Policing online services is hard.
- Dylan16807 15y agoI like that site as far as the cheaters and things go. But I can't stop being bothered every time I see a ban for hacking the avatar to make it a weird color. Why is this so offensive to them?
- kabdib 15y agoThe color change is proof that the user has hacked the console. You're not allowed to use hacked consoles on Xbox Live. I don't know why people change colors on their avatars, either. It seems such a pointless thing to risk an account ban for. I can't speak for the arrogance. You can imagine dealing with customers who have, um, a flexible relationship with the concept of being honest.
- Dylan16807 15y agoBans should only happen for hacking multiplayer games. It's quite rude to kick out paying customers for screwing with anything else.
- DrJokepu 15y agoI don't know, I'm not really into gaming so I'm not familiar with the context, but most of the "mod" answers seem to be unnecessarily arrogant and condescending, not exactly professional. Are they Microsoft employees or community moderators? If the former, this is no way to treat customers (even if they're cheaters), if the latter, maybe they should enforce higher standards for moderator communications.
- scott_w 15y agoI'm not sure what you're referring to. In three pages I only saw one reply which could be construed as "unprofessional", where the moderator said "this is my favourite..." They all seem quite straight, to the point, and courteous. Well, as courteous as one can be when telling somebody they're not welcome in your community.
