How to Get Unbanned From Black Ops

Getting banned from "Call of Duty: Black Ops" is more common than you might think. Eager to level their characters, some players modify their controllers and Xbox 360 to artificially enhance their performance. These modifications, known as "modding," are a violation of the Xbox Live and Call of Duty Terms of Service. The punishment for modding can be permanent banning from any Black Ops play. While it isn't possible to reverse a ban, you can "un-ban" yourself by starting from scratch.
