I am a Sangheili, we show no mercy, and we never will.

I know this isn't an EXP ban, but I feel that I was wrongly permabanned from my fileshare. I know it was a bad picture, but when I tried to stop it the server wouldn't let me. The server failed to load, and I could not stop the upload. When I left the lobby it was too late....... Please hear me out.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Because the server acts fast.

Serious, if you knew why did you even put it up?

It was just a joke to my friend, but I couldn't stop it. I guess its my fault, but I've seen people with 2 or 3 modded pics in their fileshare, and NOTHING.....

Where did that ban thread go...

Remember, it's not a joke to bungie, and thats what counts.

If you see a modded picture, you've gotta make sure it is one, some do look convincing.
Also, modded content gets deleted fairly quickly off fileshares.

To Shishka:
ok well first of all i just bought Halo 3 about less than a week ago because my friends kept bugging me about playing with them and that it was a good game. I havent played Halo since the first one so i thought hey why not. After i beat the story mode i began playing online in matchmaking i never cared about gamerscore or achievements it was just all about fun. I never herd about Bungie or anything like that because all i ever played was gears and i wanted a lil change. Once i started all my friends were on but they said we were short people!!!
Then they told me that i can add guest if i had extra remotes so i did because i didnt know anything was wrong. To break this down short we were all having fun and getting achievements then i get a message saying im banned from earning EXP points so im like what the hell i just started. I dont have any other accounts i have never boosted before and as i know you can check i barely have any EXP points so please if you can unban me and let me get some more points and rank up at least before ODST comes out i beat the game and cant enjoy it if i cant rank up. I never knew that playing with some friends in a big party can lead to being banned. I got the game to have fun not to cheat and earn something i dont deserve.

p.s. I give my appolygies to all those gamers that earned there stuff. I read the rules on Bungie before writing this and i now understand so if you can please do me the favor and let me keep enjoying the game and earn my way up before ODST!!

THANK YOU

Well It looks to me like you are boosting.....I should say "were" boosting. You played Rumble Pit with the same People over and over, while playing someone always got something over a killtacular. This Data begs to differ that you weren't boosting. Low EXP doesn't necessarily mean you weren't boosting In fact it promotes it, when you quit games you lose EXP you have played over 100 ranked and social games and you only have 50 or so EXP. You have quit over half your games thus basically you told on yourself in plead for an unban.

Yeah, barely any EXP is basically a characteristic of (one form of) boosting.

you'll just have to wait for the ban to be lifted, and never do it again.

No but you did agree to rules before even playing that mirror exactly what rules you broke. Honest ignorance is not an excuse.

Has anyone gotten banned over just one game of achievement boosting?

  • 09.12.2009 2:37 AM PDT

If your never sure if a post has sarcasm or not, my posts are cooked in pot of sarcasm, has sarcastic filling added to it, and then has lots of little sarcastic sprinkles put on top.

Jony 08, On page 3 of your relatively short Halo history there are some serious medal boosting games. Its not just one but several in a row.

Like This One
This One
This One
Oh Look Another One

Should i go on. You got banned for medal boosting or being a part of a group who were medal boosting. In future, play the game it was meant to be played.

i guess you dont understand the point i just got the game then played with my friends i didnt know it was boosting and didnt see any rules about playing with friends. plus if they didnt want a bunch of people having fun and playing with a party of 8 on social then they just should make it max party of four and the rest we have to look for. but all you guys care about is look here and look there just enjoy the damn game you nerds alli did was buy the game and enjoyed it 3 days later im banned for something i didnt know i did. you guys gotta be less -blam!- about S#$%!!!!!

There were plenty of warnings on what boosting is, via the site and ongame itself, ignorance is not an excuse, also, why should they limit the party to 4 when lots of people enjoy going in with 8 people that dont cheat

I know, I know, exact same thing happened to me. Wait out the ban and just move on.

By the way, the two-week EXP ban was the warning.
