Please Answer My Question.
Today while playing MW3 I saw some people that actually had xbox 360 controller Buttons inside their clan tag. After seeing that i backed out of my game because i thought the players were hacking. Later i went on google and saw that this could be done VIA In-Game and it does not in any way effect the players skill during the game giving them NO advantage other then being annoying seeing their buttons when i get a kill or die by them. so i was just wondering. Is it illigal to have buttons in your clan tag?
...... Only respond back in this forum thread if you actually know for a FACT and your not just "saying" it is illigal or isnt illigal.
You can also message me VIA ingame.
( Attatched to this is a picture i found from google of an example of this. )

1. It's illegal.
2. Per ATVI:
dp
Its annoying and distracting. Sometimes I cant see players names on the bottom left to see who killed who because the button tag players get their names overlapped or others.
They should all be punished in some way imo.
Well its not illegal by law or anything, but it IS against the CoC. They are already handing out bans and/or suspensions because of this. As keakua said, it can be very distracting and can hide names and just clutter up the screen.
On the brighter side, they DO make a VERY VISIBLE TARGET when there is one on the enemy team!
But not so bright if that guys is on your team especially when he wants to stand right next to you. (As they always seem to do with me)
You risk a stat reset or ban if you glitch your clan tag. I would recommend against it. Yes people have been banned.
The xbox forums state that it is a bannable offence.
Honestly if you are doing something, and you feel the need to ask the question "can I get banned" you should probably not do it.
like this effects anyones gameplay in any way.
this game is full of problems and there is so many threads all over the internet about this.
how does this matter? why is it illegal(i understand that atvi say it is but why?)
what does it matter? id rather see r3 buttons everywhere than put up with all these server issues and the poo elite services.
The best ones are those who glitch their clan tag so the name basically vanishes, or over laps another persons name. Those get banned by xbox themself as they are tampering with their gamertag. (Perm ban by xbox check the xbox forums, thats why most of them are getting banned).
The ones who just use xbox buttons will only get 48 hours, unsure if stat resets are part of it. But they are a 48 hour ban. Thankfully I use to see 3-4 every map, now I can go maps before a person comes in with them. Then I just hit report.
Activision is working on a fix for Clan Tag Validation (remove buttons from clan tags)
I think the latest patch stopped it
