Xbox One: MS banning users from Skype and Upload Studio for swearing
Polygon has collated a set of reports from various places, such as the Xbox forums and a Reddit thread suggesting that users were banned for uploading gameplay clips in which they use profanity, it is unclear what is considered profanity. The banned users are unable to use Upload Studio or upload any clips they captured.
Microsoft appears to have lifted the ban for one user on Reddit by the name of MakVolci, he said, ” Okay I got a hold of a Microsoft representative. They’ve told me that my standing is “good” and don’t see an issue with my account – I’m in ‘good standing’.” He later added, ” I hopped on Upload Studio about twenty minutes ago and tried it out. It is now working for me, and I was successfully able to upload my Kinect footage and DVR footage to both Xbox and SkyDrive. It appears as though the Upload Studio suspension is a 24 hour suspension, as I believe it was for me.”
One Twitter user is reporting that he’s not able to use Skype for swearing in a private call, and receiving the following message:
Users who have been banned for using profanity in their Upload Studio clips are also reportedly being banned from using Skype. Polygon has reached to Microsoft for a comment.

Cyimking MS should separate the kid community from the adult community. Because telling a 21 yo to stop swearing isn't going to work... Also how does MS finds out who swearing? Do someone have to report or ? ...

ok i get the temp ban thing for swearing in a uploaded clip because the age of the community but not the skype ban for swearing in a privite call. thats basicly taking away freedom of speech and its hurting no one. hope its figured out soon

It's upload studio, not Skype. Swearing on a video you're sharing to a community that includes kids shouldn't be allowed. The Skype thing is just a glitch.

Vat This would be stupid if you got banned due to it when your on an 18+ game.
True, but if you choose to share content then chances are someone of a younger age will see it.
By the sounds of it, MS need to adjust just who can see your uploads, the user needs better access to filters/tags i.e contains swearing/ bf4 explosion/ just dance with karaoke and so on you get the idea.

Are they serious? Banned for swearing... Swearing is all over the face of the earth.. Banning people from using things because someone said a 'naughty' is incredibly pathetic. New low, Xbox... new low.

I think this is stupid from Microsoft, they shouldn't be able to tell you what you can/can't do on skype.
Just something else, on that message MS got there grammar wrong :p Comma should be after "can't".
