"Arkthemaniac said:No just one. But having a swear word in your bio is just a 1 day supsension, and what was the swear word doing there anyway??"MB said:I think it takes a lot of people reporting for any action to be taken, but I could be wrong."I'm sure this is a case of users abusing the reporting feature on Xbox Live. Isn't it set that if enough people report a profile as offensive, it's automatically edited or temporarily banned by Microsoft?That's stupid. Does that mean I can go and report someone that has a curse in their profile because they beat me at Gears online? And it'll fly? Man, you can never trust that kind of power to people . . . unless they are Giant Bomb, and that power is in the form of mod-less editing."

Identifying yourself as gay on XBL=ban
"AndrewGaspar said:I thought it was Gay Dickwood"I have to say, though, that Richard Gaywood is a name that's just asking for it.He prefers Dick. Dick Gaywood.

This is why "majority rule" is a bad idea on XBL or in politics. Most people who muster up the energy to vote, are bigots and ignorant. Just like here in CAli the anti gay marriage bill passed. It was one of the fatal flaws of "Bringing freedoms to I-rack" as Bush W put it. If majority rules over in Iraq they will simply elect a right wing radical religious rule.
"She did it to be cause trouble. Got what she deserved.Yeah I'm a little dubious about the whole thing. When someone asks me to describe myself as a gamer in a sentence I don't start with "I'M HETEROSEXXXUAL 4 REALZ". I would like to know exactly what was written in her profile.

"She did it to be cause trouble. Got what she deserved.Was it? How much of the story do you know? Are you aware that Xbox Livetards are assholes, assholes who try hard to be assholes. What if some jackass had decided to bitch since "he got his ass kicked by a girl" (You know the masculine fear of getting their ass beat by a woman)? Did she get what she deserved? Hardly, this is grave injustice, the assholes won this time because the topic at hand is the last acceptable form of bigotry.

"Alexander said:I'm saying you have no idea of the context of how she broadcasted her sexual orientation. I'm saying if you go into a Halo 3 match dressed in pink and your gamertag reads GayBoyLovin, you're asking for trouble. And I'm not even saying she was asking for it, I'm saying you don't know exactly how it was. Whatever happened to you is irrelevant and a different context."Snipzor said:Until I point out that I was once a victim of the same abuse.

It's fucked up, totally fucked up..It seems harsh, but at the same time I don't see why some people feel the need to proclaim their sexual orientation to everyone, especially on a online videogame network.

I've been in several Call of Duty games with overt religious people including one guy was explaining to his mate why his weapon packs were named after religious characters. 'This one's called Moses because he took it to the Egyptians. But he never took them on violently which is why everything has a silencer on it.' I am paraphrasing but it was disturbing as hell.

"Yep, you're absolutely right. there was some bru-ha-ha about some other ridiculous banning a while ago and that was MS's explanation.
As for those of you asking why she'd put that in her bio anyway....I mean, why the hell not? It's a bio, it's supposed to describe your identity in a concise manner. My bios describe meas a geek because that's a term, an identity, I associate myself with. She associates her identity with her orientation....What business of anyone else's is it how we choose to identify ourselves?
