Haven't we already been through this?

From the new rules: [quote]Do not discuss unauthorized modification of console game hardware or software, even if you're not trying to cheat or pirate.[/quote] In my philosophy of law class yesterday, we discussed why exactly laws are so complicated. Everyone interprets them differently, and their meanings change over time. But why does this rule have to be so vague? What's the goal of the rule? To prevent people using Bungie.net to find out how to cheat? To prevent people from using this site to find out how to mod their 360? To stop all discussion on modifications? If it's to prevent cheating, why not just combing this rule with the rule about cheating? "Detailing methods of cheating, including console modifications is not allowed".

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dmbfan09 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ArchAssain - [b]You are prohibited from discussing any[/b] modification of console game hardware or software, even if you're not trying to cheat or pirate.[/quote]People may discuss putting stickers on their Xbox cases, that is not an unauthorized modification.[/quote]So wait, according to the XBL TOU you referenced, in section 12 it states... [quote]Any attempt to disassemble, decompile, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, [b]modify[/b], further sublicense, distribute, or use for other purposes the Service, any game, application, or other content available or accessible through the Service, or any hardware or software associated with the Service or with an original Xbox or Xbox 360 console is strictly prohibited...[/quote]So, according to you, the TOU states what's prohibited. Yet also according to you, making an aesthetic modification is not unauthorized? Yet your own source says "Any attempt to...modify..." So..wait, am I mistaken or am I experiencing another situation in which a mod is talking in circles? I'm confused. It's unauthorized but it's not unauthorized even though my source says it's unauthorized and even though you say it's not unauthorized it's a bannable offense to even talk about aesthetic modifications? My god, I'm confused as hell. Is talking about any of these modifications against the rules in bungie? Yes or no? If no, get rid of the friggen rule. If Yes, then change the rule to "Any discussion of modifications is prohibited." Dear lord, is it that hard? [Edited on 01.26.2011 6:38 PM PST]
