So the way you just said that.

in example terms.

Him: **** off.
You: Go and get a life you're terrible at the game.

which seems worse to you? You legit are making this worse on yourself?

No dude. Playing this word game is stupid. You're proving my point. This is a rule based on the words that someone said to someone else while playing a video game. It's not like I told the dude to kill himself while I bang his mother. No, the kid says some smart ass shit to me and I told him to piss off. OH THE HUMANITY WHAT EVER WILL WE DO!?!?!?

The person who messaged you would never have came into contact with you unless they owned Call of Duty, so you'd presume they're at least 16+ years old if they're playing it. In which case they're obviously going to be familiar with far worse swear words and they shouldn't be messaging adults on an online game and not expect adult-like responses.

I've only been banned once before by the enforcement team and it's pretty damn annoying. It's easier to just invite them to an Xbox Live party and talk it out instead of risking the chance of being banned. I can understand where you're coming from though.

I've been banned numerous times for sending abusive messages to people in the heat of the moment.

002 wrote OK, I'd like to take a swing at this. As previously stated, the console is for EVERYONE, you're messaging over the console, not the game.

Secondly, let's say the console is rated M for giggles. What does M stand for? MATURE. That doesn't mean F this, F that, F you, F him, it means have some damn respect and act like an adult.

So someone tells you to "go outside more" or something along those lines, you have a couple options. One way is simple saying F off, F you, etc. and get a communication ban, you can hit the block button on that person if they bother you that much, you can simple not even waste time and effort and just ignore them, OR, you can send a smart ass message back / send a G-rated F-you back. For example, a G-rated message might be "I'm glad you know more about me than I do, I work outside 10 hours a day 6 days a week" or something like that. A smart ass message might be "I'm glad I'm so good I could get you to message me telling me how good I am.

Also remember one of the most important things when talking to people. Take it from here Thumper!

I get what you are saying man but come on grow up if you can give but not take then don't open your mouth. It's so pathetic to go online bait someone into responding to you and then getting them banned for it. Talk about petty non sense. Furthermore microsoft shouldn't be in the business of silencing people because they use naughty words on their platform. I don't care if they don't like it.

This is the issue with people, most people would rather get even with the person making them mad instead of getting ahead of that person. By Responding to them saying "piss off", it's not going to solve anything, in fact they are getting the reaction they want. All you are doing is staying on that same level that other person is, if you give a mature, adult response then they will think damn, I'm an asshole and you end up ahead. Simply saying "piss off" won't get you there. Next time someone says "dude, you're such a try hard, you need to go outside more", respond with "hey thanks for looking out for me and my health, I really appropriate it". You could add on to that saying "but I'm fairly content with my current health and living situation!" and they will stop sending you aggravating messages because you're acting in a mature way, you're not feeding into their BS.

Life is a big game of chess, either make everyone your pawn or be the pawn.

I never got banned before in 8 years...
Stopped playing a lot during the new gen, but I would shit on kids in Halo 3 MCC and a few trash talk messages later I'm com banned.

Crazy, it's a video game

OG12 wrote So you were banned twice before this for doing the same thing then proceeded to do it again for a third time and you're complaining? smh.

Maybe don't send abusive messages again and this won't happen, just a thought.

Can you read? OK, lets try this again.

If I walk up to and punch you, and you punch back, except you punch a bit a harder, why are you the one to get in trouble for it? Don't you see the fault in this? Anyone that you don't like, all you have to do is send them some edgy ass message telling them to "stop trying" or "get a life" and if you reply with a meany word then you get banned. That is absurd.

Thats not even a comparison, what he said and you said were 2 very different levels of escalation, it would be like someone poking you and you immediately punching them, it doesn't make sense so just learn to deal with it they have the right to punish you for going against the code

No. No. No. If you shit talk someone online and then report them for shit talking you back then there is a clear problem. You don't even know the words spoken but you are assuming that I'm in the wrong. If someone sends you a message and tells you to get a life and you tell them to **** off you shouldn't get banned for that. It's not rocket science. It's not like I went on crusade and spammed him or anything. I simply told him to **** off. If I had told him to leave me alone I wouldn't of gotten banned but oh no I used the word **** so crucify me at the state B O Y S.

Question? How old are you? Because if you were mature enough to see that is not talking smack on someone, it is instigating but you took it way out of proportion

lol complaining for something you know who have been banned for in the past.

my mans here is 19 and is still fighting with people over 1v1's lmao.

Grow up and stop fighting with 12 year olds over cod

What I don't get is the fact it happened twice now don't you know how to stop when you did it the first time? You're lucky your account isn't banned or even so a console ban at this rate.

What you shoudl've done when he sent you that message you shouldn't muted him in game and then blocked his message or even so done the adult way and reported his message then he would've got a 2 week ban not you?
