To be honest, I reckon we need more of these guys around. Taking that police example up; we don't get people stealing left right centre because of the fact that a simple call to the local station will get ten policemen on your ass. I'm not a great fan of the whole 'hide in darkness, private message a warning then ban' because others don't know why the guy is gone (speaking from an online PC game POV, I don't have an Xbox and don't plan to any time soon). At least with a public 'stop' then others will realize that 'hey, maybe talking profanities really isn't a good idea.'
I agree with this guy. For all I know XBL has enough of 12-year-old kids talking trash. If someone bans a few it's the right thing.
The unedited version clearly tells what was going on and the fact that the idiot made a edited version to make The Pro look worse just makes the video maker look stupid and childish. Clearly he was just upset because of the ban and because he didn't get his afternoon nap.
ThePro (the moderator) was in this room because it was a modded 10th prestige room. I have no idea how (I assume it has to do with modding a console) but while playing you can basically 10th prestige in one sitting. While in the room some little kid absolutely goes berserk on the ThePro (the Xbox moderator) and the Pro responds. He then begins suspending the players in the room because he confirmed they are modding their consoles and being extremely aggressive towards him.
The poster of the video (not on escapist but youtube) edited the video he took and made it look like the Pro was the one at fault and not the people doing the illegal actions in a modern warfare 2 multiplayer match. He uploaded the video thinking that the internet would be on his side but he forgot that the internet isn't as dumb as he is (most) and were able to spot a heavily edited video. He has since cowered in his mothers basement only coming out to shower and have some of his mother's home cooked meals.
And for the dude who said the pro was a dick...you are obviously part of the group of the internet who the poster of the video was looking to fool. Congrats.
YES!
I agree, people like the kid that got banned are what RUIN my xbox live experience. They deserve the slapping they get from moderators. I don't even think that the tone The Pro used was bad.
Apparently, none of ya'll read Penny Arcade:

On another note...

I JUST LEARN THAT A "CONSOLE BAN" WILL MAKE YOUR CONSOLE UNUSABLE! THAT YOU CAN NOT INSTALL GAMES TO THE HARDDRIVE OR GO ONLINE EVER AGAIN! THIS IS A HUGE RIP OFF! THE PRICE FOR THE XBOX 360 ELITE IS $299.99! THE FACT THAT YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CONSOLE TAKING ABOUT AND YOU BE OUT FOR OVER $300 IS UNACCEPTABLE! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DID, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY CRUEL PUNISHMENT! THIS SOUNDS CRIMINAL! NO ONE SHOULD LOSE THAT MUCH MONEY! OVER WHAT, MODS, CHEATING, OR "MISBEHAVING"? THEY ARE NOT CRIMES THAT SHOULD COST YOU ANY MONEY, LET ALONE $300+! IF YOU DISAGREE, YOU ARE WRONG!
Did anyone else enjoy the irony of lonercs posting in all red caps about how Mods suck and blablabla and then he gets suspended for it? I mean, I understand WHY and I'm grateful to the Escapist for enforcing the rules. That's not what I'm trying to point out at all.
I just found it... delicious. Thank you, Escapist.
Interesting Fact: Valve was founded by Microsoft employees!
OT: Eh, as you said; his comments were out of line, frankly I think whatever he did probably deserved some form of banning. Most MS mods are well picked.
YES!

I don't have a definite link, but at the end of Itzlupo's newest video he does allude to taking legal action and going to Fox News.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWDDLQWJwms
It really is too funny watching this video, the idiot can't understand why all his different Itzlupo aliases have been banned until 31/12/9999, despite the fact that he's now a notorious modder who has started a public war with Microsoft, who simply don't want him on their system, no matter what alias he uses.
He's also publically made an implied threat against The Pro on his Youtube channel:
Itzlupo's Youtube channel said:
iTzLuPo MODDING IS BACK BABY! f the pro and all his fanboys who think i edited the video and BTW PRO IF YOU SEE THIS I HAVE YOUR NUMBER AND YOUR ADDRESS does the zip code 98045 ring a bell
Is it any wonder why Microsoft don't want to allow him, the person not just one Gamertag, access to Live and are banning every Itzlupo alias he makes? Does he think Microsoft can't access Youtube and can't see every public threat and admissions to TOS violations he makes?
Really this guy is so dumb and clueless it's funny. He's like Osama Bin Laden committing another attack on US soil, then releasing a video claiming responsibility under the name Osama Tim Laden, and then trying to enter America under the name Osama Jim Laden and being surprised when he gets arrested at the airport:
[small]"You can't arrest me, it's illegal! It was Osama Bin Laden and Osama Tim Laden who attacked America, Osama Jim Laden hasn't done anything wrong!"[/small]
I'm usually indifferent about court cases when big corporations oppress the little guys, but I really hope he takes it to court and gets owned by Microsoft's crack team of Commando-Lawyers.
Even if he has a brainwave and realises that a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft, by a group of banned hackers, isn't the cleverest thing in the world, I've also read a rumour somewhere that Microsoft are going to pursue legal action against him for defamation.
