Players may encounter an on-screen message indicating that "Your gamertag is temporarily banned from this feature" in multiplayer, Auction House, etc. The in-game Message Center will show the length of the ban and direct the user to Forzamotorsport.net. The purpose of the message is to remind players of the Code of Conduct and Terms of Use for both Forza and Xbox Live.
A basic rule of thumb is an E for Everyone tone; common ban reasons include intentional wrecking in multiplayer lobbies and inappropriate designs (profanity, drugs, sexual themes including 'Free Candy' etc). Repeat offenses may result in a permanent ban.
- Obtaining cars prior to their release date is a minimum 30 day suspension.
- Obtaining Owen's McLaren is a permanent suspension.
- Using unauthorized modification tools to obtain large amounts/maximum credits, scoring, and/or wheelspins will result in a permanent suspension.
- Accessing a device that has been banned for the above will also result in the inability to play on said device.
When submitting a ticket or replying to a request for additional information, do not abuse or threaten Microsoft employees or post profane, bigoted, or otherwise provocative content.
Disregard for these rules may result in the closure of your Case Review. Especially egregious violations may result in additional Xbox Live enforcement action.
