Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

> The wehelp@microsoft.com is awesome. I was contacted within an hour. They gave me real information so that I could stay in contact with a Microsoft representative instead of being blown-off. They said it is a growing problem and that they would contact 343i. It is a start.

yep they were very helpfull when they called me back we need to get more people to contact them

There is no problem, you were banned for AFK boosting.

Game

For a first time offence, it tends to last 24-48 hours.

For more information regarding bans, read here: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?link=H3Bans

There is an Official “Why did I get banned” thread stickied to the first page. Someone will answer you if you ask in there.

So I got a temporary credit ban for boosting the last four Reach achievements a couple nights ago, it has been a couple of days now, still I am ? When is this up?

Next time you guys do multiplayer achievements can you make them realisticly achievable through a normal course of playing? It is really stupid how specific some of these were, and never even getting the right gametypes to come up to get them legitimately is a joke.

Play normally and don’t worry about the achievements then, they will come naturally.

As for your ban, if it still hasn’t ended after a few days, it is likely a 1-2 week ban.

This is ridiculous. It counts a challenge more than once and it’s my fault? Not only is that atrociously handled network supervision, it’s also a major inconvenience and disservice. My brother completed the challenge twice. By accident. So you get X number kills with a DMR. If you play SWAT, that figure is usually not something you tally up, let alone worry about ban over. I find it ludicrous how now nobody in my apartment can play, just because he got 8,000 Cr by accident. It takes a career total of 20 MILLION to get to Inheritor, so why do you care so much?? I do not have a modded console, software, ANYTHING. I play fair, and this is how I get treated. Crap like this is an incentive for people to react more negatively than anything else. If the system is automated, why don’t you make it a little more precise? Maybe next time I’ll stick with Battlefield 3 on PC- and you can take your xbox and shove it.

You were AFKing, so your console was banned.

If I may quote from this page: Banhammer Details

With all due respect who are you to tell me how to play? If I didn’t boost them I was not going to get them, I didn’t hurt anybody, and our game was full so I am not sure I see the problem.

I have every achievement in every Halo game, if they are put into the game they should be achieveable through normal progression, without boosting them it is nearly impossible to get them due to low population on the proper play lists where the specific maps and game types are available. It is not my fault that 343 made bad achievements.

Anyways thanks for the info though.

He was banned legitimately, not falsely, just because someone is banned doesn’t mean you need to constantly tell them to e-mail wehelp@microsoft.com because they don’t want a ban.

i have been acused of spaming this site by another person that posts here because i tell people to stay on topic that this forum is to figure out why you were banned NOT to complaine about your ban or why you felt it nessisary to do the wrong that got you banned , and this is not the forum to complaine that your ban was un fair and you have done nothing wrong noone here can reverse your ban this forum is strictly for figuring out why you were banned if people complaine an stray from the topic i tell them to goto an email address wehelp@microsoft.com because that is the complaint department at their corperait level that is a microsoft email address this is a halo waypoint forum owned by microsoft spam is posting to goto a 3rd party site as quoted in the terms of use for forums this is a direct quote from a post made by bs angel

I have a problem, my console was temporarily banned from earning credits. what did i do and why cant i get a hold of anyone to resolve the issue. me and my friend were playing dmr’s. when the game was done i stopped to text a friend and that message popped up.

You had an AFK Guest in this game: Game.

thats strange because she was playing, she had to put the controller down once because we are sick. you can guess why.

do you know how long im banned for?

> do you know how long im banned for?

For a first time offence, it is usually 24-48 hours.
