Be Excellent To Each Other

After seeing this article, I think we should see if we can get 'Major Nelson' banned, as its obviously some sort of perverted sex act.

But what act should it be?

Stupid motherfrackers.

Is this article for real? The quote from the Microsoft guy made me chuckle...

"Our forbidden names list is many thousands now," said Stephen Toulouse, program manager in charge of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live. " Language takes on new meanings daily.

"My team spends a lot of time learning as slang evolves, as the Internet drives new communications. We have to work very hard to be abreast on those sorts of things."

Italics added

Stephen Toulouse is the cunt who banned, and therefore created the Internet's Famous Richard Gaywood's Internet Fame. Along with the twat who reported him, obv.

Toulouse? As in Toulouse-Latrec? Oh my! He was a FRENCH (debauchery) artist (more debauchery) who was inbred (INCEST!) and drank absinthe (not just alcohol, but VERY BAD ALCOHOL THAT IS BANNED in places)!!!! BAN HIM

Too loose? As in YO MOMMA'S PUSSY? BANNED!

Two louse? As in the pubic lice I caught from YO MOMMA'S STANK POON? BANNED AGAIN?

Honestly, this man ought to practice what he preaches, physician heal thyself, etc etc etc.

Strikes me that they're fighting a losing battle.

Anyway, what sort of wooly thinking goes into publishing games that feature ultra violence which encourage users to hack and slash eachother apart, a good dose of swearing and sexual acts denies users from "using profanity or vulgarity" in a message or user name?

Microsoft: we don't need your double standards to guard our morals.

I think they're more afraid that some poor kid might be playing Viva Pinata or something and be traumatised by someone who has a name like 'Reverse Cowgirl Titfucking' or 'Alabama Hot Pocket'. But as one of the comments quite rightly points out, the majority of interactions on Live are done via voice chat. I've been called a gay nazi motherfucking nigger more times than I can count, and as I was filing a complaint against one such person I was amused to see that their name, location and bio had all been changed to 'Code of Conduct' by the Microsoft Thought Police.

His friend hadn't been caught yet, as his bio was still filled with 'nigger'.

Where do clan tags fall into all of this?
There was a guy on CoD4 the other night with the clan tag [IRA] which annoyed me.
Spl1ff St4r got on my tits too.

My gamertag would be PimpGhettoDawg666Bitch69 except that won't fit.

I wonder if 'I Heart Clunge' would be allowed?
