Something a wise SGM once told me...
50% of all scientists disagree with the other 50%.

Okay, so what are the punishable offenses again?

- As is said on http://www.bungie.net/ban, it is not our problem if it is your brother, cousin, best friend, mom, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, or kitten that got your console banned. If it turns out that your gamertag is suffering from their wrongdoing, that is an issue you'll have to take up with them.


LOL. I lol'd that a kitten can be presumed guilty.

Help be part of the solution,

make the halo 3 community a better place for everyone

I'm not sure that i have this right or not, but its my understanding that a matchmaking ban and an exp are different things right?

a MM ban bans you from MM of course

but does a exp ban you from just gaining experience?

Me an My friends all signed in guests with our back-up controllers to get "double double" and "came...from...behind"...
After we got the achievements we went back to playing normally, and didn't try to get each other EXP, (I even let my little brother play on my controller, because I didn't want to sign it out before the match ended.) or anything to make our rank go higher.

I only ask because the xbox live offline thing makes it so I can't see if I'm banned or not, obviously.

What, is that a bannable offense?

If so, oh well, at least I still have custom games ^_^

You mean campaign co-op!

They ban you from matchmaking and custom games.

people are not being banned because of achievment boosting (Mircrosoft and bungie stated this is not a bannable offense unless savefile swaping. they are being banned for EXP boosting, which seems to be an unfortunate side effect of achievement boosting as they are attainable in unranked playlists.
By the way, Bungie employees are not gods so people, stop acting like they are. They are game deveopers and you are paying customers. they work for you and you pay their checks. lets keep things in perspective. no disrespect meant to bungie, some of these folks posting here are total lapdogs, its kinda embarassing.

I have a few questions that needs answering...
•Were "Banning Raisins" once "Banning Grapes"?
•How were said Raisins used to ban people? Was it a form of a Stoning but with grapes or raisins?
•Is Banadu the dog house of the Ban Puppy, where he consumes Ban-Chow consisting of Ban raisins?

What if I got banned for just messing around in one matchmaking gametype with a whole bunch of quests. If we did that and just killed them a whole bunch of times can that be considered boosting even though I did it because I was bored and I couldn't join any of my friends in custom games.

why does bungie care if people are messing with a meaningless number that people are just making even more meaningless?

btw, way to quote futurama in the title


If was as meaningless as you'd like to imply, people wouldn't "mess" with it.

Don't spam this thread. I've already blacklisted two people for stupid "first post" and "first page" comments. If you have nothing to contribute to the topic of the thread, do the smart thing and don't post.


I hope this is not off topic. It does have to do with EXP. After TU1 i've been disconnecting from games very frequently (i might say twice per session/per day). In all honesty i've only quit twice in my entire Halo 3 career... do to the fact you lose EXP. Now, when i disconnect i lose 1 EXP. Is there a way Bungie can tell the difference between disconnecting from the game and quiting. Also, is there anything I can do to fix this problem. Please advice. Thanks.

I got on yesterday and it said i was banned. i havent played in a week. my son said him and his friends were playing and after a couple games it said they were banned. it seems rather dumb to ban someone when they havent been cheating. i was all excited about the new achievements but the new update seems to have caused more problems. release the new maps and leave the rest of the game alone while you still have people willing to play it. in my 1000 games i have never been cheated against by any other player, until now. i have been cheated by bungie. ban yourself

I mean it's meaningless because, as a result of boosting, it doesn't truly show skill

yeah. if you boost just to be a general then you must be bad at halo.

I really hate to fall into the same thing, but can you guys stop spamming this thread and adhere to the title of it? If you're posting here, and you know you're not banned, or unsure if you are... this is not the right place. I'd like to read more false claims of innocence proven by Bungie staff, not some nerd browsing through pages of games just to "own" and chastise some guy.

I dont think you get banned for no reason you might have done it but didnt mean to and they just got mixed up and thought you were trying to boost EXP.
Its will only be a 2 week banned for EXP thats what some people were telling me. So everyone that reads this rember if u boost you will get caught so K33P I7 C134N
