, but I would argue they do some stupid bullshit with it. It's really not cool they go out of their way to make people who mention their sexuality change it or create another profile. Thoughts?

I remember something about that...and I remember being outraged.
Then I stopped caring as usual. It sucks but hey, what are you gonna do?

Yay, we haven't had a wonderfully worded "Hate on X console with minimal reasons" thread in a while.
As far as Microsofts policies are when it comes to what you put in your bio. It's their world, and their rules. When you sign up for Live you agree with their ToS, and griping about it after you break the rules is just silly.
Apperently I was suspended because "You put "Grandview Athletics-Win or Lose We Still Booze i gotta bit*h to suck my di*k til i nut spit it on my gut n slurp that s*it back up" in your bio which is inappropriate and against the Terms of Use. " The thread was locked before I had a chance to respond but this is NOT my bio, Is there anyway you can check my gamertag xX3jake4Xx and see for yourself. There's no way I could have changed it being as I can't even log into my account right now.
Don't you just get a temp ban (suspended) for this kind of TOS violation? I don't recall anyone being perma ban unless they were a constant repeat offender.
Haha, that's gold. I love how people will remove offensive material from their profile and then complain they were banned for no reason. Yeah, that'll work.
Sorry that you got banned, but it happens all the time for this exact reason. You probably owned some kiddy who raged and reported you.
hahaahha
wow
thank this thread for that I guess.
That forum is awesome
i cannot sign into the forums on my suspended account, but why did i get suspended anyways?
my gamertag is
X DyNaMiKz X
Because you put "white power shower" in your bio, which is racially charged, inappropriate, and against the Terms of Use.

Have a nice evening.
You do have a Windows Live ID, since one is required when you create an account. That doesn't mean you have to have a @hotmail.com or @live.com address (you don't, I just looked it up). Email was sent to the email address on your account.
However, you put "LickMyNuttzzzzz" in your profile which is inappropriate and against the Terms of Use.

are you talking about the thing that inspired this strip?
last night i tried to sign in to xbox live after not playing the entire day. i found out that i was suspended for a day and my gold membership was dropped. today after the suspension was over i was able to sign in but when i tried to restore my gold membership i got an error message saying "can't retrieve information from xbox live try again later. after repeated failed attempts i called customer service and they informed me that my profile was permanently banned. again i had not been online in anyway shape or form the entire day, yet i suffered a 1 day suspension which turned out to be a lifetime ban. can someone please explain to me what in the world happened

Actually this isn't true. You were suspended for displaying, sending, or sharing illicit or pornographic material on Xbox Live. (specifically, your conduct during a recent Uno game) This suspension is permanent and will stand as issued.

I got disconnected from Xbox Live with a message saying i need to change my xbox live gamertag in accordance with xbox live policy. My gamertag TerdMuncher is in no way violating that policy and i DONT want to have to change it. And i cant get back online without changing. I would like this fixed.
I see nothing offensive here!

I've bookmarked that thread for slow work days.
I can't believe how many people can't correctly type ridiculous.
There is no reason to go near the "e" since it's not even in the word.
Hahaha, I just came across that one about the "conduct during a recent Uno game" and was about to post about it here, but I see I've been beaten to it twice. Thanks to the OP, I probably never would have seen this forum. Good stuff.

Wait a sec: he wants to log in... to change his gamertag? Is that even possible? I thought that once you picked one, that was it? Like an email address? I'm still kinda new to XBL.

You can pay $10 (could be less) to change your handle.

The button letters were even colored the same way as the buttons. Pretty funny.

You have just destroyed my afternoon as I now want to read every one of these threads as they are all hilarious. Thanks...
the only thing I can come up with is "Fuck, I'm awesome"
are you talking about the thing that inspired this strip?
Because people are cretins.
geeze.... reading this i was double thinking to what my bio said... just to make sure something couldn't be construed as offensive.
it's truly great
Yeah I don't understand why people add that to their name.
From the little of what I've heard of them actually speaking in lobbies, these people sound 12.
so many of these people don't understand how life works.
"Actually this isn't true. You were suspended for displaying, sending, or sharing illicit or pornographic material on Xbox Live. (specifically, your conduct during a recent Uno game) This suspension is permanent and will stand as issued."
M$ keeping Uno strippers down, man!
