why would you want to play with a hack online?- if they catch you then you get your console banned.

This is why the BANNING began in the first place with XB1.  They found that people were cheating, BECAUSE they had modded consoles, thus allowing TRAINERS or other cheats to be on (modded game saves), and them cheating.  THOSE losers (which is why they need to cheat in the first place, because they SUCK and LOSE) are the main cause for the initiation of M$ banning consoles.  They had no real clue or too much of a care that people were MODDING consoles to play pirated games, but what they DID NOT LIKE was the a$$hole cheaters that made Live! a joke, and it was all with HALO.   That's why HALO II was the next mass ban wave, that I said was coming WITH HALO II, that no one believed, and got me kicked off xbox Scene for saying it (ha ha, you assholes, I was right). Really, it was THE CHEATING is what started it all, not too much the piracy, the CHEATERS did.

NOW, with XB360, they are preemptively banning just for having it, because the game can be modified to allow them to cheat as well (files on the disc, usually an .ini file). So, they are banning consoles that are detected to me sure people don't cheat and make it shitty for live play all over again.

So yes, the cheaters are scum-bags, and the reason and cause of the console ban hammer.

Ah Powerslave, still the "jerk-mod" of the forum, nice to see the forum hasn't changed too much since my leaving.  Now watch as all the idiots start flaming for calling all the cheaters assholes, get banned, then complain that you didn't warn them.

You may want to check other posts, where I said nothing, and the language was quite worse...  People don't like cheaters, that's been proved.  There are two references with assholes as well, the administration at xbox-Scene that MANY years ago, and Cheaters, which is on-going.  Cheaters are assholes, they ruin it for everyone.

Well, you must be one of the cheaters then, to take it so personally, and call me "jerk-mod", when it's "jerk-Administrator", so at least get THAT right.  I never had a problem with you, till now.   If you are going to attack me like that, then you can be banned for attacking the administration in the open forum.  You're not a moderator anymore, you seemed fine till that happened, so you seem disgruntled.  Oh well, happens to the best of us...

Saying cheaters are assholes, is a generalization, and not aimed at any specific person, only cheats, they know who they are, I don't have to name them.  Your statement was directed right at me, so you're no longer a person I will favor.

Eh, Powerslave, I don't think you understood what I was getting at.  Back when you first become an administrator here that's what the users used to call you, which I am mocking as opposed to calling you that (hence the quotes).  I also agreed that cheating is stupid, I never said that I advocate it, agree with using them, nor that I use it myself.  If you look far back enough when I was a moderator, I was one of the only ones that not only sided with you, but also defended you when idiots started mouthing off, including some staff.  I don't know why you're so hesitant to attack

tension

I didn't see any mockery, I thought you were taking shots at me, and could not figure out why...

With Halo II, that could not have been here, that would have been Halo III. Halo II was before the 360 came out, and I was on Xbox-Scene, and told them that people were being banned because of a Halo II update.  They told me, I was spreading false information, to STOP, and gave no warnings, and banned me instantly.  Well, I was right, as it turned out.  I know when these things are coming, and I warn people. 

Ok, so Halo III, that was here...  Oh, wait, you mean BANNED from live?  I thought you meant BANNED from the BBS, like I banned them like they were not warned for flaming me, and I banned them...  I did not get what you were saying at all, nope... 

Yeah, I didn't see what you were getting at, at all...  Ok, sorry, my bad...
