Tempering your connection might get you banned

For those of you, who did'n follow the Q&A with G IH A IN ID II (Developer), you might find this interesting.
"Part of the problem is that people are turning to lag switch equvalent solutions to overcome problems whether real or even perceived. This is not healthy for the player base at large."
"Eventually I'll be advising everyone not to do it. It is a form of cheating which we can detect."
These are quotes from G IH A IN ID II regarding some people fixing lag-issues by bottlenecking their connections with torrents and whatsoever to gain advantage over other players. If you want to read the whole story go here: http://community.callofduty.com/message/205348004#205348004
Now here's the problem. Developers try to finetune stuff so our online experience get's better. This can't work if some (or many) start messing things up on the other end. Noboby said you will get banned for this but since it's considered cheating this might be an option. So play fair because you might risk a ban or even reset. Thanks for reading.
If you stream 4-5 youtube vids before a game starts, to not get host, they would never be able to detect that in a million years....well maybe in a million, but certainly not anytime soon
No, they can't detect that. Period. By the way, it's not any form of cheating. You can do anything you want with your connection.
LMAO at anyone who thinks they can detect this. It's no different than being on a home network and having Johnny play COD while his sister watches videos on YouTube. You going to ban people for that? I don't think so.
''Hurr durr, we ban people because they like to watch youtube or justin.tv at the same time as someone in the house is playing MW3''
No, they can't ban you for it, period.
forgive me if I trust his word more than yours. I'm gonna have a good laugh if they start to hand out bans for those in need to ruin others experience for their own benefit ![]()

It would be impossible for them to hand out bans for something A. They can never detect. and B. They could never prove
and then why do they say so?
You're only going to make yourself look like an idiot if you actually believe him. Developers say **** all the time which isn't true.
To scare the kids... Duh!
