> I was playing infection with a friend and about a minute or so into the match a notice popped up and said that i was temporarily banned from earning credits. The notice didnt even state how long the ban would last for. I didnt cheat, hack, boost, i dont understand what i did wrong. I just would like to know what i did or how long this would last for.

never mind i guess it was just a 24 hour thing
Whenever I need a good laugh I come here.
It is very fun seeing all of the people who AFKed and boosted complaining that they did nothing wrong, and yet a quick search of their game history shows that they AFKed or boosted multiple games.
Now, here’s an answer to why you got banned: (and no you can NOT appeal)
Lengths:
Boosting/AFKing: 1st offense: 24 hours.
2nd offense: 2 days? (Not sure)
3rd offense: 2 weeks.
4th+ offense: 2 weeks and eventually a permanent cR ban.
Mute Ban: Forever. (Have your friends manually un-mute you.)
Mod/Hack Ban: Forever.
Quitting Ban: 10 minutes at first. But then you will be placed on probation for a few days. (Must be playing during these days.) If you quit while on probation, you get banned for 10 minutes. Do it again, after the 10 minutes, but before the ban is over, it’s 15 minutes, etc.
Popular Q&A:
Q:Why was my whole console banned because my brother, daughter, son, etc was AFK, boosting, mute banned, quit banned, or perma-banned for hacking.
A: This is done so that people don’t just switch accounts on the same Xbox and continue earning cR.
Q: How long am I banned for?
A: See “Ban Lengths.” However cR aren’t everything. You can get better at the game during the ban.
Q: Why am I banned? I didn’t do anything wrong!
A: Yes, you did. The Banhammer is 99.99% accurate. However, if it was incorrect, and you have the game history to prove it, contact one of the site admins. (I’m too lazy to put their names.)
Q: Grrr! I hate you Bungie/343! Why did you ban me?
A: You (un)intentionally broke the rules. Bungie/343/Microsoft reserves the right to ban you without explanation.
Q: My cousin/friend/girlfriend/ etc was over at my house and they haven’t played Halo or any FPS before. And I got banned. Can you lift the ban? Please?
A: No, 343 will not lift the ban. If you are teaching someone to play Halo, first let them play offline. Then move then to FF. Then, go to Grifball, Swat, Infection, or Action Sack. The point being, don’t take a guest who’s never played Halo before into MLG or BTB. Start them out on the easier playlists. Then slowly move to better playlists.
Q: Can I appeal my ban?
A: No, you have to wait it out.
Q: I learned my lesson and won’t do -insert whatever you did wrong here- again! please lift my ban!
A: First off, that’s not a question. Second, it’s good that you learned your lesson. Don’t break the rules again and you won’t get banned again. No, 343 will not lift your ban. Nor will Microsoft.
Q: Thank you for posting this, Scipio4052. It answered all of my questions! How can I ever repay you?
A: You’re welcome. You can repay me by not AFKing or boosting again. And there’s also a Thank button. Clicking that would be great.
Oh and if you guys/girls/moas could quote this to the people who ask the questions mentioned in the Q&A Section, that would also be great.
Q: Scipio4052! Are you a moderator? Do you work at Microsoft/343/Bungie?
A: No, I am not a moderator. And no I do not work at Microsoft/343/Bungie.
However, if I had to choose I would choose Bungie. I cannot stand the TU Beta.
Q: Scipio4052, have you ever been banned?
A: Yes, but only quit banned. And that was only thrice.
Q: Scipio4052! Will you marry me?
A; Only if you’re a girl.
Now I’m off to do homework!
Feel free to quote this. Just remember to quote me!
My gf getting 0 kills shouldnt matter since I was in a party of all real life friends. And I have the videos that show she was actually trying.

Assuming you were banned, bans can’t appealed, sad to say you would be wasting your time.

Hi, this is still ID e e p w e b from before, but I am coming back with a new account, due to some issues.
I tried logging into my xbl account online to post in the forums and to view my stats, when I got the following message after trying to log in:
"

There is a next button on the screen, so I clicked it and then I got a box to send an e-mail to my account exploit_expert@yahoo.com, so I sent it. Then I tried to log into my e-mail account and view it, but my yahoo account has been compromised and stolen; I have tried everything in my power to get it back, but all leads to dead end fails, and my account being locked. I don’t know if whoever is doing this to me was also using network manipulation on reach as well, but at the very least I would like to log into xbl via my web browser…
Does anyone have any advice that can help me, I am stuck trying to get my account back, even though I am banned for what I can only believe is due to the same person that took my account.
Thanks in advance!

You were banned for AFKing activity.
First time bans tend to last 24-48 hours, any longer is 1-2 weeks.

Xbox LIVE/Yahoo problem, contact them.
I woke up and started halo reach and it said I was banned. I have played this game since the day it came out, I’m halfway through eclipse and I wake up to see I was banned? No reason? No nothing. I’ve played this game and halo 3, and halo 2, and never have cheated, I’m the rank that I am because I’ve played that much. But I get banned for nothing? What makes me mad too is that there’s no warning at all. I someone’s doing something theyre not supposed to why not just send them a message telling them that their account will be watched from then on for any suspicious activity, you don’t just ban them, especially without giving them one good reason.
All I want is an answer to why I was banned gt ‘superlazyboy13’
Well I was banned for a week. The ban was lifted for about 15 minutes and it happened again while I was playing. I have no idea why it happened. cwoody is my son and he isn’t banned. In fact, the xbox he uses isn’t banned either but my xbox is and we don’t ever use it for playing FF
Something is wrong and it sucks
> Hawksrock Woody i would say it is for guest AFKing in FF with your CWOODY082 account. You both had some game with either no kills or very little kills and unfortunately the Banhammer can see that as guest AFKing whether you where doing it or not.
