Today so far I have reported around 30 players with these tags, in 1 game it was only me and 1 other guy on the other team without them. Getting way out of hand.

Something tells me the next TU will include it. Reading the hilarious ban posts on the XBox forum, almost everyone has a common theme. Their ban came after TU2 on Saturday night.

I wonder if they are going to do a batch fix (ban).

I have been sending twitter messages for 3 days to 402, CoD's offical twitter, CoD's Elite official twitter and XBox's Major Nelson trying to get a straight answer on the button glitch. As anyone who follows the first 3 accounts would know, the answer the past week from these guys has been to contact this @ATVIMikey guy who is Activision head of support. I hadn't bothered since he was just support, but a couple of hours ago he posted a message asking people to report cheats and hacks, so I figured that would open the door. To my surprise, he answered right away and gave the official answer. Ready for this big surprise? They are considered exploits and should be treated as such and reported.
