Asked enforcement. Your Xbox is associated with an account that clearly intentionally threw all of their placement matches just after being unbanned. This was a recent occurrence, not prior to the previous ban on that Xbox.
Enforcement’s policy is to escalate bans when they are repeated right after being unbanned.
I am trying to figure out why I was banned. I dont nor have not done any of the things it says you get banned for. would have other players even betray me, then I was kicked outta the game? I do not idle etc?? I play fair!! WHy was I banned??

How long is your ban for?
After playing this morning for about an hour or so with no issues, I logged back in to play later in the day only to find out that I have been banned for 21 hours. Not sure what I did to get banned. I even made sure to leave the lobby before switching to another app ion my xbox to make sure i wasn’t getting put into another match.

Im sorry just mad and stress out it just doesn’t make sence
Hey! So I’ve been playing on my girlfriends account, and today I went to smoke and didn’t realize I was in a matchmaking lobby when I left. I had no clue band were a thing now, but anyways, would someone mind lifting the ban? It would be absolutely amazing if you would. It says we are banned till 2021! Ooph!
Please lift my one day ban form warzone please. I just got banned from warzone. It says I was grieving my teammates. Two player purposely ran in-front of my banshee. One was a rally hog too. My gamer tag is thecrazemurder. Please lift this ban as soon as possible.

It’s an automated system; you’ll need to wait till your ban is up.

I play Halo 5 everyday, I’m a steady player, and I’ve played Halo, since day one of Halo CE. Now I’m banned for 14 days for idling in firefight!? No warnings, just banned when I get back home. I don’t understand. I have accidentally splattered people before, especially when they walk in front of me, yet I’m banned for idling. For 14 days no less… Over 14 years of play, now banned 14 days for something with no warning…

If I had to guess, I would imagine it’s due to idling in firefight brings a way to potentially boost Spartan Rank to get to 152. That is, if that is in fact what the ban message said. Normally, 2 week bans are for matchmaking and rank manipulation.

Well I have never manipulated my rank, and do not even know how to achieve such. As for boosting to get to 152, that is what I’m doing. I play the featured game types, and firefight everyday, grinding to 152. As for idling, I just don’t understand. I rarely stop moving, IIput on an XP boost everygamee, but don’t blow my req packs constantly in every game, I save them for Turbo. The only thing that I can conceive of being ‘idling’ is when I help my 4, and 7 year old kids play. If that’s the case, that is the worst code of ethics I have seen. When they get 7-8 kills a game, I’m extremely proud. I have never ditched Halo, unlike 95% of my friends did, it is all I ever play. Now, I am banned, awesome.

While I am kinda doubting this story of “first ban” being that it’s 14 days long but if I were to guess since the monitor said bans that long are for rank manipulation did you let your kids play on your account in ranked games where they did terrible with your rank? The system can flag that as trying to de-rank on purpose to play lower skilled players. So you may want to make an account for when they play… But that is just a guess.

You have pages and pages of games where you get a small handful of kills in the first life and then idle/AFK the rest of the match. That is unacceptable and is absolutely idle boosting.
If your kids are playing, they need to play on their own accounts, not yours.

No sir, I never let them play in ranked. Only in firefight, and that’s because they can basically get whatever gun they fancy, and not have to worry about offending anyone on a rank. Also, doubt what you want, I’ve never been banned from any Halo, prior to Halo 5. I have been banned maybe 2 times for the Wake Up John thing, usually because something has came up, but 2 times in 7 months of playing isn’t bad when you are adulting at the same time lol…

I don’t understand what I’m boosting, it’s unranked. I split my time up between matchmaking, and firefight, playing whatever is featured. It all gives the same points basically. At least now I know why I’m banned for “idling”. I get to 2 req points, as to get them a battle rifle, then let them have at it. I’m right there with them. It’s unranked, I don’t have a page of anything in ranked, or even social where I get a handful of kills. I let them play one thing, and that’s Firefight. Your suggestion is I get another Xbox Live Subscription, for a 4 year old, and 7 year old, that I’m learning how to play Halo? Though the 7 year old is more into Goat Simulator, still yet, that’s what I should do? I have a clear record all the way back to Halo 2, I know I never “idled” on any of those, because I didn’t have a kid I’m trying to get into Halo. Even as such, mine didn’t show an interest until 2 or so months ago, so I shouldn’t have any idling pages prior to that either. Now if I got them their own Account, why would they not get banned for 14 days out of the blue, just for playing? Thank you for responding.

What you are boosting would be your Spartan Rank. Your SR is currently 150; in all likelihood, you would be boosting to get to SR 152, so you can get that prize in Halo Infinite.

If your account has an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, then any new accounts created on your console will share your subscritpion. It’s a feature that was specifically added to make it easier for families to share in the benefits of Gold. Your children can create their own accounts and have access to online multiplayer at no extra charge to you, and you would have the ability to add parental controls to their accounts while leaving your account untouched.

This isn’t about playing badly. It’s not about how few kills you or your kids may get when playing. When viewing one of your WZFF matches in Theater mode, you see that you go for a couple kills in Round 1, then die, then stop playing completely and just idle/AFK. The stats from that game are similar to the stats of several WZFF games in your history, suggesting a pattern of being AFK. Boosting can happen outside of ranked competitive matches; in this case, it looks like you are trying for a way to reach SR 152 without actually playing all the time, which is also boosting. WZFF is often regarded as the most efficient gametype for XP farming, and since it’s also purely cooperative, I could see how you’d think going AFK in that gametype wouldn’t get you banned, but that’s not the case.
If, as you claim, it really is your kids on your account, then you should notice when they decide to just stop playing or if they put the controller down, which if that happens, then it would be best to pick up the controller yourself and play for them or quit the match so you aren’t AFK in the match. But 2-week bans are placed for a pattern of behavior, not just one instance, so based on that it seems more intentional than accidental. But no matter what, if you want to avoid future bans, you should make sure that your not idling, whether you are playing or your kids are.

Well I will mention this as well in your service record I see a lot of losses in a row in mythic firefight so that is a hole in this story that “my kids are playing” after I get the BR. If they are playing they need an account or perhaps have them play heroic warzone firefight where they can have more success at the game.
Uber, I sent you a message telling you “keep afking” and this is how you replied (I would hyperlink a picture of the our textchat but I am too low of a level to do that lol https://i.imgur.com/E7W5MvJ.png ), how about you just take this ban as a warning and quit afking in firefight.
I ran into you multiple times and that’s why I took some time out of my day to report you because every time I saw you ingame you did the exact same thing.

Uh oh looks like some one is busted… And trying to claim it was his kids playing…SMH… Seems to me every one who has claimed they were unjustly banned gets proven the ban was justified.
