Recently, a video came out “exposing” a “corrupt” Xbox Live Moderator. In the video, the moderator, aka The Pro, can be heard engaging in verbal confrontation with the players. Stephen Toulouse, Director of Policy and Enhancement for Xbox Live, has now responded to this video.
“Yes, I’ve seen the heavily edited video of The Pro,” said Toulouse. “He was policing the 10th prestige MW2 modding which results in gold account and console ban.” He also called out the one-sidedness of the supposedly incriminating video, saying, “I did enjoy the explanation about the audio being totally off/1 sided cause his ‘capture card went crazy’ when it’s clear it was edited.”
Those who have seen the video are now torn, with a faction saying that The Pro was still out of line for even letting the players get to his nerves, thus resulting to him making threats, while others are saying that The Pro did what he had to do.
But for Toulouse, as it is an employee issue, he reiterates the role of the Moderators: “We try to do our job protecting the service dispassionately.” Toulouse also explained The Pro’s comments about console banning, saying that it was “out of context and referred to modding.”
Nonetheless, be that as it may, “While I will speak to him about this tone, the audio is clearly recut to omit the threats and ToU violations the others were saying to him.”
