You do the crime, you do the time. I would be quite surprised that after 3000 games of matchmaking you wouldn't of noticed all the warnings by the tip section about the rule againts innapropriate content in fileshares.

You should of known better as well. Don't worry, you learn through experience.

My complainants are kinda different from exp... but they regard my privilege of gaining access to file share. If you don't care Bungie you cant stop reading right about now... ok so heres the story and I'm not exaggerating. On a sunny afternoon about 8 months ago I was playing a map called avalanche with some friends. Now these friends where playing a modified map after 30 minutes pass my character did a somewhat strange pose (i call it the karate stance) . So i decided to take a screen shot of the character. after the picture was taken, i uploaded it onto file share. Within a split second Daddy i spy 007 was ban permanently from file share! thanking that this was some sort of a mistake I tried this on my other account called i spy 007 same results. so now I'm here after my third message I believe, waiting for a response from you... so If it is possible I would like to speak with further more regarding this issue?

One more question, when ODST comes out will both of my accounts be ban including my dad's? this punishment for this unknown cause is really effecting my dad lol =(

Thats probably why you are not recieving any responses.

Perm ban is perm, your fileshare(s) will be banned till the end of time, or 7/7/7777, which ever comes first.

I had great times on the flood but it isn't fair to you guys for me to spam there when i get bored. This is really hard to say but i think it's time to say goodbye. This recent ban i got has showed me that. You have all made me laugh and i have even met some new friends, just know that this place you have is something really special i didn't ever seem to appreciate. Farewell you crazy bastards, i havent teared up in a long time......Giraff95 signing out for a time unknown. :)

im not banned but in doubles i got macthed with boosters and got perfection because they were just standing there

  • 08.08.2009 5:30 PM PDT

If you've been EXP banned, and you believe yourself to be innocent, post here. But first, let's get some nonsense out of the way:

- If you're cheating to get Achievements, you're still cheating. The banhammer is aimed at the behavior, not the intent. "I was just trying to get Yorick" won't get you out of the EXP ban.
- No, people aren't getting banned just because they play a lot with their friends. There's a difference between boosting and actually playing with friends, and we can tell the difference.
- If you haven't been banned, you won't see a message that says you have. Be careful that you did not confuse what we call the "nag message" that we introduced after TU2 with a ban message. Don't try to stir people up by claiming to be unjustly banned when you are not.
- All EXP bans given out so far are considered "first offense" bans. Two weeks is the duration for a first offense. The degree and duration of ban increases if you're caught cheating 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.
- If you are "not sure" if you've been banned, then you haven't been. People who get banned are notified very clearly.

That should cover it. Post away! Keep it civil. People who get belligerent about their ban, especially when it's justified, are just going to get themselves in more trouble.

[Edit] One other thing: This is now the ONLY thread for discussion on EXP bans. Any new threads created to argue a ban will get locked.
Hi!

I just got banned today and i have no idea why. I have never exp boosted, boosted for achievements, or quit out of games repeatedly. Can someone explain why this happened plz?

  • 08.11.2009 12:38 AM PDT

I was gonna try to appeal my recent Two week EXP ban, but then i finally saw this post and how it said "No cheating for Acheivements" thing, but Bungie, could you PLEASE put that in the http://www.bungie.net/ban page? cuz i only got the impression only the things listed would get you banned, i was helping a friend try and get perfection and yeah i realized it was considered EXP boosting since we were messing around to kill time during the matches that wernt Mythic. I know of alot of ppl who find friends to do acheivements like that. Basicly in my opinion, and dont take this the wrong way, but thats what ur gonna get being able to put in full parties in social and having the acheivments in Social.

Sorry for violating the rules, just wish i knew b4 hand that it WAS a rule. but seriously update that Banhammer page cuz u could possibly make along of ppl upset like me by banning ppl for things they didnt even know were bannable offenses.

Ppl i asked look at http://www.bungie.net/ban for the ban rules, not forums.

Beauty without intelligence, is like a masterpiece painted on a napkin.

I helped my friend getting achievements in Halo 3. I allready had the achievements, so I didn't get them. Banhammer thought we were boosting exp. allthough we did it in action sack and I got a 2 week exp. ban. It's gone now, but I read the Bungie.net/ban before we did it, and I couldn't see anything about achievement-boosting. Also I didn't know at all that helping my friend get achievements was cheating. Like, what's in it for me? I don't get medals, my K/D gets badder, I don't get any achievements, and I don't get exp. since we did it in action sack. I think I was rather unfairly punished, as I couldn't foresee it either, as it wasn't mentioned in the rules, at least for my gamertag.

Yeah thats exactly what happened to me, i had th acheivements, although we wernt playing in action sack. but i think i got blind sided by that ban cuz it wasnt listed on that page

You should check out Zero Studios sometime,it's actually pretty fun.There aren't even trolls there,surprisingly...

There are messages in Matchmaking that tell you not to boost for achievements.They are in the game,in the weekly updates,on the front page and on the forum.
You are doing something you know is wrong,why would you be surprised?

I haven't seen the warnings for achievement-bosting once in Halo 3, and I don't read every Bungie Weekly Updates. Your arguments is no excuses, Bungie should clearly put it in their ban page, saying that both boosting achievement and helping a friend getting achievements even if you got nothing to win, only to loose on it, you will get banned.

It just doesn't make sense. It's like getting put in jail for two weeks for being a witness to a murder.

But you do get put in jail for being an accomplice to murder, and in this case you were being an accomplice to achievement boosting.

if its an IP ban just get a different IIP adress which is like a new internet connection... get a new provider

Photographers are sexy.

Oh wow I laughed so hard when I saw this. I'm still expecting to to see bunches of threads on this daily. Oh well, it's probably unavoidable nonetheless, I mean, look how many BR threads you still see.

But still a good post, I'm sure it will cut back, and the more intelligent (If an intelligent person can be banned...) people read this first.
