Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

ok i havent ever done moding, in game gliching, or idling. and def never munipulated my network to win either. since the start of the halo franchise. combat evolved till now, i have never cheated. my guest was idle a couple games and then i get credit banned. gathered from other s in this forum i would be biastly accused of boosting. I am strongly against these accusations. I have always been a legitimate and fair gamer. If no feedback is replied then i guess my request is denied. so be it…

The reason for my wife and I and our consol being teporarily banned is AFKing? Can you please explain what that means. My wife and I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I just bought the game today and have only played a few hours and was banned. I have no idea why. I got a message saying I was temporarily banned from earning credits, then one saying my console was banned. I admit, I’m not a great player, but I don’t think I should get banned because I can’t get a kill in every game. The system should be able to tell the difference if a player is moving around and actually trying, versus just sitting idle.

Creidt Banned for Two Weeks!

Ok, so on August 30th I was playing grifball, I ended up matched up against a party that were all Inheritors and a Forerunner constantly got spawn-killed (i was able to get some kills but most weren’t even connecting, i know that happens sometimes in Grifball) but this is a link to the game to see how bad the spawn-killing was

I did not quit because I get disconnected on a regular basis lately with my internet service acting up. That situation was taken care of but I wanted to try to stay in as many games as possible. And I just don’t like how I got banned for staying in a game and taking my whipping instead of quitting.

Hey so a couple days ago, I was playing Halo 3, team slayer with my buddy. I was lagging in and out and some games I’d get disconnected randomly because of my connection and it was really windy here. We were playing and all of a sudden I got sent back to the lobby with a message saying my account was permanently banned from matchmaking and my console has been banned for 3 months.

I see no reason that I had to get banned for my connection and am really flustered right now with this.

I spent $60 on this game and get a 2 week credit ban without explanation of why. Caring about paying customers is not a priority only their money!

Of course she didnt know how to play halo
halo is more for boys

Please tell me why I am credit banned? I just got some monsters and was raring to play all weekend to get the super jackpot…

I had a guest that had never played before, and only got 1 kill in 6 games, is that why?

If so, that’s completely unfair

I was recently banned from earning credits on Halo: Reach matchmaking. I play on a big TV, and my brother and I play most of the time. Often, i’ll play alone, but the TV screen is far too big for me to play an effective game. I like to sign on a Guest player so that i’ll have access to a smaller screen, and play an optimal game. I’m not sure how many times I did this, but after my last game I was told that my console was banned from earning credits. My intent was not to boost my rank and/or credits, but to play a game where I can get the kills I want instead of struggling over finding a position to sit/stand with the huge screen.

Ok me n my wife was playing firefight matchmaking n a message came up on screen say ur account was banned and my console was banned from getting credits in halo reach not sure what we did but would like to know why and how long

Hello, I just got off the line with xbox live customer support.
They told me to come here and find the ban forums because they are unable to help live on a phone with ban problems.
I’ve now had a credit ban twice in one week. I looked up all the reasons for bans and do not fit into these categories.
I thought it was possible that it was because my friend from another state came to visit and recovered his account here but I deleted his account from my box after the first ban.
The second came after I hadn’t even been signed in.
I was wondering if someone could help me figure out why I’m being banned and how to prevent it.
Thanks in advance.
