Sorry for not editing the text on this post. I meant to take all that crap out from the top.

The point is, MS is cracking down on cheaters by resetting their gamerscore, making it impossible for that gamertag to earn those achievements again (even legitimately), and marking their gamertag with a "cheater" icon.

OUCH! But that goes to show, If you F' with the system, you will get Owned.

When I "Cheat" as most online says, I do it with in the games parameters. But Utilizing outside programs to hack the game, is un-ethical on so many levels to even be called a "Gamer"

A scarlet letter is a good start, but even funnier having there avatar being Humiliated by throwing Rotten Games at them in the XBox Live Market.

Oh yeah? I'm TWO HUNDRED PERCENT in favor of this.

Seriously, though - awesome. That's why I like Live. The gamerscore and your name have value to players, and it gives MS a way to exert pressure on people to not f**k things up for everyone else.

Me thinks I forsee some broken controllers and busted systems over this one, cheaters tend to behave badly when the lose and something like this would be an epic lose for them (te he, te he).
