> Previously I stated that you could get automatically banned even if you didn't share the screenshots publicly, but it's unclear whether or not that is the case as I've been given conflicting reports.

Regardless, Microsoft seems to be going the way of increased censorship. Recent laws passed in congress implicate websites which have illegal user-submitted content. As a result, we've seen the depreciation of Craigslist personals and certain YouTube gun videos. Such legislation may pave the way for tighter control within the gaming industry.


*Deprecation, and you meant "shutdown" in any case.


Yikes! You're right, thanks for catching that. For some reason, I can't edit my comment anymore (maybe too late), otherwise I'd fix it.
