Hmmmm.....yes, the law is the law that's why these still stand

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter

6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen

8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

Wow!! Can you quote legal sources for these, as I suspect most of those are b*llocks. Liverpool City Council refute #3, Cromwell's Mince Pies thing was overturned in 1690, #2 is populist nonsense as far as I can find.

I've never been into these games,closest I got was Star Wars on my old Sinclair Spectrum+2....However I just went onto some of the forums & it's staggering the amount of people on there blaming their friends & pleading ignorance. (tinker15,I'm not having a pop at your son or your good self here btw)
I mean you buy a patch or whatever it is called & install it,this gives you an advantage over other players,so how thick are these players pleading ignorance..If I bought a DVD from a bloke in a market with a dodgy haircut,chances are you know it's an illegal copy,same with these patches.If they were legal,they'd have a license agreement on them.

Yep I agree 100%.

I have a prepayment meter for electric and received a letter the other day from EDF warning me that there have been numerous people charging up their keys from strangers turning up on their door step and offering to put say £50 on the key for £25.

There was a BIG warning that these people are not legit and that anyone doing so will still have to pay EDF the full amount for the electric they used.

Just as you say when you say how thick are these gamers, sadly from the letter from EDF it appears that there are a lot of thick people out there, who with an ounce of common sense would think that charging a key from a stranger for half the cost is legit, yet EDF has been forced to spell this out to people.

The mind boggles.

On a side note, some parents don't understand the effect their kids have on other people when they use hacked files for games.

It ruins the on-line gaming experience for the majority of legit players and they really shouldn't have to put up with it and I have no sympathy with the people getting banned (although I do have sympathy with their parents who don't quite understand it all).

If you were say going to the boxing day sales and you queued up outside for 8 hrs to make sure you were first in-line for the best bargains when the store opened, how would you feel if when the doors opened, someone had used a cheat to get in there and buy all the best stuff first.

If you were into playing bingo and paid your money, yet every time someone claimed bingo and got the prize with the minimum amount of possible numbers even though they hadn't really even brought a card.

If you go to support your local sports team and find the opponents have bionic bodies that in reality mean it's a waste of time your team even trying, how would you feel.

I hope those sort of examples can show people the damage cheaters do to online gaming.

He is playing on a PS3 and to my knowledge he has done nothing to get this ban. I have asked him if he has cheated etc and he tells me that he hasn't which I believe because although far from perfect he is an honest child.

I think some of your comments are a bit harsh when I only asked advice on something I know little about. I wouldn't expect to get banned playing Bejeweled so was surprised to hear this has happened.

You cannot do this without cheating and using either a modified game save file or illegal firmware update. You cannot get it just by going into a hacked lobby. You have to deliberately do it. It isn't something that can happen "by accident".

As for the comments... I spent £45 on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and it is now unplayable because of the amount of cheaters. I spent a similar amount on Black Ops which was heading the same way. Both were paid ffor by money I have had to go out and work to earn. So no, the comments are not a bit harsh as there are millions of people who paid good money for the game to have their enjoyment of it ruined by people like your son.

Hopefully, they'll do the same for Modern Warfare 2 in the next update. That'll probably mean another game your "innocent little angel" can't play.

What do these hacks do?

I'm hopeless at COD online, I always get killed. Usually just stick to FIFA.

• Wallhack - see through walls
• God mode - invincible
• Aimbot
• Low gravity
• Multiple Emergency Airdtop
• Every crate drop is AC130
• Unlimited Ammo
• Fast running speed
• Kick players from lobby
• Kick players from lobby and freeze console on kick
• Low ping only server
• Remove awards, prestiges
• Remove emblems
• Unlock all challenges
• Unlock and complete all prestiges
• Rank up to Level 70
• Remove wait for start countdown timer
• Force players to respawn in same place
• Force people who leave to rejoin the same lobby
• Make all players have same weapon
• Give individual players NUKE

There's probably more but those are what I've come across. So as you can see, tinker15, it pretty much wrecks a game especially when most games you join (on MW2 at least) have someone LIKE YOUR SON doing any of the above.

I really hope they do ban them from MW2 aw well. it really does ruin peoples games.

C'mon folks 24 hours later and you are all still beating up some kids [ techno ignorant ] mother. The point was made, reinforced, and relentlessly hammered home many times shortly after the O/P's first post. She's out a couple a hundred quid for the kids lies to her, show a bit of compassion and leave it at that why don't you ! :mad:
