Xbox Live Suspended

The Xbox live profile may be suspended/banned from xbox live making it unrecoverable until the suspension, if suspended, ends. If its banned, you cannot recover it once deleted.

No you can't suspend your Xbox live account but you can suspend your auto renewal payment option.

Suspension of a player's Xbox LIVE account can be imposed because of inappropriate conduct or system abuse. Inappropriate conduct includes these kinds of actions:

1. Inappropriate in-game behavior (scamming or cheating)

2. Attempts to manipulate Xbox LIVE services through network interference, feedback abuse, complaint abuse, or other system tampering

When an Xbox LIVE account is suspended, the suspension blocks the suspended player from signing in to Xbox LIVE with the suspended account.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The duration of the suspension depends on the frequency or severity of the offense. A minor infraction may result in a temporary (rather than permanent) suspension.

Temporary account suspensions end at about the same time of day as when they are issued (at the end of the suspension period—24 hours, three days, and so on).

A message with the suspension end date appears when you sign in to Xbox LIVE using the suspended gamertag. Also, an email message is sent to the email address that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account.

So, if your friend has been suspended or does get suspended, he should receive an email telling him how long. If he has been suspended or does get suspended and wishes to know more, please post a thread in
