Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

i was told this is were i could maybe get some help or were i should look for advise on repealing a ban that i dont deserve i didnt do anything i quite a game evry now and again and wait my time but this is the second time this has happen and i want it fixed now

Hi everyone. I think I may have been temporarily credit banned, but no message came up. For the past two games, I’ve earned exactly 0 cR each time. Did I get banned? It was deserved of course, but I’m curious as to whether or not a notification should’ve popped up.

> got a message today that i was banned from earning credits and console banned from Halo Reach and i havent done ANYTHING. i never quit games. <mark>im almost never AFK</mark>. the only times ive betrayed people is when my friends do and i always make them stop. id like to know the grounds for this and how long its going to last. im extreamly upset i dont deserve this :frowning:

So you have AFK’d then?

Answered your own question.

I have a question about these new custom challenges and banning. Is spamming the same challenges cause for a ban/reset?

Either way, can a general list of rules be presented about them? Custom Challenges are a great idea, and I plan to use them to get lots of credits, but I don’t want to do anything that is not acceptable with them. Please respond with a post or message me. Or even better; Can you make a page or thread regarding what is ok and not ok to do with custom challenges?

Thanks,

MARAWR,

I looked over your game history and it looks like there was a game you afk’ed on november 11th.

Now, since it was only one time (recently) and your guest was active, I think the mods here will probably undo your ban. But I am not a mod, so… :stuck_out_tongue:

Good Luck!

Why is my account and xbox temporary suspended 343 industries and Microsoft studios? Gamertag is CarterD13.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation? It’s really starting to annoy me, and I really want to play the CEA maps, but I can’t because every time I go to the multiplayer menu, the servers are always unavailable.

Someone please help me.

Can someone tell me why my gamertag and PsyberRed got my console temporarily banned? How long do temp bans usually last?

SchittyBoss07,

I don’t believe you were banned. If you were banned, there would be a big pop up every time u started reach saying, “You have been banned!”. If you have not been banned, you should contact xbox customer support. Their contact info is on the last page of your halo reach manual which you received in the halo reach box when you bought the game.

Hope this helps,

@CarterD13: I see a few games where it looks like you might have had AFK guests. Game 1. Game 2. Game 3.

@DressingElk75: The only thing I see are games where you had a negative score in Infection. But I don’t know if they have been banning people for that.

@SchmittyBoss07: I don’t think that’s a ban. You’re usually notified via a popup if you are.

@quws45: As far as I know, no, that’s not a cause for a ban. Hopefully someone with more insight can help!

Yeah carter… that’s definately AFK guests… tsk tsk…

i screwed up guys, i got suckered into boosting with friend, i dont know why i did it i wasnt thinking

but i got credit banned

now im not trying to get unbanned by arguing, i made my bed and im laying in it, but i wanted to know since this is really a first time offense when i will have that ban lifted, how long do they usually go?

sorry guys, i feel kind of ashamed

My gamertag is Skrogg420. i NEVER leave games yet quite frequently it says if i leave another game it will lock me out for 10 mins, how can i stop this if im not quiting any in the first place?

same here mines skrogg420

Hi,

I’m really worried about my account getting banned. I’m guilty of AFKing and deranking (jumping off the map a bunch of times), and credit glitching, I’ve only done these things a few times. Should I be worried about getting banned from matchmaking? I was also wondering what causes someone to be permanently banned from matchmaking? Cheating? “Deranking?” Credit glitching? What?

Thanks!
