And TA find out about it, you either have to hide that game form your list and won't count. Or you can lose your display off TA score. So zero gamerscore achievements are not a problem since they don't count towards your stats. Unless you modded yourself, then it is a problem again.

TA CheatpolicyAs far as I know, this isn't true. The Investigations Team doesn't care one bit how much Gamerscore a cheated achievement is worth, only the exact circumstances of how it was cheated. You're probably thinking of the CoD WaW prestige achievements, where for the longest time you could get a "Free Pass" if they found those modded in a way consistent with a hacked lobby. This was not because they were worth no Gamerscore, but rather because there was definitive proof of hackers being able to pop those achievements without any interaction from the user. There was a big discussion about it, I'll see if I can dig it up.
Edit: Alright, there it is.
CoD WaW GlitchedAs far as I know, that's still the most up to date discussion on how modded lobbies are treated by the Investigations Team.
Yes I know about the WaW case, I don't know where I saw/heard that 0 gs wouldn't mater that much. Because the Investigative team and everybody else wants this site to be mod free. And yes I didn't make clear that the circumstances are the most important. And you shouldn't go around unlocking 0 GS achievements and think you are in the clear.
But I think in the decision making off what happens to your account. I think the value and impact on lead boards and stats are also taken in to consideration.
Also reading my own post again, I should have made clear that I don't know for sure. I must have missed that in my thoughts when typing. I'm not par off that team or have any insight. I only have rumors and logic. That was my fault.
EDIT:
Found the quote in the
CoD WaW Glitched.
said:No, we overlook the 0G achievements. We do not offer removal for just that. As infuriating as it may be to some, the fact is those 0G achievements do not effect stats in the same way as achievements with values attached. Were there additional items beyond just the 2 prestige achievements, we would generate an investigation and offer removal under normal circumstances.
Reasons we would not offer removal include (but are not limited to):
Unlock of online only achievements while offline
Detected use of a profile editor
Hopefully that spells it out a bit better.
