Xbox employees abusing their power?

From a few people on the Xbox.com forums a story came about being banned by a mysterious person on xbox live for nothing at all. Here is the whole story:

"I'm sorry but I can't let the story go untold. I think the community has a right to know that they are at risk. I'm not asking for your comments, I'm not asking for your opinions, I just want this to reach someone who can actually do something. I know you can't just press a BAN button and make the guy dissapear, but I definately want the issue recognized and I can't do that without the forums.

Now, for the uninformed, here is the story.

If things are not being explained enough with the bullets, here we go.

Me, Red 001, and SPARTAN 121 were playing together in Shadowrun. We were RNA on Power Plant. We were proceeding the game like normal ( the only thing that wasn't normal was us getting OWNED. Stick out tongue [] ). I think it was around 4 - 0 Lineage when I teleport down and the "guy" ( I will call him "guy" due to his massive amount of gamertags ) accidentally friendly fires upon me.

I jokingly tell him to calm down. Out of nowhere he says, " SHUT THE *** UP -LAST NAME- OR I'LL BAN YOU FROM THE SERVERS. " I tell him to seriously calm down, and it was just a joke. He proceeds to cuss me out as well as my friends ( SPARTAN and Red. ) I never cussed once in the game, I don't even cuss on Xbox Live period. The worst thing I said to this guy was, " Dude, did you have a bad day or something? "

After the cussing spree ( achievement unlocked! ) from the "guy" Red 001 votes to boot him from the match. We all boot him due to the anger he seemed to have. We continued to get owned, and then Red 001 drops out. I figure his Xbox froze and continue playing. No more than 3 minutes later I get a message from Red saying, " DUDE I WAS BANNED. " I am shocked. I tell SPARTAN and continue to play.

Minutes later, I am banned from Xbox Live.

I post on the forums. The "guy" changes his gamertag. Red gets unbanned. I get unbanned. Once we figure out his new gamertag, he changes it again.."

I really hope this gets sorted out, these kind of people should not have access to our personal info and should not be banning unfairly.

These douche mods. I posted k2valor’s problem AGAIN(after they deleted HIS ORIGINAL thread of the problem) then they deleted MY THREAD, and banned my account for SPAM… So they think K2’s problem is SPAM…douches.

They deleted the last thread about this topic, I don't think many people saw the link to this blog to continue the convo here, but I don't want to make a tread to link it for fear of being banned...
