REDMOND, WASHINGTON — Online Xbox gamers who curse run risk of a ban, according to new rules from the Microsoft-owned service.

Discovered by blog Professional Troublemaker, new Terms of Service says use of offensive lingo could see you banned, or even the loss of your account. Publicly showing, or sharing inappropriate content or material via Xbox or another Microsoft service could have them look at your stuff.

Microsoft say they can also "review your content" should you violate the terms of service. These services including everything from Outlook, Office and Word to Skype.
