I wish there were more mods like this. Dear lord I am beyond fed up with all the little kids and other asshats on XBL who talk shit like this and worse yet cheat/glitch/mod. Now, I'm gonna admit that on MW2 I did use the Care Package Glitch a couple of times when I first heard about it, and it was funny. I then promptly stopped because well, abusing a glitch just makes you a douche bag (and it's currently a bannable offense)
I mean honestly, how retarded do you have to be? Openly mouthing off to a moderator like that, saying that you've got your glitches/mods active during the match... I agree with what some of the other comments said completely; Screw the warnings, just ban the little prick and everyone on his friends list permanently. He'd be doing the XBL community a huge favor to which we owe him a debt of gratitude.
Also just got around to seeing Epic Beard Man... which was just too awesome for words. 67 year old white male beats the ass of some punk African American kid, who apparently is a convicted murderer and has violated parole several times etc etc. I dunno, it's kinda sad that I'm only 23 and I already hate both my generation and the ones after me because of the general lack of respect.
It's really getting out of hand and I swear there are times where I almost wish I was living in a police state.

A video, depicting an Xbox Live moderator (Gamertag: The Pro) banning an Xbox Live gamer during an online match of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, has caught the attention of Microsoft since its posting on YouTube yesterday. Entitled "The Pro : XBOX Live Moderator Abuses His Power," the carefully edited video, which can be viewed after the break, attempts to portray a "corrupt" moderator mercilessly wielding his banhammer and perhaps abusing his authority.
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).
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.
