Why is it that you cant ban the ip address cause that would stop them for good because if all you do is ban the account they just get a new and continue to do it my brother was on earlier today and he played 4 games consecutively that were modded or standby games Posted by: menach
why dont they ban IP's rather then specific GT's. That would solve most of cheating.
IP addresses change all the time. It's very easy to get a new one. ISP's rely on DHCP and will commonly reassign and recycle IPs. So cheaters would eventually be unbanned, and some innocent person who got stuck with their IP would be banned. The only thing that would make sense is banning the Xbox's MAC address, and this can only be done by Microsoft.

just to point out that the modders that are still operating are now showing up on W-E cuz for some reason they don't think the scanners are in full force at that time. any truth to this rumor?
The "scanner" is the same as it's always been - 6 hours and you're banned. It's not fast or effective enough in my opinion. I believe MD5 hash checking upon signin is the way to be.

this isnt the place to ask this but ok...
THIS RULE IS SET IN STONE....
If at anytime you log on to xboxlive with a modded dashboard you will be banned from matchmaking withing 6 hours or the second you sign off of xbox live, which ever one comes first... so lets say you signed on at noon and started modding at 6 o clock a message will pop up and say ur banned hahaha u stupid hacker <-- not really but thats wut i get from it
and it will sign u off... and from then on when ever u try and play matchmaking it will log u off and tell u that... so yea... just dont mod and you wolnt get baned... simple enouf right?
No, you're wrong. Modded files such as dashboards or anything not interfering with or relating to Halo 2 are not picked up by the Bungie banhammer. In fact, they aren't even picked up by the Xbox Live banhammer. The only thing XBL bans for is for a modded BIOS or hardware - you get instantly banned when signing onto Live. No 6 hours, nothing. Your HDDkey and EEPROM are banned, meaning the Xbox can't ever go on Live again (not entirely true, but I'm not elaborating).

does sending live footage of modding get the people banned instantly? My xbox has an ATI wonder capture card, so i can send vids of modders to you guys. Will that help?
No. h2cheats seems to be completely unmonitored and basically not worth your time. They ae slower than the 6 hour auto-ban at the very least. People have submitted video evidence over and over again to no avail. Bungie tells you to email them, but I doubt it's even monitored any more. Which is rediculous, because you are supposed to use it to appeal bans that were given unfairly (yes it does happen). Oh, and for clarification, your Xbox does not "have an ATi card," but rather your ATi capture card has an Xbox's video feed attached to it.
I hope my post clarified some things for all you guys.
