Xbox sucks c****.
Discussion
I've been banned for 24 hours, and I really don't know why. I've not been offensive to anyone and theres nothing in my profile which is offensive. I can only imagine its some piddly yanks who don't like me beating them.
I phoned the customer service asking why I was banned and they said that nobody knows. So I'm writing a complaint at the moment.
What tossers!

There's a guy on the xbox forums called Stepto (Stephen Tolouse iirc) who is the leader of the banning team at MS, might be worth dropping him a PM as to why.
They're a cliquey bunch on the xbox forums, so if you post a "why was I banned?" thread, they'll all harp and crow at you, this stepto bloke will post exactly why you were banned (maybe saying in your bio "Off to smoke some fags" or something equally as piss poor as that) and everyone will +1 and roffle like the children that they are!

Okay so this is my profile: http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/profile/profile.aspx?Ga...
So whatever it was it must have been something in my biography right? As now all of it has disappeared.
I know exactly what I had, do you really think they have banned me for this:
I had my name as Guiseppe Wadamingo location was shottingham, and then the clarkson for PM.
Okay so its not entirely true but f
king hell, to ban someone for that when its not offensive is a joke.

Okay here is my profile as I can still see it offline:
Clarkson for PM.
Guiseppe Wadamingo
Shottingham
Clarkson for prime minister! Don't know what else to write! Gay.
www.chew-the-fat.com
So I'm guessing it was the word: 'gay' but fking hell thats a bit sparse isn't it? It has many meanings.

I'd say the link was the issue, or possibly using 'Gay'.
