Locking Post

I understand completely to what your saying the issue is I broke no TOS I did not spew any hate or manner I asked a simple question if anyone had information and gave a brief statement as to why (all facts not slander just disappointment is paid service)
and it was very quickly silenced. had I slandered or gave fake/lies I would understand this. the point of any forum is for us and gamers/paid customers to talk and discuss issues good or bad, I have again just read the TOS and it says nothing that I said was
against it can one of you show me I could be missing it?

Sorry that don't apply to paying customers we have EVERY right to voice opinions and FYI Microsoft is not Private Business its publicly owned by shareholders so you might want to get your facts right.

Actually it does. You indeed have a right to voice your opinions, but Microsoft is under no obligation to host that opinion on their servers. Neither is Facebook, neither is Twitter, neither is any other social media outlet or company-hosted forum. A publicly-traded
business (one that sells stock, like Microsoft) is still a private business in the eyes of the law and of the Constitution.

While you didn't post anything that slandered or could be considered lies/fake etc... the advice you asked for can't be given by laymen like most community members here.

If someone gave you legal advice as a community member, and that advice would have put you at a disadvantage, Microsoft could be held responsible for what the user recommended you.

Or the user could simply be trolling you and knowingly give you false legal advice, just because.

Therefore, it makes no sense to discuss or ask for legal advice in a public forum. There are people around the world, where laws are different. For example in Germany, there is nothing similar to a "class action lawsuit".

So in order to prevent others from giving you incorrect legal advice that would be harmful to you, the thread was locked.

So it was not your "fault" the thread was locked, but it was to protect you from incorrect information that could lead to a disadvantage for you in a lawsuit.

If you really need legal advice regarding your controller, you should actually ask a real lawyer.

These two ...

27) You may not post links or link to any site that does not fall in line with the rules of this site or breaks the Terms of Use or Guidelines. Including but not limited to adult related material, Non Xbox
related material, illegal or offensive content etc.

28) Do not repost content a moderator has removed, repost a topic that has been locked, remove a post edited by a moderator or post about forum moderation decisions. If you have a question or concern about a forum moderation decision, please
private message the applicable moderator.

The former, as it falls into "not limited to", and the forum moderators have been given latitude to interpret. Almost any site will suspend privileges when legal action is threatened, so that's certainly not unusual.

This post is also in violation of the latter, as well, as you're complaining about a mod's decision.

Microsoft has set up rules (the Microsoft Terms of Use) that you agreed upon when you started using the Microsoft Services.

As FearedNightmare correctly stated: Freedom of Speech only prevents the government from not arresting you for your opinions.

If you paid for a train ticket, you are allowed to board a train and ride it to your destination. Even if you paid for the train ride, the company running the trains can set up certain rules that you have to adhere: For example not to smoke, to have luggage
properly stowed and other things that otherwise restrict your rights as a "regular" person in an otherwise public space.

So: If you violate the rules in this forum or the Xbox service by manner of speech or text, you will be moderated or suspended from participating.

This was told you before you joined the service, and you agreed to that.

And therefore can Microsoft enforce these rules in their own network and services.

As for your legal question about class lawsuits regarding the Elite controllers:

This is a Community forum hosted by Microsoft.

There are no lawyers here that could give you advice on this.
