Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

> Me and a friend got banned for boosting on rumble pit, can some tell me how long the ban is??? This would be my second time being credit banned. :frowning:

See most people would have learned a lesson that boosting is bad. However I’d imagine it will be similar in length to your earlier ban, if not longer.

Would anyone care to explain to me how my account was banned form earning credits? I’m a little confused here. I’ve been playing for three hours this morning with my nephew(passing the controller back and forth), earned maybe 30k credits then BAM! Credit ban.

A few things I’m looking for here: Why I was banned. What period of time is ā€œtemporaryā€. And to what degree I can expect fair use of the game going into the future. I need to know if I should worry about future frivolous banning or if it will be conducted with greater discrimination in the future.

I don’t think these are difficult questions, and I’m looking for reasonable answers. These are especially important considering the wide variety of mulitplayer fps alternatives currently available. I need to know why I should continue to trust 343industries with my limited leisure time and especially if this is what I can expect from Halo 4 matchmaking.

EDIT: After being directed here by a mod, I read a few posts and learned I was banned because I earned 0 kills in several games. Good job 343industries. Noobs should stick to Call of Duty. You’ve made a great point. I’ll be sure to let the appropriate people know that Halo: Reach is a game for srs gmrs only. Your moderation team is top notch, and your management of Halo Reach matchmaking has ensured that Halo 4 will be the first Halo game I buy second hand.

On a more serious not. Wake up. You’re loosing customers faster than you think. Take a look at the matchmaking longevity of Halo 3, then compare them to your player numbers.

Hello My son Kaden12360 was temp. banned from credits and after two days on the phone with Microsoft and Xbox Ref#1181882905 &1181956595 I have found out why but not how long?
First of all Kaden is a special needs child who is 13 with a 3rd grade understanding. we had a modem going Bad and he did not understand why the screen would black out so he would turn off the machine restart and play until it happened again. I have got the Modem replaced and its now working. He and I neither one had any idea this was wrong to do and will not let it happen again. I his father oversee every game he plays to make sure he does not hear offensive language nor foul play due to his dissabilities. I ask you show him some mercy and I will make sure he never does this again.
Thank you Kevin Bledsoe Concerned Father.

MICROSFT LEAD ME HERE FOR AN ANSWER> IS ANYONE GOING TO HELP? MY EMAIL IS kbletzoe@gmail.comDoes anyone read These? Anyone Respond… NO EMAIL NOT RESPONSE ON THE BOARD i wastold by Xbox this would be no longer than 24 hours going on 72

My gamer tag is WRECKENREDNECK my girlfriends is IMGOOD88 and we have been ban from earning credits on halo reach for about a total of 2 weeks. Ok one day our ban was lifted about about 6 to 8 hours and I was ban again, and I hadn’t done anything wrong and neither did my girlfriend. This has been on ongoing issue with us and we would just like to get some help with it and start earning credits again, so any help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you. And I was woundering why I haven’t recieved any emails that were supposably sent and never weren’t to my email explaining why I and her have been banned from earning credits.

I was wondering why i had gotten banned from earning credits I’m new at this game which is halo reach and I was’t doing any thing wrong when I got banned my boyfriend was also banned and he got on here and our banned was lifted for like 4-8 hours and then banned again i was in the middle of a gain and got the message poped up on the screen. i been paying good money every moneth to play xbox live for halo reach and not being able to earn credits makes it pointless to even have it.

The console in question was banned due to AFKing activity in this game: SWAT Magnums on Countdown

You don’t get an e-mail telling you why you were banned on Halo: Reach, that only applies to Xbox LIVE account bans/suspensions.

I need someone to explain to me what in the world AFKing is and how to avoind doing it because I have no ideal how to avoid doing it, because like I mentioned I have no ideal what it even is. And if someone would explain this to me and how long the ban last i would be greatful thank you.

> Hi,

> I tried to play Reach today, and upon signing it I was told that my xbox has been permanently banned from Halo Reach. I would just like to know what the cause of this ban was, and if there was a number I could call to talk with a service employee.

An -Yoink!- will answer you ASAP.

Why has my account been banned from earning credits? I have read the ā€˜Why did i get banned -official thread’ and still see no reason why my account was banned. I know this won’t help to reverse the ban,however, it would be nice to know why i was so that i don’t do it again in the future without knowing i’m violating 343’s terms and conditions.

I just read From your Company and now totally confused (You don’t get an e-mail telling you why you were banned on Halo: Reach, that only applies to Xbox LIVE account bans/suspensions.
Waypoint Post Booter) than who does? Are these actually read?

i have been temporarily banned from earning credits on both my xbox console and my account. this is the first time this has happened, and i have been playing halo online with friends since xbox live came out. i was playing yesterday after i got off work starting at about 2 pm and in the beginning it was fine, i played with my friend for a few hours and completed all the daily challenges and after a few hours i had accumulated about 110k credits so far that day. Then out of the blue i get a message in the middle of one of my games and it said my account had been temporarily banned from earning any credits. So after the game end i turn off my xbox for a few minutes. then when i turn it on and halo begins a message comes up and says my console had also been temporarily banned from earning any credits.so i shut the xbox off and now its the next day at about 1230 pm and still my console and account are temporarily banned from earning credits. my friend is here and he cannot earn any credits on his account from this console either.if i could get some answers soon on this thread it would be great… ill be waiting

thanks

0 kills in a few games = entire console gets a cR ban. First ban 24h, 2nd ban 1 week and 3rd ban 2 weeks long

You have 0 kills in so many games, when you play you need to kill players and thats the main point of the game. First ban is 24h, 2nd ban 1 week long and 3rd ban 2 weeks long.

It’s simple

Play the game.

AFKing is when player don’t do a thing in the match at all (Just standing still and whatnot) It is REALLY simple to avoid this. Play the game normally.

This^^ Move and still dont get any kills = Ban.

Allso AFK= Away From Controller/Keyboard

im not an afker, you can tell if you look at my stats… but yes on occation i do have to walk away from my xbox right in the beginning of a match unknowing exactly when i am going to return. i have 2 questions now, how many afk games in one day or a week even for that matter does it take to get a temp bann on cr. and my second question is , why can people get -25 in a game over and over and they dont get cr banned?

0 kills is in a few games is what gets a player banned, -25 with 1 kill= no ban.

that’s lame bs that people can repetitively get negative kills and not get banned but if u have to step away from your console and don’t want to quit out then your gonna get banned.
