NO TALKING OF ILLEGAL CRAP, every time a topic of this sorts comes up, people always try to outdo one another with information on this forums rules, save all that please

I AM JUST THE MESSENGER!!!!

the guys over in the xboxscene forums are going crazy because apparently Microsoft are banning alot of people right now due to illegal activity , what do you guys reckon?

i hope it isn't due to the *leaked* NXE, but some people are saying Microsoft are leaking games early, flagging these copies, so when people try to play them online..BAM!! no more live for you

your thoughts?

Edited the title. Please refrain from using all caps in thread titles ;)

Frankly, I don't see the problem here. If you're pirating games, you deserve to get banned. It doesn't matter if the games are let out on purpose; those people that pirate games pirate them regardless of any ulterior motive behind why it was leaked.

Oh puh-leaze. This ISN'T related to the NXE Update being downloaded. Why? Because those people who downloaded the NXE update can't connect to XBL. That's just as good as playing pirated games offline without ever connecting to xbox live.

This is due to the user (in this case you) playing pirated games online.

By the looks of things it's mainly the people who have either played a crap load of games or not check if it's correctly patched.

I hate the hysteria everytime a ban wave comes like people are genuinely confused over it.

If you pirate, you take the risks.

If you get caught, tip your hat to MS, they're obviously more clever than you thought :p

And stop the pointless speculation on causes, no one but MS knows, and to be frank it can be a whole load of reasons, even things you done "wrong" 1+ year ago.

I like to have a good lol at all the pirates whining and threatening MS :laugh:

those are the same guys who will ring up the customer call center and swear black and blue that they don't know what a mod chip is and that they have never planned a copied game, that they just turn ed on there 360 (in a non sexually way :no:: | ) and got banned for no apparent reason..:) but i reckon that Microsoft would be that smart that they could detect just a single change to someones 360 like a different fan running at a different voltage or something, which means they've tampered with it and could ban for that kind of stuff..maybe

This ISN'T NXE related. If you've just got NXE without a flashed drive then you should be fine - I was.

Those with NXE early who weren't in the program can still check if they are banned on not. Just troubleshoot your Live connection, then check the error codes. The ban codes are:

W:0000-000B

X:0000-F001

Y-00A8-6820

Z-8015-190D

I actually quite like the people who pirate and then act oblivous to it - its a good read anyway!

Some people are saying it's because of playing games early? I managed to get mirrors edge yesterday from my boy who works @ game

Hope they don't think it's pirated

No you'll be fine, people were playing review copies on live and of course MS would pick up on that. There is no ban wave. Only morons who deserved to get banned.

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
