Modern Warfare 3 'Temporary Bans' Last 13.5 Years

[dlevere]

If you've been banned from Modern Warfare 3 for being a jerk or cheating, you can start playing again in another 5,000 days.

If you're a 13 year old and you catch such a serious ban, you'll be 26.5 years old when you can play again. A serious ban is 5,000 days, or 13.5 years, according to MP1st.

But don't worry - these bans are dubbed "temporary" by Infinity Ward.

Can't you just use a different name and internet connection/IP address to bypass the ban?

Its usually based off the Gamer Tag, I don't think its based off system ID as I have heard people say that their Account is banned from a particular game but can play using another Account.

How does someone get caught cheating? How can someone prove somebody cheated?

How does someone get caught cheating? Meaning, how can someone prove somebody cheated by using cheat codes?
