Microsoft is going to suspend or ban people that use "offensive language" or share "inappropriate content or material" on their Xbox services. This was revealed in Microsoft's newly updated Code of Conduct.
"In the Code of Conduct section, we've clarified that use of offensive language and fraudulent activity is prohibited. We've also clarified that violation of the Code of Conduct through Xbox Services may result in suspensions or bans from participation in Xbox Services, including forfeiture of content licenses, Xbox Gold Membership time, and Microsoft account balances associated with the account."
These will come into effect from May 1st, but it's still unclear what Microsoft sees as "offensive language". The Code of Conduct does advice players not to "publicly display or use the Services to share any inappropriate content or other material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence or criminal activity)."
Remains to be seen just how proactively Microsoft will enforce these new rules.
