I couldn't agree more! This has got to be one of the more intellegent things I've read in this thread. I'm not sure how much rep you lost, but I +repped and thanked your post. Hopefully it helped to give them something to take from you the next time you don't agree with them.
To all of you saying you don't understand why people are being banned, and that it's their fault for having the flaws, I think I can clear this up.
There are rules everywhere in life, in most cases they are even enforced. I know it sucks, but it's the way of the world. You've gotten away with taking the easy way out on COD for what, seven years? All of a sudden they decide to take a stand. Maybe they are tired of being the laughing stock of the FPS genre. It has to be embarassing to have your releases raped and exploited by every kid with a laptop, well now they've had enough of it.
As far as it being their fault for having the flaws in there goes, that's like saying it's my neighbors fault for hiding a spare house key outside, so I shouldn't get in trouble for taking all of his shit. I understand this is just a game, but its the same basic idea. You act like you should be able to take every shortcut available, without fear of consequences. Well, this time around you're wrong.
There are two ways to deal with this situation. Stop cheating and play legit, (I know, that seems like so much work) or wait out your ban and go back to boosting or w/e got you banned to start with. Just remember one of the definitions of insanity is repeating the same action while expecting a different result.
