As far as I know they ban your gamertag for Terms of Services breaches. They ban your console if it is detected as modified (which has been made impossible by the morons who keep updating the custom firmware) because it is a Terms of Service breach to modify the hardware connected to Live.

but what if the racism or homophobia is coming FROM INSIDE THE GAMERTAG?Count Dookkake said:

Did you file a complaint? Cos that guys motto and bio have been changed to 'Code of Conduct' now. :lolThe Faceless Master said:

It's completely fine to judge that, as it is a pretty hilarious distinction.
Gore is fine, but vulgarity is not?

OH SNAP!cjelly said:
i files one weeks ago, and nothing happened.
someone else must have done it recently.
Im assuming some of you defending the gamertag arguments have offensive gamertags or something. I dont understand why its being a pansy to report the gamerTag that basically says they hate some group of people or they should all die or stuff like she was only 7. Ive never came across a gamertag like that

I filed a complaint against a mouth breather. I could hear him breathing for the whole match in CoD4, and he didn't do anything about it when I asked him to fix it.
I was tempted to complain about some guys I played with last night. I had to listen to them call each other stupid names for ten minutes before the match finally ended. I don't mind trash talk when it's actually funny, or is at least relevant to the game being played ("you killed me, asshole!"), but these guys were just randomly swearing at each other in a mindless way, and they never let up.

I do, but only if they go out of their way to ruin my experience. If it's just general shit-talking, I don't feel there's any need to bring MS into the mix.

Not usually. "Team Killing" is considered Unsporting and I'll leave back feedback everytime for it in COD4.
I did it back in Halo 2 when people were flying like Superman 50 feet above the map thanks to modding.
If it's racist or homophobic stuff I'll usually just do an "avoid player" thing, I guess because I've figured it never works and/or I usually just quit out of games or mute people like that right away and don't catch their tags.

Yah same in SCIV. I noticed that I had 33% of people saying I was "unsporting" even though every match I chose a different character, try out different moves and do not really win very often. So since then everytime I report people every chance I get.
Nope. The only time I would is if they are glitching and getting into private rooms and fucking with our gameplay.
Maybe i'm part of the problem but if someone is being racist or anything like that I just ignore them, and most of the time I laugh at them. Some of the stupid shit they say is just so hilarious. Especially in COD4 when its British and Americans talking mad shit about each other.

You know what I had in my bio since the day bios were introduced? The word "ass", what a HORRIBLE word.. You might want to shield your eyes but the bio read "Duke Nukem: Kicking ass and taking names." Unbelievably offensive, I know.
90% of my time on the 360 this year has been spent playing Rock Band. I never quit out in the middle of a song and my headset doesn't even work with my guitar. Despite that, slooowly but surely my rep has been dropping.. It was at 86%, now it's down to 70%.. How is this possible? Because people are beginning to abuse the avoid player/file complaint system. While most players will only do it for a specific reason for others it can literally be for any reason, including the fact that they simply lost the match and got angry. Even just recently I watched my rep fall another 2% trying to play Castle Crashers online, a game that is currently notorious for booting players to the menu during the loading. I guess some people think everyone in the world is just quitting early.
Now this would normally not be a problem.. But.. There is a new trend on Live apparently. NO ONE EVER SETS ANYONE AS A PREFERRED PLAYER ANY MORE. The only time anyone did this was around the time 360 launched and people thought it mattered. Do you ever think to yourself "wow, I'm gonna set that person as a preferred player! huhu!"? Doubt it. But I bet you get a little twinge of anger every now and again over something and head right for the avoid player/file complaint. The whole system is flawed.. Players who file too many complaints should themselves be penalized in some fashion (perhaps have their complaints count for less), if only to make people more selective about WHO/WHAT they are complaining about. The funniest part of the whole system is when you add someone to your friends list they are NOT automatically set as a preferred player, which they should be.
Meh, that rant could go on and on. The point is the whole system is in need of an overhaul, a major one at that.
Perhaps you're wondering about my Duke Nukem bio thing containing the word ass. Well the good news is it only got me a 1 week suspension. Ass = 1 week. Don't I hear this word on cable television nightly? No warning, no "change your bio", no nothing, just the ol' ban hammer. It's pretty absurd really, it also goes to show it's banning automatically under some kind of criteria and no person ever reviews/investigates these complaints. I can't say I was too upset though, having no access to live is not a big deal for me. I was more worried about the all the money I'd spent on DLC/XBLA games/etc etc which are tied directly to my gamertag..
Maybe I am bitter and the system is impeccable? I dunno. One thing I know for sure is I would not be happy about losing 1K worth of downloadable content because Jimmy 12 year got angry over losing and decided the best course of action was to file a complaint.

If people are annoying the fuck out of me, then usually I'll mute them and then submit feedback so they are an avoided player. Happens quite a lot now, I get a lot of stick especially on COD4 - people think I am either a prepubescent boy, or tell me girls shouldn't be playing!
Filed a complaint the other day though, some guy was using a modded pad on COD4 and shooting the shit out of everyone with his G3. And he was actually boasting about having a modded pad! Was well annoyed about that, we still beat him but its like, if you need to cheat and you can't even win, why bother?
Never reported a GT but I've not really come across anything that offensive - only vulgar stuff and that doesn't really bother me.

This. I don't understand why people complain about others being racist or sexist or "mean". It's the internet. I remember hearing the exact same stuff playing CounterStike, and before that the exact same stuff on Starcraft, and everywhere else on the interwebs. Besides, I think it's hilarious when BIG MAN MEAT headshots someone in Halo 3.

why don't you ask that question to those who get offended by some words,also what you say about GOW doesn't make any sense or refute my point in any way,many of those people who complain about names because they find it offensive,play games like GOW which are full of gore.

I reported a piece of shit who's gamertag was "Nigur Killah". I checked some time afterwards and it was no longer in use. Shit like that should be grounds for permaban from XBL without a refund. This is why we click the "I agree" button before we sign up.
Lesser dicks just get the "don't hook me up with this douche ever again" button.
