According to Microsoft's Major Nelson, they banned a bunch of people who illegally modded and pirated games on XBL.
Xbox 360 Console banning - Xbox Lives Major Nelson
I haven't been on XBL today, so I don't know if I'm banned or not. I'd like to thank those of you dumb enough to send me a msg on XBL calling me a modder or hacker though. That's very cool. :pity:

lol, people sent you messages that said that.

Not joking... VIA XBL!Sethdaddy8 likes this. -

Did you send them messages back saying you had no idea what they were talking about or who they were?
-
< Boots up his 360 to ask Mor if the latest Microsoft Banhammer got him and if not how the hell did he avoid it? Since he never pays for games?
-
-
If I'm banned, I'll have a new 360's guts swapped out and modded before the weekend is up.

Edit- How are they detecting the mods? -
usually they ban in waves... Meaning, they spent the last 5 months compiling a list, then ban all of the people on said list. Then they forget about it for a while.
-
Gotcha, are you still on your first 360? I know you got banned at one point but didnt they let you back in?
-
They didn't let me back in, I swapped my 360 and remodded it. That was almost 2 years ago... Actually, it was when Crackdown was released. When was that?

And you haven't receiving your *** whooping in NCAA lately.. -

i asked you about here, but never on XBL.
Maybe those people wouldn't have asked if you didn't send them invites to play Gears 2 three weeks before it was released!
I was wondering if the new NXE was gonna have something to detect nodded machines or flashed drives.

I was looking into it to mod mine myself and came across a certain website that I'm sure you frequent. They had people already downloading and installing some versions of NXE. I browsed their forums but nobody knew for sure what the new update will/or might catch. So I put off my plans to do mine until after the update to see how it affected modeets. Looks like I might have made a lucky decision to proceastinate for once.

I am married after all so I know I can get things right at least 1 out of 100 times I try. -
From doing a little research, I think the bans are happening to people who play games on LIVE that "haven't been officially released". This is an early observation and I could be wrong but that seems to be the word.
-
i wonder if I'm on that list.....
LOL -
-
well... Guys like me that play review versions of the game early... ONLINE LOL. I'm sure I'm a dead man.
