Why Did I Get Banned - The Official Thread

I’ve had Reach for just shy of a week and I’ve been banned??.. Played the campaign through with a friend on “Normal” the first day I DL’ed it. Now I’m almost half way through on “Legendary” - I jumped online last night at 11 pm to roll a few maps with friends & to put my hard earned “practice to proof” – at about 2 am – I get a screen that tells me I’ve been “… banned from receiving credits…” —> FOR WHAT!!! HOW!!! For the record -->> I should be getting credits for being the oppositions “rifle fodder” – ARE YOU KIDDING ME??! How am I getting too many points?? UNLESS–> you are giving points for being killed!! I played OL for 3 hours!! MOSTLY DEAD!!!

This is crap!! My gamer tag is 7+ years old – I have NEVER been banned or chastised for ANYTHING —> EVER! How am I getting too many points?? IT’S NOT POSSIBLE!!! I can barely stay alive long enough to get any points!!! My friends get 16-20 kills per game → I GET 2 or 3 → if I’M LUCKY → & DAMN lucky at that!!!

I am neither “a cheater” or someone that is getting “too many points” – It’s just NOT FREAKING POSSIBLE!!! I have friends that wont play with me because I don’t have “high end” skills for them. I’m a below average player - if that! There is JUST NO WAY… Two days ago while tallying up the score at the end of the round - my “slot machine” required me to PAY IT!!! (That’s how bad I am by today’s standards!..)

If this ban is not removed off my account immediately or continues to happen → I’m calling my credit card company and demanding a refund and contesting my payment!! You can keep you your “game”, I’m not interested in being your customer any longer - This is BS and outrageously obnoxious!! In street terms —> This sucks!!..

Not happy at all… :[

Vasi, looking through ur recent games it seems to me that the ban hammer thinks u where afking as there is a bunch of games where u got 0 kills and a few where u got 1/2. Think that’s what it is. U can’t do a lot about it, ur not the first and probably not the last, it’s unfair but unfortunately u just have to live with it. I think first time bans last 24hrs.
Hope this helps.

As said above, you were banned for AFKing.

You will NOT get a refund, you bought it and it says for ALL purchases on the Marketplace, is there are NO refunds.

You won’t get your money back, good luck with it.

AFKing is were you enter a game, set your controller down and don’t get any kills or mainly, don’t take part in the game, and get the cR for it, its bannable and its what you got banned for.

vasi, you were banned because the ban system is jacked the muck up. It does it to me also. Just wait until you get the 2nd ban, a 2 week one. This is a wide spread problem that isn’t unknown. Oh, and this can keep up for months. We need to start a Halo Ban Clan where all the new gamers who have been pooped on can all suck together until we become epic and destroy the ban hammer with our collective awesomeness.

If it continues past tomorrow - they will lose THIS customer for sure… I’ve been wanting to give Battlefield a try anyways!!. BTW - Chase isn’t going to lose a customer that has been doing business with them for over 20 years over a $35 BS game!! Count on it!! They can review all my “tapes” for all I care – I play the game despite my abilities deficit…

SCREW THEM!! HOW DARE THEY PASS JUDGEMENT “AUTOMATICALLY”
THAT’S TOTALLY BS!!

Good luck with that - I’d rather just drive up to Redmond WA and jerk some pinhead over his desk by his tie and drag them out to the parking lot and pound the crap out of them for screwing with my life – THEN we’ll be awesome and even…

Maybe they’ll get the point…

came back from holiday had someone watching my apartment, next thing i know i log onto xbox live on reach and I’m credit banned for 2 weeks…can anyone help me with this? gamer tag: KlLLA KELLA. i know that its my responsibility etc but my account logs in automatically if you look you can see that I’m a good player and get 15-25 kills every game so there is no need for me to “cheat”

<mark>ok so I was playing halo then I turned my Xbox off and back on to play halo and it stayed that I was banned from earning credits. I don’t ask in games, even though i do quit the odd time but other than that I did nothing wrong :(</mark>

@makaydawn

Looking at you past games this month you quit consistently and quitting with a DNF by your name over 20 times will result in a Cr ban! Its unsporting to quite constantly in a game. Maybe you should find freinds on here to play with so you don’t have to go in alone to make your gaming experience more profitable.

You don’t get cR banned for quitting.

I got booted from a lobby after playing properly (lost connection to all other players or so the game says) and subsequently banned when I haven’t cheated or anything like that in any way, nor could have been perceived to be. Can anyone shed some light on this?

You lagged out of the game, Reach can’t tell the difference between a quit and a lag out.

Solution: Improve your connection, the ban is ten minutes long.

^ I can’t really improve my connection that much more than I have to be honest. Fibre optics at about 40MB and a brand new internet hub, might be the Xbox wireless adapter but it shouldn’t be that bad, should it?

And thanks for the help

It is possible something like a Microwave oven is interrupting your WiFi, either way, Wired is the way to go!

Second time bans tend to be 1-2 weeks long.

You could have been the guy who made that last second effort to put the Core into the capture point, one less player makes all the difference in Reach, regardless of what you think, you were making the game dull to play for others, you also got free cR out of it.

thank you for your help could you tell me when the ban will be lifted cause id like to advance a rank its been two weeks ive been aat the same rank cause i cant lev up
