Fair is defined as not exhibiting any bias, and therefore being impartial. People cannot say button combos are unfair when it they are available for everyone to use. But someone can say that it makes the game not fun and a reason to stop playing.
I would also like to point out that Bungie has legitimized button combos. If you do not believe me watch the MLG (Major League Gaming) in which the best Halo 2 players in the world compete for cash prizes and guess what they all use button combos. Since the show airs on TV MLG had to get Bungies permission to show Halo 2 and they had to allow button combos. In my opinion they add depth to the game and if they did not exist I probably would not have started playing Halo 2 again recently.

When you do exploit glitches, it gives you an unfair advantage over non-glitchers, hence, the skill argument is not valid.
It is not an unfair advantage because everyone is capable of doing them but they take practice to do and therefore they can be considered a skill unlike modding and stand bying which do give you an unfair advantage.
Other than the fact that Modding in the context that i understand you, and stand by-ing are both Xbox related.
Modding for PC is quite different than modding an xbox. If someone has a mod for a PC game that works in multiplayer, the server has to be compatable with it, and everyone on the server has to have that mod.Thank you.
Oh, and I guess just because everybody's Xbox is connected to a modem, it's not unfair if people decide to stand-by by pressing the button on the modem. After all, anybody can do it!
Stand-bying is unfair because only the host is capable of doing it. If everyone could do it, the game would be fair but it would not be fun (at least in my opinion).

First off someone does not mod on the pc, they hack. In my experience, at least from playing counter strike, when I am playing a game with a hacker the server and the rest of the people playing do not have to have the same hacks running for someone’s hack to work.

ll every one can modd so i guess thats fair right?
NO it does not require any skill to use mods. Skill is defined as something that requires training and experience to do well. Button combos take hours of practice to use effectively while playing in a competitive situation (training and experience).
So your point is, that if by some chance, a pro MLG player cheated on a match, the judges overlooked it, and he got away with it, does that mean cheating is now legal? Just because someone has a bigger title than someone else (ex: an NBA star > college basketball star), does not mean whatever they do is always the right thing.
And besides, MLG is an insult to sports everywhere. They actually made gaming a sport, so fat, lazy retards who still gets their 67 year old moms to wipe their ass for them after #2, can participate in a "non-physical sport".
