Some of you may not find any of this funny. I think it is hilarious.

 

Microsoft can be real sticklers when it comes to enforcing the Terms & Conditions for using the XBOX Live service. A lot of Xbox users get banned because they are just plain stupid. MS has a public forum where those that have been banned/suspended can appeal their case. 99% of the time, Microsoft's answer is "NO!"

 

You can read the back-and forths here:

Scroll down past the stickies ("announcement") to get to the good stuff.

Please could you explain why my son's account has been permanently banned? He has been an xbox user for years with no problems

 

and has enjoyed gaming as one of his main hobbies. He has a high gamer score which he is very proud of. His gamer tag is ii x Exile s

 

Unfortunately after this ban his OCD and anxiety disorder have come back with aveangance and he is experiencing severe withdrawal symptons which is making

 

family life unbearable. In view of this would it be possible to reduce the ban terms to temporary rather than permanent.?

 

 

Is there not one kid in America today without some sort of "disorder?" And the response...

 

This account was permanently suspendeded for engaging in user account tampering.
