lol just got suspened.. but

dazftw

It wasn't for cheating or anything like that other lad.. Since the update your were allowed have a bio thing which I wasn't really interested in, I just put down my name, location and the word c*nt as I use that word when im playing a game like "ah c*unt" if I die or something.. Just the email said someone reported me and ive now been suspended lol!

They said they sent me a message but I cant find it on the dashboard nor the xbox website when you sign into your account there so I don't know how long ive been suspended for?

Just really posted this to say if anyone on here has something like that on yout profile delete before you get suspened :rolleyes:

Never thought it would happen..

grizzly

First a first offense it about 2 weeks, I think

quad_red

TheDoc

Yea but think about it, its there and not doing anyone harm its your own choice to read it or not! Unlike if I was using it against other players then you would have every right to bash me but I don't! I play properly and not like a "retard" in games.

They should have a rule where you have to be over 18yrs to view over 18yrs profiles and you cant report unless its got to do with racism/porn/advertising or something thats actually inappropriate!

One word of profanity on my Profile and I get suspened!?

What about all the profanity I hear all day on xbox live!?

dazftw

One question can I check my dashboard message now or not? The email says how long the suspension is for but I cant get into my messages on it!?

cedomination

Why do you seem so surprised?
You broke the toc,you took a risk.

dazftw

Its just funny someone saw it and went to the hassle of reporting me for one word.. lol All of the inappropriate stuf on xbox live everyday.. just mine seems a bit stupid. I probably pissed someone off playing Kane and Lynch cause thats the last game I was playing!

Just waiting now for an email from them telling me how long im suspended for.

Thats the email.

Its not been removed though.. I can still see it just cant edit it cause I have to be signed into xbox live

Now I just read it again the support people wont be able to tell me now good stuff!

zAbbo

are you surprised?

two wrongs don't make a right, and just because you've heard worse on XBL doesn't make it ok for you to include it on your profile.

the word c*nt as I use that word when im playing a game like "ah c*unt" if I die or something

Not sure what your reasoning is, it's very unlikely someone reported you, more than likely just an active monitor on banned words.

I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to use profanity in their profile, or a need to warn them, but I guess thats what you're bringing to our attention here...

dazftw

I just came on to warn people if someone has the same get rid of it! You'd swear I was this stupid horrible person lol.

I just need to find out how long its suspended for so instead of feeling big and telling me I got what I deserved (which ive known since I started the thread) Could you help me with finding out how long im suspended for!?

If I cheated and posted this up you would have every right abuse me but I didn't!

This thread has reached it's LOL limit. No more LOL's please.:)

ah one more , lollers to the OP what did you think would happen putting curse words in your profile

dazftw

Anyone want to help me?

miju

TBH I dont think there is much you can do. Much like here on boards when your banned your only option is to sit and wait out your ban as you broke the charter (or in xbox lives case their usage terms & conditions)

personally i think you were very hard done by given some of the stuff you hear and read while playing but you were unlucky

el dude

Jeeeesus. What's the average age of the people posting in here? 60? Some of you really sound likeold women! "Well you were very bold for using a bad word".

I think that is waay too harsh. It's your ****ing bio, you should be allowed to say what you like, within reason of course! And who the fcuk read's the 'toc'. I gave that other lad stick because he was a cheater but we all hate them!

dazftw

wahey someone who is actually speaking the truth and acting a total prat..

as I said before! They should have a rule where you have to be over 18yrs to view over 18yrs profiles and you cant report unless its got to do with racism/porn/advertising or something thats actually inappropriate!

On an unrelated note, I wrote the word c*nt on the dirt on my car becauseI think it's cool and it's a word I use all the time.

But kids can't drive cars so I reckon that even though they can see it they and there parents should fvck off and not moan as I'm so cool.

Dont be at yourself

Swearing is cool!

dazftw

There really isn't anything wrong with swearing at all!

Just went on the xbox forum it seems alot of people are getting suspended for this! The thing is people are getting suspended for having mottos such as

"Nintendo is better"
"I win you lose"
"popping smoke" from cod4

Its doesn't matter what you have if enough people report you you get suspended its all done by computer!

My suspension is lifted today should be sometime in the morning, is there an option like on myspace bebo etc etc to block people from viewing your profile if there not your friend?

EDIT: signed into an old profile and found you can.

