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]which is a list of specific rules. [/quote]Specificity is exactly what is trying to be avoided with the updated rules. Plus, that doesn't say anything about PS3 or iPhone modifications, among others, unlike the current rule, which covers all platforms.
