I noticed while reading this thread that one of our former mods is no longer a mod for some unannounced reason. I was wondering what happened?

I heard from a source on IRC that:
[2016,24]<James>Someone called microsoft and said they were him and asked for his password
[2016,26]<James>or soemthing
[2016,30]<James>And microsoft just gave it away
[2016,36]<James>Without verifying who he was


Is this turn of events truly factual, or are they falsified? I would like to inquire further about these dire times.

I have a feeling bungie would have noticed if a mods account got hacked, they can see the activity of any mod and if someone wasn't acting normally they'd know... In conclusion don't worry.

I'm a serious dude, so what?

seems i saw a post in the H3 forum a few days ago where a member had a similar thing happen to him. someone just called up MS and got his account info. the kid even had that "r" armor. Bungie needs to get on Microsoft, its no good if MS is hemorrhaging out people's personal information.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

This "James" character doesn't sound too reliable...

Oh God let's hope not. I don't want to go through another mod account being hacked.

Halo3Planet, the place for all things Halo 3..

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

If Ash really did step down, I'm somewhat sad. He was a good mod, and the lack of one will be a whole section of spam that shall build up.

Does that mean there's an open mod spot?

If bungie wants to make someone a mod then they will.

I dunno, Pink. I've talked to James before and I've known him for quite a while now.

I can't think of the last time he's ever lied to me... if ever, that is.

  • 02.17.2008 8:48 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Someone asked XBL for ash55's password, and they gave it to him. Ash has lost his GT and his B.Net account was pre-emptively ultrabanned. Achronos will mod a new account sometime soon, like Pezz.

I hope this post was very helpful and informative, and sorry if it's incorrect I couldn't find any existing articles to link to. I'm sure it's not really XBL's fault that they gave away his password with no proof that it was him, Microsoft is a fine company with stringent standards and I'm sure this is an isolated incident.

I fully support you, but I am obligated to inform you that by asking for a moderator position, you disqualified yourself. Sorry. Actually, that's not explicitly stated anywhere in that article, but it's still true.

He's a scoundrel and a thief. You can't trust him as far as you can throw him.

Elmicker?

If you say it's elmicker, I'll beat you with a frigging stick, I swear.

On topic: Go Microsoft! With this kind of top notch security, I can see why your products are always rated #1 when it comes to keeping things safe.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

XBL accounts being stolen happens all the time. Microsoft is useless because the customer support is full of Middle Eastern people who barely know English and can be easily tricked into giving out personal information.

Now that's just racist.

How is it racist? Xbox live customer support is extremely frustrating. It's not my fault it's cheaper to outsource.

I have to agree that Live support can be frustrating but with every experience I've had with them has been with a very Fluent english speaking person.

I was joking because you said Middle East. ;-)

Really, though, everyone I've ever talked to has been fluent, if perhaps not competent.
