I have also read over numerous threads over the last week and do not find any references to the Silver account.
I took my Xbox on Live with a Silver account, after contemplating going back to stock firmware. In the end I did not bother flashing it to stock and decided to take my chances. I have not been banned yet, but don't think I am immune even though I usually only play legit titles. I was asked to do a few updates - one from the COD MW2 disk, after which I had to download the Media update again.
As my Gold sub ran out couple of months ago, it is painful not to be able to play MW2 online, but I not going to buy another sub before the banning wave is over; as I think m$ are evil enough to wait before I get Gold and then ban me!
I am a silver member and have been banned.
I never had a gold subscription. I use 48hr codes and have been doing so for the past year
