Title: Just got banned from XBL for a couple days because of my motto
Post by: demi on December 09, 2008, 09:41:22 PM: LOL!

I was playing Tomb Raider, minding my business, when I suddenly get disconnected from Live. I'm like uh... ok, weird. So I try to log back on, and it says

"You have been suspended from Xbox Live. You will not be able to sign in to Xbox Live until 12/11/2008"

So I'm freaking out like WTF DID I DO???

I log into my xbox.com account and suddenly my motto now says "Code of Conduct" where it originally said "lookin fer anuz h0gs"

Post by: Jansen on December 09, 2008, 09:49:23 PM: pretty fucking dumb to ban (even temporarily) someone from a paid service over something so trivial

since they felt that they had to do something why didn't they just delete your motto and send you an email? flippin dickheads

I actually got in trouble for having my motto set to Rob Tugnuts, which is actually my real name.

It isn't but it's the name of a real baseball player

Dick Trickle was a NASCAR driver. Set it to that and see what happens.

1. Load up the game you want deleted
2. Exit game once it has loaded up (make sure it shows as your most recent game).
3. Load up any game that you have 0g for.
4. Exit that game (once again make sure that game now shows as your most recent game). On your recent games it should now read 0g Game first and the game you want deleted should be beneath that.
5. Now, go to delete the 0g game history. If you notice that as you press "Yes" at the bottom of the screen it still says "Delete Game History". As you press "Yes", quickly press DOWN, X, UP, X. If done correctly, you should have on your screen something like "Are you sure you want to delete your games history?". Select "Yes".
6. All achievement for the game you want deleted should now be removed from your gamerscore.

so someone could recover demi's account and delete his gamerscore? :omg
