I don't get it....

I frequently report people that claim to live in West Virginia. It's juvenile and offensive to people from real states.

I had a gamer tag on XBox called RightInTheNuts. XBox let me have it when I signed up and it worked for about 4-6 weeks. One day I log in and am notified my gamertag was suspended for violation of naming policy.

Can we see if there's a Consumerist link so we can have a little more ridiculous outrage with the story?

Toulouse says training has since been updated.

Does this mean they taught everyone how to use Bing Maps to check whether a town is real?

voodoolady: How hard would it have been for Microsoft to look at a map before suspending him?

Um, we are talking about GAMERS here.

I guess since I used to live in Mount Gay, WV that I shouldn't bother either.

They have internet in WV?

Hey, I used to work at Family Discount Pharmacy there for about four years.

Wait until they find out about my friend, Bigus Dickus.

Wait to they find out that Connecticut has a state park called Gay City.

/ sometimes words have two meanings

Try living in Scoonthorpe and registering for farking anything

See cant even post the name of the smurf-felching town here.

MOOOOOOOM I GOT BANNED FROM THE XBOX CAN U GO ON THE FORUM PLZ AND COMPLAIN?????? (pic - pop)

this woman was probably very shocked to see that the XBL is not the school and they don't give a f*ck what she says.

FTA: Xbox Live chief enforcement officer Stephen Toulouse acknowledges the agent reviewing a fellow gamer's complaint against Moore made a mistake.

Someone seriously reported him for that? This almost looks like just as much the fault of an over-sensitive twat as Microsoft.

Talk all the shiat you want about the 304, haters, but our gays are fortified. Yours just dance and make pesto and whatever.

/RIP RCB

Why does Microsoft hate gays?

Or, step 3 of reviewing a complaint; "farking google the name and check the claimed town vs. the billing address."

Sorta cool story bro; driven through Fort Gay a few times. Was down in the area when the company I worked for was bidding on some tunnels for the railroad.

So are they suspending him for using an epithet or being an epithet?

As usual, The Onion reports objectively (new window)

Good thing he wasn't from Intercourse, PA

discgolfguru: ElPollotonto: They have internet in WV?

Yes, We do. It runs on moonshine and incest.

So, pretty much the same as the rest of the internet?

Well PS must have a different policy because I see a lot of offensive names on there.

/sharing for anyone else bored at work.
//lord knows that's not the case on Fark

On the subject of oddly named places to live, I used to cross River Styx Rd/Blvd on my way to work a few years ago.

What about the peeps at Seymour Johnson AFB?

The local high school must be weird to compete against. The whole opposite side of the stands are shouting, "GO GAY!"

Last I checked, XBL is made up of 13 year old boys with waaaaay too much time on their hands. I would guess it was one of them just trying to make someone else's life more difficult.

Why did you dismount gay?

Try living with both Blue Ball and Intercourse in the same county.

Beaver1224: Just wait til the guys in Niger set up accounts.

Please...

It's right across the Tug Fork from the equally small town of Louisa, Kentucky.

It took maybe five minutes for me to find this on Google Maps, and Bing Maps is just as quick.

MSFT has no excuse for verifying whether or not the town exists; and whoever complained is a panty-waisted, limp-wristed, driving-exactly-the-speed-limit-in-the-left-lane-and-cuts-off-people-who-try-to- pass-him-just-to-force-them-to-obey-the-speed-limit MORALFAG

If only there were an internet based map service that would allow Microsoft to easily look up towns in the USA.

Maybe someday we'll have that technology.

Anyone know his Fark handle?

Stationed at Ft. Gay

And the sonsabiatches jack up the price of XBL at the same time they water it down with digipets and Martha Stewart reruns. Of course I'm kidding about those added features, but XBL is getting bad with all the extra junk being tacked on.

How about F*@#ing,Austria. Now That would be a difficult call.

I was once at a bachelor party and ordered a rum and coke and the waiter asked if I had a rum preference. I said, "Mount Gay" and the guy next to me cracked up. He quieted down real fast when the waiter said, "Very good choice, sir."

Does this mean that people from Dildo, Newfoundland, South Dildo, Newfoundland, or Spuzzum, British Columbia are also out? Gawd amuricans are terrified of the power of words.

Our fathers came across the prairies, fought Indians, fought drought, fought locusts, fought Dix... remember when Richard Dix came in here and tried to take over this town?
