If anyone wants to see the uncut video of it, he really did deserve the ban. Here's the link to the uncut video recorded by another user in the room when it all went down. Warning: NSFW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU0qWhJd2Wc

I love that you say that like it would be a bad thing. I'd love it if everyone that used the word "noob" was banned from the internet. It'd make it such a nice place.lonercs said:
Remember, the internet, X Box Live, PSN, Steam, these are all priviledges, not rights. If you can't prove that you are capable of acting responsibly and by the rules the service providers set down, it should (and in a perfect world, it would without fail) be taken from you.
My experience and observations of mods in forums and the like has been that they tend to get on a bit of a power trip, even if it is only minor but usually they go way to OTT just to prove a point that they can do pretty much what ever they want. There position of authority and insider knowledge pretty much allows them to bend the TOS in their favor so they always win by default which is pretty much summed up by the guy saying he will "make it his mission" to "ban every console he's ever used" and he is more then prepared to do it.
Though i agree that the obvious editing of this video has done nothing more then serve to condemn the guy claiming to be the 'victim' of corruption by tampering with the only evidence himself which is just a little ironic and suggests he probably was in some kind of wrong and deserved reprimanding. But should one Mod be able to outright permanently ban on his own right there and then? i think that it should of been the policy for the Mod to record the game as soon as he realized it was going down that path or get another Mod involved so it becomes less of a personal act of some kind of vengeance and more about professionals unbiasedly removing a abusive player.
Still i don't plan on acting like an immature cretin and i'm not stupid enough to pick a fight with a Mod so none of this will effect me and therefore i will file this one under "meh"

What a shame. we trust these people to keep the scum of the internet behind bars. i hang my head in shame for you.
Love Valve...'s games, the studio, eh... but totally in agreement about the edited video dismissing his claim.Insanum said:
No joke, eh?Ultrajoe said:
The kid was a dick, and The Pro didn't stand for it anymore.
Maybe he should have held his tongue, but don't wag 'professionalism' in my face if someone is acting like a dick. The one kid was talking about raping The Pro's grandmother and killing his mother, and people complain about professionalism?
Screw that. Ban that kid.
Darn I was expecting to see some real abuse of power, not someone with a badge unafraid to throw it around in an incident that was never disclosed.
In fact I just see someone trying to publicly retaliate for something done in private with NO EVIDENCE. The kid thinks he nailed the mod just because he was unpleasant about enforcing the laws. I've got bad news kid, Cops are worse if you piss them off, and crying about in court will just get the judge to laugh at you.

If you look above a few posts, I posed the unedited version from someone else that was in the game with them. It shows him going off on the pro and brought in personal insults to The Pro. IMO, The Pro acted better than most people would if personal things were brought up.Towels said:
So people who hack and cheat in multiplayer games should not be banned? The PS3 doesn't ban people? What about that one player back in July who tried to sue Sony for being banned from the PlayStation Network?lonercs said:
Moderators are a good thing to have. They ban the trash talkers and anyone else that breaks the rules.
Well there are some things to take note of.
First off the guy who posted the video is a self-proclaimed glitcher/modder. Not even one of those guys who does it to pirate games, he is one of those jackasses who fancies himself a "hacker" because he looked up how to mod his 360 on youtube.com, he thinks it makes him tech savvy and he brags about it in all of his other youtube videos.
Secondly the video is heavily edited, any idiot can see that. The person deserved the ban to say the least.
On the other hand.
The way The Pro conducted himself was unprofessional to say the least. I don't care what the other players said to him, he was acting like a child. He said he'd call someone's mother, he was threatening to ban people left and right. I have seen websites and forums in which moderators are allowed to act petty and childish with no repercussions, and it's not fun.

This video is brilliant. He explains how Microsoft is practically omniscient on Xbox Live, but ends the video by saying "there will be more mods soon MS can never stop meThePlasmatizer said:
". He says this after explaining how he will buy a new Xbox 360 and get a new Gold subscription. If his idea of fighting Microsoft is to buy more of their stuff, they probably don't want to stop him.
I think this is the actual video.... Unedited. Not positive, but they are talking about it on the youtube videos.
Oh... it's sorta explicit. Just letting you know.

Thanks for the link. I found The Pro's behavior rather refreshing. You continue to verbally harass, you get banned. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.njautobody said:
We should all consider this: He could have just went ahead and banned him without the trouble of a warning.
Watching this vid, the kids already breaking the age restriction on the game, which is a huge problem in gaming. Id love it if ms banned every underage user on M rated games.njautobody said:
The kid got what he deserved. Breaking the ToS and generally being a prick. For once i support a ms mod
If this were the case, I'd know a lot of people that would get banned.
Even I would get banned.
At least I don't curse and whine in chat, and talk about people's moms or grandmothers, or anything like that.

Honestly, it doesn't matter if he's been provoked by trash talking... his attitude would be completely unaccpetable in any other establishment (let alone his representing of MS). Why should anyone, least of all MS customers, have to put up with his threats, when they are the ones paying his salary?
