I got banned for 2 days from XBL...

It must be a timezone thing because I play the 3 big ones on Live (CoD MW3, Halo and Gears 3) and I almost NEVER hear that stuff anymore. Haven't heard racial stuff for over a year now.

I've actually heard racial stuff (only a bit) on PSN playing Uncharted 3, and I barely play the PS3 online at all.

You still hear pre-pubescent kids on Live of course, but I dont hear racial stuff anymore.

I mean let's be honest, it's overblown a bit, isn't it?

I mean, you will get the occasional racist, bigot, homophobe, dudebro or what not, but generally it's not that bad.

I don't hear racial slurs on live cause I limit my voice interaction to friends only. I don't anything could make me unmute the masses.
 
I doubt it will as I am not 12 years old.


(also I sold my 360 because I got tired of playing with people you like online)

fyi as annoying as I may be I'm always in group chat with friends, so you can renew your subscription. Someone had to actually look at my profile to see it. Was probably reported by one of the bros that messaged me after a match to let me know i'm a faggot. Love the system Microsoft has set up. Its all class

Party chat helped in that regard. Keep a lot of idiots away, and games that have advanced mute features, where people get automatically muted by default if too many complain. But yes, it was always overblown, like everything on the internet.

With a quick glance at your posts, you seem like one of them. You are just mad that you are the one that got caught.
 
Well, people who lose in games are going to get pissed and look for ways to report you, so the best case is to not give them anything to report, right?

that's racist. I only chat with friends on xbl and rarely message someone random to say GG. don't be like that.

You sure seem like to have a "bro" attitude. You venting here confirms it.

Enjoy your two day ban and next time, don't break the ToS of the service you subscribe to!
 
Is this really a thread about a 2 day ban?

I mean really, is that what this is actually about?

Or is it instead a subtle undertone on the level of effectiveness of the judicial system in the US?

*boggle*.

here's one, why not report the people who call you a fag, and change your tag to something that isn't offensive. you know, rather than bitching about how the people who reported you *may* not have been banned too.
 
keep up the good work and you might get banned on gaf too.

but yes, you violated the ToS and you got banned. when you are unbanned, remove the word from your profile and you should be good to go.

I have better things to do than complain about some kid that will be back at it in a few days. LIKE COMPLAINING THAT I GOT BANNED FOR USING THE WORD BUTTHOLE IN MY MOTTO GOD THIS COUNTRY IS SHIT. When are the elected officials I voted for going to stand up for me!?

well you should thank microsoft for the extra spare time they have bequeathed you. you obviously were getting pretty bogged down with all that gaming online you've been doing.

'imma too busy killing noobs to do anything about homophobia. EAT THIS BULLET IN THE FACE NOOBALOOB. LAWLS. LOOSEBUTTHOLES.'

Well, unfortunately I'm stuck reinstalling a copious amount of programs on my machine at work, so I have some spare time right now. If not I would be rushing home to get a couple matches in before the ruiner of all things I love wants to hang out. oh wait, I used the word butthole and can't do that now any way on a service I pay for. cool
 
It's sad that someone with such a cool username could create such a terrible thread.

Also: Don't do the crime if you can't serve the time.
 
Yeah, cause that totally stops the 12 year olds from using "nigger faggot kike jew" 12 million times a round in <insert FPS title here> nightly/daily/hourly. *rolls eyes*

Frank got hit by a mod, because someone reported him. His "curse word" is probably tamer than some of the shit I've seen fly on XBL.

I can't quite believe my eyes. Who knew GAF had a "butthole" defense force? I am in awe.

it's cute how you think 'that you paid for' it counts for something here. oh the humanity. it's not my fault i broke the rules because i didn't read them. how dare they lock me out for TWO BUTT WHOLE DAYS!
 
The shit Microsoft let's people get away with on Live whether blatant hacking, cheating & just plain ole racist asshats, I seriously doubt the OP was banned just for that.

He probably did some major hacking to get noticed by MS.
 
Frank "Trashman" Reynolds;34903521 said:
for using the word "butthole." That is all.

Oh yeah, I also can't find a support number on the XBL site, and since I'm banned it won't let me use the customer support chat feature. fuck microsoft where do I call to cancel my account?

Would you like us to start blindly insulting you to give you the XBL experience you fat fuck?

i'm going to agree with you on this. BUT I ONLY USED THE WORD BUTTHOLE COME ON
if that wasn't clearly against the stated terms of use for the service, i'd feel sorry for you. but it is. that's why i love the thought of you actually trying to contact microsoft over this. like you'd say to them 'but it was only the word butthole' and they'd reply 'oh we're very sorry sir. we didn't mean to inconvenience you. let us reinstate that right away.'

is that what you thought would happen? did you think when you posted this on gaf you'd get a bunch of people sharing your pain?

Indeed, elected officials should finally start paying attention to the important issues like Frank Transhman Reynolds 12 years old getting banned for two days for saying butthole on Xbox live.

More like I wanted to close my account and make them lose $50 a year over the word butthole. I can clean the dust off my PS3 no probs.

p.s. thanks to whoever posted the support number <3
