Lesbian: "my account was suspended because I had said in my profile that I was a lesbian. I was harassed by several players, 'chased' to different maps/games to get away from their harassment. They followed me into the games and told all the other players to turn me in because they didn't want to see that crap or their kids to see that crap."

Microsoft: "As stated in the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use, a member may not create a gamertag or use text in other profile fields that include comments that look, sound like, stand for, hint at, abbreviate, or insinuate content of a potentially sexual nature"

NOT sexual in nature: all the mostly naked female characters in the Xbox live universe.

It is so retarded, the rating on the game is MA but you can't have a gamertag or anything in your profile pertaining to religion, sex, even slightly naughty words that are repeated and outdone in the actual game itself. Most words are banned and you can't use them in your Gamertag or in your profile. Once in a while though you discover that there are a few words that slipped through the cracks and you can use and get away with.

Like this

That's a one month account I made a while back. Turns out cum isn't an offensive word.

You have to do what the terms of use says no matter what your sexual orientation.

You don't HAVE to. It's just advisable some of the time.

My problem with the Xbox live ToS is the hypocrisy.

My problem with the Xbox is the red ring of death.

Another friend of mine got the RRoD last week. I've been fortunate. It really is a 3rd rate product in a lot of ways.

I just don't think the PS3 has any games (that appeal to me) that I couldn't get for the 360. I also play Halo more than anyone else on the planet.
