i got banned???

Out of no were i wasent playing any games and noticed a msg came up that i was banned from Voice communications for a week for doing nothing… idk what i did wrong… i got falsely accused for something i have never done.

Can you still talk to people in a party?

You can get voice banned for being continually muted… It isn’t really a big deal, you just can’t talk to anyone.

just turn off voice chat simple as that

I highly doubt they said they muted you for no reason. In all seriousness you can’t really do anything about it and it’s not that bad just a week without talking to people on XBL. Also, like other people said if you have a kinect try to avoid using it when there is a lot of background noise.

Yep, same here. Don’t even own a mic (or Kinect) and got the voice ban. Pretty sure H4’s ban hammer is broke.

It’s based on how many players have muted you in-game.

  • There appears to be no human oversight on the system.
  • There is no appeals process.
  • Mutes aren’t “validated.” If you’re muted while in Party Chat, for example, that still counts.
  • The system is publicly-known to others, and therefore abused, causing false-positives.
  • Audio options are underadvertised, so people misuse mutes, causing false-positives.
  • All of these problems were known since Reach.

Frankly, I have no idea why 343i’s still using this system.

I have my audio set to friends and party only. But if a random gets stuck in my team, and they’re using a Kinect mic. and I’m hearing all of the game again 2 seconds later through that person’s feedback, they’re getting muted.

Don’t use Kinect for FPS.

Why do people even get banned for this? I mute people all the time, but that doesn’t mean I want them punished, I just personally don’t want to hear them, which is perfectly fixed when I mute them. This sounds like a horrible system that punishes people for no reason.

Please use this thread to discuss bans. Thanks.
