Good Morning Everyone

I have just order myself as a birthday present the new Xbox slim for upstairs as my PS3 is downstairs on the bigger TV,e

Well I like to get involved in the forum community before my Xbox turns up like I did with my PS3.

I must say I was quite shocked to see a whole forum section dedicated to Bans and Suspension, Are there really that many people cheating or hardware modding .

Regards

Yep, XBOX is easy to mod, even a chimp could do it. So there's no wonder there are tons of ban threads that claim they "didn't do nothing" xD

As Shane said yeah there is. Be warned too their official forums are a lot more strict than here too.

[shanethegooner]

Indeed. Very strict, as I've found out.

"You have been banned from posting on the forums until 04/03/2160 8:21 AM"

My son had Halo Reach for Christmas and a couple of times he has been banned for 15 minutes for quiting a game.

I've been on the official Xbox forum a couple of times and it seems like the mods are immature idiots. A couple of times I've been on there to ask for help on things and had comments like "Ha Ha, Thread Locked".

halo reach bans players for fifteen minutes if you quit too many games in a certain time frame,then if you continue to keep quiting the ban is lengthened,its to stop sore losers/rage quitters from ruining the game.

Same as Uncharted 2 with Cash/Time penalties... Should be a feature in all FPS games.

I actually like that idea. I'd like to see it implemented on the PS3 for BFBC2 and FIFA11.

They couldn't do it for Call Of Duty because you can never finish a game anyway

The mods over on the Xbox forums (and the mods on XBL too) seem to have, to a certain extent, their own personal agendas. A lot of the time, someone will get a temp ban from XBL because a mod they met in a game just plain didn't like them.
