Force Xbox Live to permanently BAN laggers



Click here to sign the petition!

A clanmate of mine (and Chairman of Gamers United, a non-profit for professional gamers) just started an online petition on Xbox Live to force XBL and Microsoft to permanently ban laggers, server crashers, server droppers, glitchers and assorted cheaters. I play a lot of COD 4 (Call of Duty 4), BF2MC (Battlefield 2), Frontlines: Fuel of War and Halo 3 and I'm amazed how Xbox Live just turn a blind eye to these idiots who drop servers and ruin the game for dedicated gamers.

The Xbox 360 console is a piece of crap as it is (Three Rings of Death) so you'd think Xbox would ban these losers to keep their market share. But no. Despite thousands of filed complaints, Xbox Live has done NOTHING. These same laggers are out there every night crashing servers.

Getting laggers banned permanently seems like a good idea to me. Gamers like 'AerospaceSolid' and 'Icki Icki Rip' won't be around much longer. Non-profit "Gamers United" have agreed to deliver the petition to Xbox personally. The editors of the top gaming sites (IGN, Gamespot, Gamefly, TeamXbox) have taken an interest. Sounds like Xbox are in for even more bad publicity!

Here's the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/xboxlag/

To: Xbox Live users

Fellow Gamers,

This online petition is dedicated to FORCING Xbox Live to ban cheaters who repeatedly crash XBL game servers. Xbox Live have done absolutely nothing to stop laggers from crashing Battlefield servers, despite thousands of filed complaints. It is now time to put the pressure on Microsoft and Xbox Live to address these serious concerns.

Lagging out servers not only ruins the game but it severely damages Xbox Live's reputation and credibility within the gaming community. For millions of us, gaming is a hobby and a passion. It is being ruined by laggers/cheaters and by Xbox Live who refuse to seriously address this issue. Let Xbox Live know that you are sick of cheaters like "Aerospace Solid", "Icki Icki Rip" and "ColdWarVett" ruining gaming.

Sign this petition and it will be delivered to Xbox Live, Microsoft and the media (IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy, CNet etc.)
