  1. What kind of equipment is considered a TOS offense for xbox live use


    quick question; I have notice surge in xbox users using mouse and keyboard adapter such as XIM and hori pads mouse adapter to play online competitive games. I just was wondering what is Xbox's terms of service stand regarding this type of adapters to play
    games online, can I purchase one, or will I get banned if I do so. Please inform as to if this type of equipment is considered equipment which gives players an unfair advantage. I hate getting beat out by a mouse and keyboard on a console seem unfair as the
    mouse would definitely be more precise then a controller, these adapter give players what seems to be an unfair advantage because of the insane look sensitivity they are selecting because the adapter slow the mouse speed down allowing them to play on the
    highest look sensitivity yet remain controllable because of the adapter. Also if this is a punishable offense what is xbox actually doing to prevent the use of this adapter, because I'm feeling as there are more mouse adapters on xbox live than there should,
    feels like 2 to 5 people out of a 12 person live game lobby use this type of adapter, yet doesn't seems like no one is being banned, I would hate to believe live enforcement team is not immediately stopping any use of this type of adapter use. Either way I
    would like to know what the verdict is regarding use of this type of equipment, and if this equipment is punishable how I'm to believe that something is being done.

    :)

    Advice

    That might actually be considered against the Terms of Service for use of trading for MSP, which is a bannable offense..

    •Don’t use your account for commercial purposes (including, without limitation, trading services or in-game content for currency or Microsoft Points).

    What kind of equipment is considered a TOS offense for xbox live use

    If the items are 3rd party and legitimately purchased and used without modifying both the console and/or game then I don't believe there would be an issue with them.

    However, if the console needs to be modified in order to use these items then you run the risk of having the console and/or gamertag banned from the service.

    I think, in this case though, that you should send a pm to one of the support personnel on the forums (their gamercards have an S) asking this question then post back with their answer.

    Why does Xbox enforcement exist?

    They exist to help enforce the Terms of Service that Xbox Live Subscribers agree to adhere to. Those that continually violate the TOS are usually banned for a short period based on the offense but can be permanently banned for repeated offenses.

    Friend reports gamerpic as a "joke"

    There's really no way for us to know what the Enforcement Team will consider inappropriate. Follow the ToS for Xbox and Microsoft and you should be fine.

    My brother used glitches in minecraft, will I get banned?

    If you want the truth, according to the Xbox Live TOS You are responsible for your console and GamerTag. If your brother commits a Bannible offense using your GamerTag or 360 and is banned, there is nothing you can do to reinstate your account. Sorry
    but it's all in the TOS, your best option would be to secure your account with a passcode.

    What is considered to be "offensive language"?

    You can review the Community Standards here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/legal/community-standards

    They explain what is considered offensive language.

    As for your "jokes" during a chat with your friends: As long as your friends don't report you, you can say anything you want.

    In our group of friends we often cuss and swear, but we do that in our own private Party.

    In a public lobby we keep it more civil
