Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

Just edit your last post, don’t continually post…

If you’re not doing stuff on purpose, maybe you need to contact your Internet Service Provider and see what the deal is. If you’ve got a router, try to directly connect to your modem instead, maybe your router is old/not great anymore.

Sometimes I’ve seen it happen where a match was found, and then for some reason the lobby splits. I know this because I was in a party with my team, and half of them were in a game where it said I quit out, but I was in a different game where they quit out. A while after that sort of stuff happens, you could go to bungie.net to see which game was “real” (one wouldn’t have any stats for it, the other game would); and you might be able to do the same thing on waypoint but it’s significantly more difficult since they hate timestamps here.

Who do you contact?

Your ISP and tell them you are continuously lagging out of games on Xbox LIVE, this isn’t a Halo: Reach problem, nor a 343i problem, it is solely on you.

I walked away to go to the bathroom, come back boom im banned? i have no idea why.

You were banned for AFKing activity.

First time bans tend to last 24-48 hours.

My sons and I were playing Halo Reach matchmaking (Swat-boardwalk, I think) last Saturday, when suddenly our opponents started getting glitchy. Then everyone on the console got banned from credits, and we didn’t even do anything wrong. We weren’t even winning. I reported my opponents afterwards b/c I thought maybe it was something they did, but I’m not really sure. My middle son says he’s still banned (5 days now). I haven’t checked mine yet. Is there anything you can do? What can I do?

OMG…

I did absolutly nothing wrong and got banned from credits why? for how long?

My boyfriend and I were both banned from earning credits, along with the console.
It didnt say why or how long.
What is going on?

This happened a few weeks ago when we were having internet connection issues. They said it was because we left too many games.

This time we havent left any games or gotta 3 zero kills in a row.
What are we doing wrong. Please help.

If your sons are Charduck97 & dragons above96, they were banned for AFKing activity in this game: SWAT on Reflection.

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

For more information on what will and won’t get you banned, check this out: Ban information.

Second time bans tend to last 1-2 weeks.

As for your query on your girlfriend, she will not be banned if she is getting 5-10 kills a game, it only tracks zero kill games for AFKing activity.

Your guest was the reason for your ban, he had AFKing activity in this game: SWAT on Asylum.

Assuming your boyfriend is G imherriot, he was banned for AFKing activity in this game: SWAT on Asylum.

If this is about a forum ban, send me a PM with your brother’s GT and I’ll look into it.

To add on, if this is an Xbox LIVE ban, may I redirect you to the Why Did I Get Banned topic on Xbox.com’s forums?

I was recently put on a mic ban and I was not told why I was banned or how long I would be banned for. Is there anyway I can recieve this information?

Hi when I do a campan mission I don’t get any credits I’m not sure if this a ban or not?

Mute bans are completely player controlled, if you receive a certain amount of mutes in a limited space of time, you will be given a mute ban as you are clearly causing disruption, however, it is easily abused, especially in the MLG playlist were everyone mutes the other team to stop them from hearing call outs.

As far as the community knows, mute bans can’t be removed, your friends & people online will have to unmute you to hear you & talk to you.

> Hi when I do a campan mission I don’t get any credits I’m not sure if this a ban or not?

It is likely you hit the credit cap or didn’t play the level long enough for any cR.

You would be notified if a ban was placed on your account.

> Hi when I do a campan mission I don’t get any credits I’m not sure if this a ban or not?

Probably eith (1) a credit ban or (2) your done with the commendation style that your using to kill the enemies, or as The Little Moa said, you hit the cR cap.
