When signing up for Xbox Live for the first time, one of the optional areas is to place where you live. Strangely enough Xbox Live does not have a drop down menu for this area, but rather lets users place any text they want in. This in turn allows people to create made-up fictional locations, or in one user’s case, a real location, but little known to those outside of West Virginia.
Josh Moore of Fort Gay, WV was suspended from Xbox Live for stating his official location on his profile, Fort Gay. Someone had reported the content as offensive, and he was suspended. When Moore contacted Xbox Live about the suspension, they told him the location would either have to be removed, or he will have a permanent suspension, and no refund of the two years of Xbox Live he already purchased.
