What exactly can they do? Can they really boot me offline, or hack into my account? JW, as i was threatened with it today.

Agreed, unless you give them personal information which I hope to God people are smart enough to not do.

They can hack Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Leaderboard xD They can also... huh... play on pirated copies... and get booted out of XBox live! Nah seriously they cannot do anything to you unless you give them your e-mail adress, your password, and the ''Name of your mother's maiden name''

They can't hack your XBL account per se, but they can socially engineer MS's tech support to let them into your account. I'm not sure what information is needed to do that, but from what I know about the process they don't need very much beyond your gamertag's name and a good excuse as to why they can't provide any other info.

which is why browsers are limited to certain websites, or with PS3 they only allow certain languages, so many sites don't react the same.

As long as you avoid giving out personal information like your real name, address, ss#, stuff like that, you'll be fine.

Actually I think they can force you out of a game they're in with you. Something to do with flooding your connection with pings or something to overload your network and time it out

Dont quote me on that though lol and its not like it would benefit them realy...

This one guy I met while playing Battlefield said he could hack me, said he could ban me from live. I said go ahead, I'll just report you anyways if something does happen, so then he says he's gonna ban me anysecond now.... After ten minutes of nothing, where whenever I would ask "are you done banning me yet??" I got kicked out of the match for no reason.

So I guess they can do stuff like that.

However I did not lose experience. I just ended up reporting him, and just recently when I went to check his GT it said "that it did not exist anymore because this Gamertag got banned"... At that point I just laughed at that guy.
