Ya there are a lot of rules... but they aren't so strict because it requires a lot of people complaining on your account. But xbox is very strict about gamerscore/gamesave/achievement cheating, no matter the methods to achieve those cheats.
As for 360 dvd flashing, haven't ever done it. Some firmwares are designed to not get you banned off live, but that still very risky. Never touching that.
Haven't ever considered touching the 360 because I'm always on Xbox Live playing with friends and I love it.
As for xbox1, there was Xlink Kai to play online without xbox live, even on unmodded consoles. 360 doesn't support Xlink Kai anymore as the ping limit for system link games has been lowered to 30ms or less. So no more free system-link internet gameplay. Why I went full force into Xbox Live and left Xlink Kai.
