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.

So Microsoft monitors our Conversations, and bans us for swearing

"Because of your past behavior, you can't Xbox Live Gold is required to use Skype for Xbox One" I have read that over 10 times and that sentence makes no sense at all

I can kind of see the Upload Studio ban, but the private call in Skype ban? Are you serious? It is a private conversation. The keyword there: "private." Unless it is by someone reporting you, let them talk the way they want to. Do they serious have nothing better to do? So dumb.

This is ridiculous!
What did they expect to happen!?
"Because of your past behavior, you can't Xbox Live Gold is required..."
That doesn't even make sense...
This must be fake, the sentence really, doesn't make sense. At all!
