I was in my ICT lesson today, and I picked up a piece of paper that had been in the printer, to find a BBC news article from the other morning (27th Feb it was). The article was on a particular gamertag called "Sharpe81", a player from Derby, UK (my own city in fact). It was saying about things such as making threats, kill stealing etc.

Its pretty good that the media are taking notice, but, i guess it isnt in a good light this time. Some of the things such as "completing such and such on easy for easy points" isnt exactly cheating or dishonest play though, but there were things such as kill stealing.

Ive tried to search the article out again but I cant actually find it, if anyone knows which one im on about please post a link.

EDIT: I apologise for the topic title, but thats how it was put.

Bit confused what you're on about. Is this similar to the kid in America who got his 360 confiscated by the feds for threatening to kill someone on Xbox Live?

No, this is totally different. I just thought it strange of the BBC to report on something like this.

But whoah, threatening to confiscate some1s 360? Ha, well, shouldnt be a jerk on live should he.

Yeah I saw it on Penny-Arcade, they even did a little strip on it. Some kid ran his mouth off over Live saying how he was going to bring a gun into school so the feds took his 360.
