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] ArchAssain 90% of the users here will think that something within the boundaries of the real world laws will take effect thus pushing them away from the whole topic of discussion here. [/quote]You're somewhat missing the point. If you have an understanding of "real world laws", then you fully understand that you have every right (you are authorised) to patch the software to give yourself an unlimited DRM automatic rocket launcher, with or without permission. While it should be noted that you obviously then can't connect to XBL with such a modification in place, we're then into the minefield of allowing one service's guidelines to define what you can do to your own product. That might work for xboxes and XBL, but shortly this site will be serving multi-platform games, and we've already got a sizeable portion of the community that talks about every other topic under the sun. Sometimes it ain't that clear cut. [Edited on 01.25.2011 1:12 PM PST]