Dont be at yourself

There's a time and a place. Most wouldn't want to see the C-word displayed in 10 foot high letters on the side of a bus - it's a public space, and not everyone shares your enthusiasm for vulgarity. XBox Live! is also a public space, and one accessed by children of all ages.

Really, this sums up what's wrong with Xbox Live. Too many users are too immature, too inconsiderate or too apathetic of others, and so the whole service is hi-jacked by the loud, abnoxious minority.

I read an interesting suggestion on one of the game blogs today: Microsoft should match users according to their age. I'd go one further, and endeveour to match users according to their mental age.

dazftw

I don't swear or use any vulgarity on xbox live while playing games with other people its the little kids and Americans that do that! The other day I was playing kane and lynch and some kid got killed by someone else and for the next 10 minutes he abused his mother!? Are grouping me with these people!? I had the word c*unt big deal one word im over 18 classes me as an adult its not like you have ever used a curse word in your life against someone or with your friends?? :rolleyes:

When I said there was nothing wrong with swearing, its fine within a group of friends or in a adult environment most of the time when im on xbox live im in private chat with my friends and in there I always curse and give out about other players! Cause its acceptable when im with my friends! In public, no its not acceptable thats just the way it goes I know that, you know that, nearly everyone on this forum knows that!

With that im stopping now.. Ive gotten the answer I needed. Thanks to the people who helped me

RedXIII

Know someone who created a profile with a very racist name, and spent a day screaming racial slurs in halo 3. He didn't get his account banned at all, he just had to change his name, wtf?!!! And his bio.... all the curse words were left unchanged XD

The bottom-line is that your use of swear words was not limited to your friends - you used what many consider to be the most vulgar swear word on your public bio. People clearly took offense, and reported you for it. I fail to see the great injustice.

I don't think anybody has a problem using swear words amongst friends - I'm quite the foulmouth myself around my mates. However, putting words like that on a publicly accessible space just smacks of ignorance and immaturity.

I can't understand the big moan about a short ban for basically acting the "mickey"
Why you would want to put offensive innuendo in your profile is beyond me.
All your doing is showing your either an immature ***t or a foul mouthed child.
Either way people can switch of your mouth but cant edit your motto.

Get over it.

LegacyUser

Jesus Christ why is everyone going so mental at him!? Big deal...he put a curse word in his bio...

WHO CARES

TheDoc

theres no defence for it and its funny the way he tries too tbh....

all games now carry a "experience may change during online play" to incorporate language and terms used by players over microphones.....

you cannot be banned for using profanity over the headset ingame...

but you can in your profile

doesnt say anything in toc for headset only profiles

retarted error just lol tbh

less dopes on live the better

Nah nothing backfired just a bunch of lads who want act all big cool bully and give out to me.. I know for a fact if that happened to anyone I would reply its a bit slack but rules are rules its just unlucky.. as someone said your not all 60 year old women! Cursing happens everyday ffs get over it!

BUT if someone was cheating or abusing people over mic then I get all big and cool and give out to him..

Not for a having a curse word lol everyone on xbox live has said the word in topic! It had to been some little twat I killed on kane and lynch that got pissed off and decided use the fact I had the word to his own advantage!

I was not defending myself I clearly stated in my 1st post I posted this up to let me people know if they had the same to delete it!

The worst thing you did was come on to this site and brag about why you got banned.

Your just brutally honest and feel hard done-by , happens to us all , you have accepted it and probably won't do it again.

Yea I just didn't realise it was that serious on live ive had my xbox since about septemeber.. But yea Ive changed my profile to friends only and don't even have a bio or anything now!

Ha, 'tis harsh
Maybe I should change my motto so!

It was stupid to use it in your motto, like it or not children do have access to your gamer tag so it shouldn't have been there. You got like a two day ban? You wont have it in your title again? No reason to even really post about it?!

dazftw

it was in my bio.. but that doesn't matter anymore.. I posted to warn people.. and my profile is like private so its all good!

Stokolan

Heh reminds me of when I played Everquest 2. I had my name as "Stokolan Da Pikeybitch" for about 6 months before it was reported.. But all that happened was a GM popped up and said that I would have to change it. He gave me some stupid second name after that. Glad it wasn't banable. But then some companys act differently. But then 2 week suspension aint too bad.

Dont be at yourself

Jerry's Final Thought:

Swearing isn't big or clever. Not only that, it may get you banned or suspended on Xbox Live.

You fucking guys.
