Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater"
http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-xbox...,5767271.story
She says they've stolen his confidence and may end up isolating her autistic son even more than he is now. Jennifer Zdenek, the mother of an 11-year-old boy who lives with autism, is outraged at Microsoft Xbox Live for labeling her son a "cheater" and taking away everything he's earned online. She says her son, Julias Jackson, is so good at playing X-Box games, Xbox LIVE thought he cheated. She says her son got online last week to play Xbox LIVE and saw that he was labeled a cheater and had zero "achievements." Zdenek says her boy masters games in three to four days. She told her son it would be ok and called and emailed Microsoft to resolve the issue. What she got was an address for the legal department and three emails stating in similar terms: "The only actions that we take are to correct the player's current Gamerscore, and to label the player as a "cheater." This label can be observed on Xbox.com and through the player's view of their Gamercard on a console or computer that is connected to Xbox LIVE. The player can still legitimately gain future achievements. The player's experience does not change in any other way." She says her Xbox LIVE has served as some of her son's only interaction outside of school and has devastated him. She argues her son did not cheat in any way, and earned his "achievements" solely from his hard work and hours logged online. "It disgusts me that they did this to my child," Zdenek said. Q13 FOX made efforts to reach Microsoft but received no response. Zdenek says she may cancel her son's subscription at the beginning of next month if Microsoft continues to ignore her requests to take "cheater" off of his account. |

Maybe he's just pretending to be autistic so that he can sit around and play xbox all day....sort of like how this guy pretended to be reeruned on Just Shoot Me:
(and yes I know that autism is not reerunation)

They would probably let it slide if it was Doug Fluties son.

Back in the day, there was a mod (can't remember his name) that basically told anyone that posted to **** off. Those were the best ones. Now the mods are more "robotlike" in their responses. |

Man.
After spending a few minutes on that page, I'm thinking I'll probably forego an XBOX and go with the PSIII if I get a new console. Some of those guys sound like they legitimately got screwed. When there are literally hundreds of 2 sentence responses that all say "get ****ed", I'm inclined to believe that microsoft can kiss my ass.

So, wait....because tons of people that modded games, modded systems, vulgar usernames, illegally obtaining gamerscore - breaking the contract they agreed to.....because they got banned, that makes you choose another system? Not that I care about the PS3/360 battle that goes on, but I would think that a system (and I'm sure PS3 does it as well) that regularly bans people that cheat or mod systems and generally **** shit up for everyone else playing would be a reason to go with a system....unless you are planning on being one of those guys. |
