Xbox One: MS banning users from Skype and Upload Studio for swearing
Polygon has collated a set of reports from various places, such as the Xbox forums and a Reddit thread suggesting that users were banned for uploading gameplay clips in which they use profanity, it is unclear what is considered profanity. The banned users are unable to use Upload Studio or upload any clips they captured.
Microsoft appears to have lifted the ban for one user on Reddit by the name of MakVolci, he said, ” Okay I got a hold of a Microsoft representative. They’ve told me that my standing is “good” and don’t see an issue with my account – I’m in ‘good standing’.” He later added, ” I hopped on Upload Studio about twenty minutes ago and tried it out. It is now working for me, and I was successfully able to upload my Kinect footage and DVR footage to both Xbox and SkyDrive. It appears as though the Upload Studio suspension is a 24 hour suspension, as I believe it was for me.”
One Twitter user is reporting that he’s not able to use Skype for swearing in a private call, and receiving the following message:
Users who have been banned for using profanity in their Upload Studio clips are also reportedly being banned from using Skype. Polygon has reached to Microsoft for a comment.

-CP That is unbelievably stupid, lmao.
Damn straight. How are you going to ban someone for using some words that get tossed around practically everywhere in today's society. MS is taking restrictions way too far with that one, especially if that bit is true about a private Skype call. MS has no business detecting, listening or what not, what went on in that call.

I agree with Microsoft for banning people because if im watch something on there and my little sister hears that language she'll pick it up and start saying it. Well Done Microsoft.

VEVOHumpdayEpilepsies Banned from skype from swearing in a private call... you gotta be joking, is this going to happen on the skype program itself on the computer because that'd just make my dayit never said private call on the screen. Your believing what some random kid posted on twitter, with a picture. He probably posted something using his upload studio, and swore in the process. You guys have to understand. Parents buy this console for there kids. Should they have to worry about you swearing and educating your kids, would you want your kids hearing those words? If you do care about this, I advise you to buy a console rated mature.
If THAT is the reason they implemented this, they can screw off. If parents don't want the kiddies hearing cuss words, they need to set parental controls to keep them off things that can expose them to that. So little Timmy can shoot people in an overrated FPS and go to a strip club and see some **** plus steal cars but GOD FORBID if his perfect little virgin ears hears the F-word.
You Mad Bro? its he internet its not always 100% true but w/e just deal with it.

Axe That is really stupid. Banning somebody for swearing. If this is the case, then I might not be getting xbox one.
It's only because the Xbox One is suitable for any age.
