Microsoft: 'The Pro' Xbox Live moderator 'followed protocol'
Microsoft's Major Nelson quickly made note of the production on his Twitter account, and passed the video off to Stephen Toulouse, director of Xbox Live policy and enforcement, who tweeted several comments of his own. Toulouse noted that The Pro was "policing" Modern Warfare 2 modding, which can result in an Xbox Live Gold account suspension (banning a user from online play) or a complete console ban (rendering Xbox Live inaccessible). >> read more
In a statement to Joystiq, Toulouse said, "The player behavior in question and subsequent interaction with the moderator violated the Xbox Live Terms of Use and Code of Conduct. The Xbox Live moderator followed protocol and, while he regrets his tone, the video was heavily edited to omit the inappropriate behavior and we fully support the moderator's decision to take action against the offending players."
It should be noted that iTzLuPo, the YouTube user who originally uploaded the video, admits that he is a modder in his user bio, stating, "I am now part of one of the best Glitching/modding clans there is on Xbox LIVE." He also lists "Glitching/Modding/tutorials" as so-called hobbies. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/22/microsoft-the-pro-xbox-live-moderator-followed-protocol/#comments

All those retarded kids are obviously completely unaware of any of the rules explained in the TOS. The Pro is doing what any respectable person would love to do...cleaning up the trash that's scattered all over Live. Good for him. Please, if this problem offends you, go find him and talk shit or do whatever it takes to get banned...because you are part of the problem.

I do agree that The Pro abused his power, but honestly, that kid was asking for it. It's not he he was just minding his own business and randomly got banned.

Moderaters can ban people.... The use there power at there own will. On the other hand. Hackers can ban to. If a moderator is to ban any1 it should be a hacker that bans and lags players offline, Ip crushes. The works. He banned innocent punks and should be removed from xbox staff
