Softmod and Xbox Live Will I get banned from Live?

Xbox Media Center Installation FAQ - ProductWiki, unbiased p...
You can play on Live with a modded Xbox, but you have to be extremely careful not to trigger one of Microsoft's bans. As soon as you've gone on Live, Microsoft records two numbers, your EEPROM id and your Hard drive serial number. If any of those change afterwards, they'll know you've modded your Xbox and ban you good. Therefore, if you're planning on upgrading your hard drive, then don't go on Live until after you've performed the mod.

Q What kinds of things is the Xbox Live Team suspending people's accounts for?

Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 2 Stats Info : Halo 2 Chea...
A A good rule of thumb is to follow the Xbox Live Code of Conduct . The code of conduct is a list of do's and dont's for the Xbox Live community and gives you a good idea of what is acceptable on the service. Please keep in mind that it's not just cheaters getting banned from Xbox Live - people who spew racial slurs, shout profanity, threaten other players and generally create an unpleasant environment on Live are all subject to potential bans.

Q How much evidence and data does Xbox Live have to support a ban or suspension?

Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 2 Stats Info : Halo 2 Chea...
A It's important to point out that just one piece of negative feedback from that ticked off person you just pwned on Lockout won't get you banned from Live. While I won't say how much feedback it takes to get banned, remember that the Xbox Live in-game feedback system has been successfully used for over 2 years across hundreds of titles. Using a variety of tools and reports we are able to confidently stand behind the actions we take to create a stronger Live community.

Q What is NOT considered a bannable offense by Bungie?

Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 2 Stats Info : Halo 2 Chea...
A Quitting a game is not a bannable offense. Having a team-killer on your team sucks, but that's not a bannable offense either. Many people are also aware of the "super jumping" phenomenon that allows players on some maps to jump to extreme heights. We are monitoring this situation for long term impacts to game balance but we are not banning people who do this simply because it's too widespread and is something that's basically built into the map.

Q How does the Bungie "Banhammer" actually work?

Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 2 Stats Info : Halo 2 Chea...
A Our banning tools are complex and secret but initially we spend time scouring gameplay data for indications that someone has cheated. Once we have adequate proof, our team reviews these players and then enters them into our "Banhammer" tool. Once a player is listed in our ban list, he or she will be unable to play Halo 2 matchmaking on Xbox Live. In general, a first-time offense will result in a 7 day ban from matchmaking.

I've been banned! What do I do?

Planet Duke Forums
If you really, honestly believe you've been banned in error or wrongfully, give Eclipse a shout and he may see grounds to unban you if you can provide reasons for doing what you did. Again, if you go around posting utter rubbish and excessively bitching about PlanetDuke, Duke Nukem sucking, DNF being late, defamatory posts about 3D Realms, nasty stuff about any of PlanetDuke's staff or forumers or GameSpy, we'll take a very dim view of you.

Well that depends, Probably it's because you've violated one or more provisions of the (Registration Agreement / Terms of Service), or it may be that the ban is temporary because the moderator feels you need to cool off. Try contacting the moderator who banned you directly. You could also email sitehelp@stltoday.com but they're just going to have to contact the moderator on your behalf so it's in your best interest to hunt up the moderator yourself.
