Subject: The only "omg I gut EXP banned for NO RAISON" thread

I speak without sound, but my word is law...

To be honest, I feel as if I was banned for reason, but alas, I am not sure as to who I am supposed to take this up with. I haven't posted here on Bungie before though I have had an account...

Still being honest, I do have two Xbox 360's in my house, but before anyone jumps to conclusions, I wasn't nor have been boosting in any way. I know I was playing a match on Isolation when I got the EXP ban and I'm confused as to why.

It was me, and two friends (a total of 3) on one console, and more of my XBL friends and were just in the middle of this match (which was unforgettable because I had just pulled of one of the most epic headshots on one of my friends as he was boosting on a Ghost) and as we were all "hoopin' and hollerin'" I get the message on my screen and we were all like "WTF?!"

As of this message I have found out that the other friends I was playing with on this match also ended up getting the EXP ban. Odd. They say you get banned for boosting, but won't get banned for continuously winning or continuously losing, or partying up with friends without the intention of cheating or boosting. That's exactly what we were doing... Just having a fun time.

After looking through the details of this site and the info about it, I don't understand how Bungie can claim that this process, though automatic, is basically flawless because as I see it, it's obviously pretty flawed.

I just feel that there should be another process to figure out who/how someone is cheating and getting banned when in my mind (and my friends) were doing nothing wrong. We're just all puzzled as to what we did to get such a message.

Hmm.
You said you were banned during a game of Isolation.
Are you still banned?
Because, looking through your Recently Played games, it seems you have played a few games of Rumble Pit recently...

Its because there were always guests that never played during the entire game. I looked over your Rumble Pit games and the entire time there were always 3-4 guests owned by you guys who never played. Because of this you were always in the top 3 and ALWAYS gained EXP after every game no matter what you scored because there were only 3 people playing. That is considered XP boosting.

Ah, I see... That explains much... Like I said, I've been a member here for a while, just haven't posted anything and haven't heard of this, but I won't use that as an excuse. Thanks to you, I know what's really going on now...

omg i was banned for no raison thanks bungie.
translated.

as for the ban description at the top of this page... It says right on the front page of this thread that the Banhammer is aimed at the behavior, not the intent. You may not have wanted to EXP boost, but you still did.

My brother. He boosted the achievements and got the ban. I suffer it too because the ban affects the whole console >:(

The system isnt flawed, untill a flaw has been found, it shalt remain flawless.

There the boosting goes
There the booting goes again.
Lyrical posting
Is rather amasing.

Side note: Next few pages of rumble pit boosting, "o' hai' there".

Canada isn't that important that it needs two of the same threads on page one.

I just want my damn fileshare back. And why would Duardo link me here for fileshare bans? Shishka I think we need a "OMG i gut FS banned for NO RAISON" thread. Why boost? Just play the game.

No need, all ban related questions, reasonings, tales and lies can be told here.

I would really like a reply back.
All right here is my situation... I have just finished forging on sandbox and than I am permabanned. Now I know you get permabanned if your manipulating matchmaking,are boosting or getting banned in short periods over and over again. I have not done any of this I was only forging on sandbox. I also won the ODST screenshot contest a while back so I know I can't have done anything bad in the past otherwise I would have been blacklisted from the competition. Since then I have not done anything ban worthy. I have never ever been banned on any grounds not even for a week.

I have seen others complaining about how they have suddenly found themselves Permabanned after forging in Sandbox, this is my situation too as I stated earlier. I really hope I did nothing wrong.

I can not even play custom games or forge... if I did do something wrong (unbeknown to me of course) surely I did not deserve the same ban that network manipulators deserve.

Oh and I have never been banned before or even had one warning.

I've been matchmaking banned on halo 3 because my friend was xp boosting in doubles he's been banned, he's guilty. But because i let him use my license transfer about a month ago leading to me also being banned, but I've done nothing wrong. check my Bungie record / recent games. can give the names of those he boosted with.

Thanks.

Sigh...

Hi I have just been recently banned for Exp boosting. I know that I wasnt though. Im not going to lie and say I wasnt doing anything. I did get a few of my friends and hooked up controllers to get 13 players in the living dead playlist. Our goal was to get the Mmmmm Brains medal for our medal chest and also to hear the announcer say Mmmmm Brains. Sadly the announcer does not say anything because the game will just say Round over. but we were all happy to just get it as lame as it sounds. We had tried for 5 games because we did not always start as a zombie. The medal would otherwise be pretty much impossible to get because there is 10 humans and 3 zombies. Killing all 10 humans and not dying is unlikely. So right after we finished I had moved on and played some team mythic games. During around the 3rd game it said I was banned from getting exp and also letting me get killed because I couldnt move. I know ownage on bungies part, haha. So heres my most recent list of games.

http://www.bungie.net/stats/PlayerStatsHalo3.aspx?player=Mast erJT v2

The last 5 living dead games were the ones we were going for the medal since it was our last day to try it. But you can see that I played living dead for the weekend and no exp boosting. In fact my highest exp gametype is rumble pit at 120 exp. Hope bungie can help me out here. If what I did is considered exp boosting then I will take the punishment. But like I said our intention was not to boost for Exp.
