Where did that ban thread go...

Hey, I've recently been banned for quitting out of games, which is fair but I was wondering...
Can you get banned for quitting out of rumble pit as you quitting does not affect anyone else and you don't lose exp so you can't boost.


Yup, you can still get banned from quitting in a FFA.

Although you arn't affecting anyone, to the banhammer it is considered as 'De-ranking'.

"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"

My brother's account (Robasen and mine were banned today from EXP gaining. We had absolutely no idea achievement boosting was cheating. We play very casually and we're sorry we unintentionally crossed the line.

Even though this part doesn't matter, our intents were completely innocent and we thought we were being geniuses (not cheaters).

So is it possible that you can take away all achievements and EXP earned while we participated in this process so we can resume our brother rivalry?

I am so sorry we messed up and it was our faults and it will NEVER happen again. Thank you for reading.

suk a dick and have a nice day

bungie isnt always right get that through yalls sick controlling minds. your a bunch of losers who think you can do what ever you want bc the game you created is one of the best first person shooters ever, and believe it or not some people dont actually cheat. Maybe they have a friend that sucks at halo and cant score a kill playing, we shouldnt get penalized for what you believe is cheating?

Protip: Bungie can see more than you. Including the fact that the player did not move/was rubberbanded.

Hey okay so I was banned for playing with my friend who host boots and I was banned for a week. I then was banned permenatly right after so I am wondering if I should of had the regular week-month-3 month- perm because I am sick of MLG anyways and have accepted that I am level locked and that cheating wont help. I know you get messages like this all the time but I dont know what to say. I -blam!- up, but that account means so much to me I just think I should get the normal 1-3 month ban first. PS will this affect my ability to play reach or the reach beta. thanks if you even read this.

RvB forever.

yeah i got banned for going into rumble pit and getting achievements. It sucks but i'd much rather get banned for 2 weeks than forever. Don't get mad at the system people, get mad at yourself. :P

When I was playing matchmaking with my brother and I and two friends on xbox live we got a message on our screen saying "You have been banned from getting exp for two weeks". At the time my mom was on the computer on netflix making us lag real bad. Could that have been mistaken as network manipulating, because I wasn't trying to lag on purpose. Also how do I find out what I was banned for or else I will never learn after my mistake(if i even did anything wrong). Please let me know why I was banned!

Hi, My account o00ooo0000zzy was recently exp banned for 2 weeks because i quit out of a few team doubles games, the only reason i quit out of them however was because my teammates quite and/or were betraying me! i dont want to play TEAM doubles alone, and certainly not with a teammate continuously committing suicide/betraying me/lowering my shields!!
I dont understand why i would get banned for quitting when im getting victimised by derankers and team killers. This is not fair bungie, please remove my ban, Do some digging u will see that i only quit games if my team mate quit or betray/weakened my shields.

I'm JP, and I am a nine month veteran of the Dropshock Brigade. My interests are not only in gaming but sports and hobbies such as football, hockey, airsoft, and baseball. I started playing Halo when I was four years old, and I hoping that Halo 4 will become a great game and successor to the previous halos.

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.


someone should put it on the top with the other 4
