M$oft punishes cheaters!

• Resetting the entire Gamerscore for an account to zero
• The account will be unable to regain all previously obtained achievements and Gamerscore, however, the players will have the ability to gain future Achievements by earning them fairly, like the majority of the Xbox LIVE community does.
• The account will be clearly labeled as a cheater for the community to view on xbox.com. You can see an example here. In dash, the personal view of the gamercard will be labeled as well.

So removing a number beside your name is going to stop you from cheating?

Obviously it wont stop them from cheating, its MS's way of payback. I mean if you had a 100k GS, and it just got erased like that, im sure you would be pretty damn pissed.

From the Q&A

I’ve had my gamerscore corrected, is there any way to appeal the decision?
There is no way to appeal a gamerscore correction. We only correct gamerscores for players who meet the criteria 100%. Your best choice is to show the community you won’t do it again.

its like having my post count reset to 0, oh noes microsoft you have made me quit teh internets

[downphoenix]

Is this referring to cheating online, or in general (like using action replay and such)?

Intresting... well if its done right it can be good, however I think an appeal process should be allowed, there is always a chance that its a wrongful deductions of GS.

So what do they consider as cheating, is using some glitches in Gears considered cheating ?
