Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

If you think yo have a case, bring it up in this thread.

I was playing a game of halo reach today and I somehow got deranked? But then my rank came back, so i didnt really care. But then i tryed play my theater and it said User content not permitted? Also i tried joining my friends game and it said i cant join for some reasson. I cant view my Game history. I cant download map or game types from the Community. Please help

I got credit banned today and yes i know why i was boosting in rumble pit.However i went to play a game of multi team i got warned 3 times about a temporary credit ban in about 10 seconds and i heard that if you get warned 3 times you get deranked. Will this happen to me

BTW This is my first ever ban warning ive had but i got 3 at the same time.

its always someones brother…

Me and my siblings with playing Halo: Reach (2 guest accounts) and we’ve received multiple bans just today, due to internet problems and accidental betrayals. What started all of this was yesterday when some poor sportsmanlike player was betraying us so we fought back and killed him a couple times ending in him banning me. After that if we even bumped an ally with a ghost accidentally we were instantly banned. We have 2 guest accounts so any betrayal counts towards the main account and we are all very found of the ghost and other vehicles but we aren’t the best at driving. Once we got banned once or twice from that our internet died, we got into games but instantly lagged out and either due to having zero kills or the fact we disconnected we were banned again.

Me and my siblings are big fans of Halo, and all of the Halo universe, we just bought the 3 map packs yesterday, but if it continues to be impossible to play without receiving bans we do not deserve we will be forced to stop playing halo, not buy halo 4, and paying for Xbox live. Please reconsider your banning policy so your game fan’s can enjoy your game.

Thank you for your time.

I want To know why I got a credit ban I was playing fire fight matchmaking with a guest and after the game it say this console has been temporarily banned from earning credits. And I know that you can get banned from your guest not getting kills/points or for being afk but my guest was not afk and he got points so why have I been banned?

Plus this is my first ban so how long will it last?

Hi there, I think this is the right forum, but anyway I was playing on halo 3 earlier doing some lone wolves when I decided to get offline for a bit and take a break, when I came back online, however, I found that my account and my xbox were banned from halo 3 matchmaking for 1 week. I just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the matter.

I was playing with my 5 year old daughter 3 nights ago around 9 at night and the next day I woke up to play I was banned from credits on my console. We only played 5 games. I am still banned. She didn’t get any kills but she killed herself by running off the cliff. She can’t play but she likes running around. Why am I still banned and will I keep getting banned for letting her play or what? I think this is stupid.

Well, if she’s only running around but not killing anyone, it counts as an idle controller, and having idle controllers in a game isn’t allowed.

Why do only some post get replied to? I need to know who to talk to about being ban unjustly. And I can see this is happening a lot don’t you think there may be some thing wrong with your system. I just want to play for fun but you blocked everyone… Not fair to my son.

So apparently I got banned from getting points in halo reach matchmaking? Why is that? I didn’t do anything wrong I just the game as normal. I had a few guests could that be why? Help?

Getting a message that says I have quit too many games when I know for certain that I have not. My gamertag on this Xbox is secured with a passcode (I have kids, none of which are old enough to play) so no one has played on my name. Last time I played was last night; played two games and got offline for bed. Never quit. Got on today for the first time and got the “you have quit too many games recently…” Warning.

Is there something going on? How do I resolve this?

I am a 28 year old mother of 3, so please… Before you send ignorant comments, remember I am used to childish behavior.I am looking for intelligent information, not stupidity.

Thank you in advance.

This is in the wrong part of the forums, I think it should belong in the Matchmaking section. If its a ten minute ban, I would worry about it too much. It will go away by the end of the week. What kind of ban is it?

how do you find out how long your console is banned for my accounts not banned just the console also would changing the ips address work and/or is that cheating

I got banned a while back for Cr boosting to the extent to which I was banned from earning credits for 2 weeks and also had my rank reset, now before you start getting on at me I’ve learned my lesson and I’m now a commander but my in game voice comms don’t work, what I mean is that I can hear other players but they can’t hear me. I’ve never been abusive to another player apart from a little trash talk and I think I may be muted, if this is the case I’d like this to be looked into because my ban was nearly 2 years ago now

Thank’s for your time, Lewis

I just got this game at 6 pm yesterday. My little brother and I played for a few hours, then stopped for an hour. I come back and my console and my account are banned from collecting credits. What did I do?

hi, I play halo reach arena with my Acc sSpaced and get today console and gamertag bann for one week. I dont know why. I got boot many games because theres a lot of cheaters. I complainet them every time but it dont work. Is this the reason to get banned because they kick me out of every game? I dont understand this System. Srry for my English its not good as well.

if your guest gets 0 kills too many times you get banned for credit boosting but you get a group of 9 players and play multi team against 3 players having one of your teams get the objective while two other teams protect you and boost their kills and everything is -Yoink- doorey.
you get 7 other players together and play team slayer and 2 or 3 of them dont get kills in a few matches you get banned but get a party of 7 and go into rumble pit 7 on 1 instead of free for all and thats okay.
these forms of cheating wont be investigated until 25 or so complaints are filed but have a player considered afk for getting no kills you get banned after a few matches i all ready pre order halo 4 but im thinking of canceling it and saying to hell w/ 343i and halo all together cr boosting doesnt hurt anyone (oh no i had to play 2 more matches before that guy to rank up) its bs. cheat against your friends get banned cheat against random players get rewarded. the ranks dont tell you anything anyway maybe you realy suck but play more matches so your a high rank or your really good but a low rank because you dont play much. im rank legend and my console is banned for another weak but my account is not banned while my stepson account is banned but not his console isnt. in 5 minutes or so i could play again but thats not the point the point is ruin the game no punishment help someone get an achievement and hurt noone get banned. not to mention you can boost all you want just make sure everyone in the party gets a couple of kills per match. if my rank were to get reset i would start tea bagging every kill and team killing and suiciding in close matches ect. the hole system is flawed and is going to turn ppl who were hurting noone into team killing eftards

i got banned a little while ago for a few days. im sure it was for cr boosting(which is fine i take credit for that even though i was just being a -Yoink- to my friends in one game where i got a ton of kills) what we were trying to do is get achievments. a few of us only have like 3 left on reach. i only need 3 of the newest defiant achievments. i want to get them all because i most likely wont be able to get all of halo 3s because i couldnt afford and xbox until reach came out(though i had played all of the halos already). will i get banned for trying to get the achievments(i realize its automated and that its because of the guests) but is it actually a bad thing to try to get the achievments for the dlc since they almost never come up?
