Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

> well the quit ban told me why i was being banned so ya, and how are you so sure its me lagging out

The Quit Ban is the only ban which tells you the reason why.

As for you lagging out, if it was a service problem, we would have a lot of people on the forums complaining about it and sharing their issues, you appear to be the only one, as I said, restart your router and if that doesn’t fix it, contact your ISP and ask what’s up.

whatever the case im getting pretty fed up with being banned for no reason every 5 min so im done for the day

> whatever the case im getting pretty fed up with being banned for no reason every 5 min so im done for the day

You are being banned for lagging out which counts as a quit, you are not being banned for no reason.

I was banned from earning cr in halo reach i can see why. I afk for about 6 firefight games. I had no idea that i could get banned from earning cr for this. I think it was unfair, but live and learn right? I would like to ask how long will i be banned and can you please send me a list of all the things that you can get banned for in halo reach. So i will know next time. Thank you.

just play the game the way it was meant to be played and you wont get banned.

i got and get a message saying im credit banned for 2 weeks for both account and system. no other information than that. i wasnt cheating i know that for sure cause i was playing single player and yet i have gotten no good response as to the reason behind this ban. more than that i have gotten no response. i do not have any modes and i cant think what the problem is and i think im starting to be ignored cause no one else has a clue either. come on little moa cant you do something? this is very disappointing to have no results.

same here, i’m hoping my ban is just 24 hrs as it was my first offense but we’ll see at about 1:30 central time. i was just trying to do that darn weekly challenge. but like you said live and learn and i probably won’t earn credits like that and just do the whole custom challenge thing :wink:

Well i’d like to know if the “banned temporarily can mean a permanent ban or most likely a 1 day to a weel ban” thanks.

yeeeesssss ban lifted :slight_smile: just a 24 hr ban for me

Halo Ban Information

First time bans tends to last 24-48 hours.

I have primarily just left it for someone else to figure out because I don’t have a clue, I can only check your game history like many others, it is unlikely you will get an official response either, you can always try PMing Total Sellout, he has banned people in the past and mentioned it on Twitter, I assume he has ban hammer control, he may be able to help you out.

> Well i’d like to know if the “banned temporarily can mean a permanent ban or most likely a 1 day to a weel ban” thanks.

First time bans tend to last 24-48 hours, any longer past 48 hours is usually 1-2 weeks.

My ban was lifted looks like it was a 24hr ban. I guess the first time is 24hr.

This is bull… i have been banned twice within a months time for no reason. the only thing i can think of for the ban, was that i had a guest play with me on live that was not good at the game… not only is that not far it makes no since to ban me for tryin to show someone the game… i need more info than just telling me i am banned. is there any way to see this digital record they have on me, so i can try to stop this from happening anymore!

Me and my friend played halo together for around 24 hours between the two of us and we reached the credit cap yesterday and I get on today to find I have been banned from getting credits. We do not believe we did anything to get banned for other than playing too much and the system possibly thinking we weren’t playing. Someone please explain to me why I got banned from getting credits? And if so is there a support think I can file to appeal the ban?

As I understand it, there is no ban for hitting the credit limit for any given day.

I checked your game history, and there is definatly a fair bit of AFK activity.
Here
Here
And here

The ban system is automated, and reads 0 kill and low kill games as boosting, which is against the rules. Sitting idle in a game or just running around and dieing without any kills counts as boosting.

Unfortunately, there is no appeal process that i am aware of. The good news is that credit bans only last 24-48 hours (for a first time ban) from the time you first receive the ban notificatin(as far as i know). Think of it as knowledge gained, now you know how to avoid future bans.

LOL omg your a idiot, play the game not the credits.

This guy on my team a few days ago repeatedly commited suicide. His score was negative 54. I hate him for that. Would temporary bans be applied to him? Especially if a certain someone has his gamertag and a saved video of the match in question…?

You were banned for AFKing activity in this game: TU Team Slayer on Select.

You can’t get banned for being a jerk.

I have been playing Halo Reach multiplayer for some time now, last month I received a temporary ban from earning credits that lasted 48 hours. I was playing in firefight and as far a I know did not break any rules I had a friend play who has never played Xbox before, interesting that they got a system that following week. Then this weekend I was playing firefight again with my friend and we both got the ban but this time it is going from Friday 4/27 and I still have the ban from earning credits and theirs has been lifted. I want to know how I broke the rules to receive this ban, because if this is going to happen more often am questioning whether or not to get Halo 4.

Was your friend on a completely different account on your console or was he on his own console on his own account?
