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] Terror Troll [quote]The XBL ToU clearly talks about "unauthorized repairs, unauthorized upgrades, and unauthorized downloads" not being permitted. In addition, you must not "exploit a bug, or make an unauthorized modification, to any software or data to gain unfair advantage in a game, contest, or promotion."[/quote]That has nothing to do with whether modification is 'authorised' or not, that is to do with what sorts of consoles you can use to access xbl/how you should conduct yourself when using the service. You aren't discerning between 'codes of conduct' for use of services, and actual 'modification' as a standalone activity.[/quote]All that I am saying is the "unauthorized modifications" that they are referring to in the XBL ToU are the exact same "unauthorized modifications" that are not permitted to be discussed on the forums.
