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".

  • I think you showing off your cool Xbox paint-job isn't going to get you banned. Use our head, silly.

  • To be fair the rule isn't really vague. Don't make threads discussing modding or modded consoles. [Edited on 01.25.2011 11:58 AM PST]

  • Well modding the Xbox and not being signed up to Xbox LIVE is perfectly fine and doesn't get you banned.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ArchAssain [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] coolmike699 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HeyBlade789 To stop people discussing modded xbox's.[/quote] OK. But plenty of mods are perfectly fine. If I spray painted a design onto the faceplate, that's a modification. [/quote] If you leave a law open you have the chance to over inturperate it and obey it in any way you think plausible. Its common sense you can mod a xbox design. That is not what this rule of bungie is saying. They promote cool stuff like that especially if it is Bungie based arts. Simply You are not allowed to promote, talk of or question anything to do with cheating, game play modification or hacking. Keep it out of your topics and post. That is all they are asking. Make your own website if you want to be found guilty of Hacking, stealing and or cheating. [/quote] Thats too deep, that rule is clear enough, any unaouthorized modding isn;t allowed. If they had to insert 'But its ok for asthetic reason's like painting stuff' it doesn't have the same ring to it, its nice and clear

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HANTER 03 Microsoft has not nor will it ever say that you cant draw on your own system. [/quote]Microsoft also [i]cannot[/i] say that you cannot install modchips with the potential to break copyright restrictions - it has no right to do so. In fact, there's really not much that can be described as "unauthorised"; almost all rights lie with the end user, with the notable exception of software, and even that can be torn to shreds in the name of academia. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SonicJohn I believe that ANY console modification, technical or aesthetical, are not allowed to be discussed, since they technically fall under the "unauthorized" part of that rule.[/quote]Same thing here. No such thing as unauthorised. You have the right to do whatever you choose with your hardware, and pretty much the right to do whatever you want with the software you use. As long as "you" means "you" of course, and not "you and whoever is going to read the guide you wrote" or "you and your mates who you're charging £20 a pop". [Edited on 01.25.2011 11:54 AM PST]

  • Notice the key word here. "Do not discuss "[b]unauthorized[/b]" modification of console game hardware or software, even if you're not trying to cheat or pirate." Microsoft has not nor will it ever say that you cant draw on your own system.
