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 can't seem to understand why you can't read a rule, such as the one stated in the OP, and accept it for what it is. It is not vague, it is very simple and to the point. [quote]Do not discuss unauthorized modification of console game hardware or software, even if you're not trying to cheat or pirate.[/quote] I could let my 10 year old brother read this and he would understand it. Shall we break it down? "Do not discuss..." obviously states something that should be avoided in discussions on B.net. "...unauthorized modification of console game hardware or software..." means what is says. Microsoft doesn't want their materials tampered or modified, nor Bungie including the discussions based on the topic. And finally, "...even if you're not trying to cheat or pirate." simply means "No ifs, ands, or buts." So, "We do not want you talking about modifying or tampering with console game hardware or software. Period." is the idea and it is pretty clear.
