My suggestion is: Forget EXP just go play the game and have fun.

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

I support Cookie, if you have genuinely nothing to hide and knowingly haven't been breaking the terms of use then you have nothing to fear. Becoming abusive to another member of the community is both pointless and unproductive.

Throughout this thread Cookie has been digging into people's game history and finding facts contained within. He will be giving virtually the same answer as Shishka, in terms of where / what you did wrong.

If you cannot accept the facts then do not become abusive towards him (and other members) it simply means that you have been caught out (if you have knowingly broken the terms of use) Just sit back and accept the punishment that comes with the ban and learn from it.

im not sure if this thread is only for exp banning, or if complaining about any banning is allowed, but my complaint is about being fully banned from halo 3 matchmaking permanently.

I know you hear this all the time, but i feel my case is special. You might not believe me at first because everyone that gets banned complains, but I truly believe I am innocent. I got a message after a game where everybody on the other team quit out after the game was locked in, and the message said my gamertag had been banned permanently from halo 3 matchmaking and my console was banned from halo 3 matchmaking for 1 week. I spent hundreds of hours earning many 50's on my account and I was horrified and confused when I saw the message. Now I have never cheated in any way such as host booting or lag cheating and whatnot. I also realize that it is an automated system that has a microscopic chance of being incorrect. With all machines though there must be some chance that there was a mistake. If you could at least explain why I was banned I might feel more ok with the situation, but at the moment I feel mistreated and unfairly punished. Also since I know I am innocent, if you cannot find any reason for my banning I would like to know if it would be at all possible to undo or take off the permanent ban on my gamertag. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated and thank you ahead for your time and effort for helping me.

You have multiple empty fileshare slots, which I can assume were probably modded content, which could have easily given you a matchmaking ban. Tell me if you had modded content on your fileshare at any time, because then I won't need to go through your game history.

Modded content could be a modded map or picture.

Boosting any achievement is against the rules.

Is it illegal? No; you won't be getting a visit from the F.B.I.

nope I got file share banned on my other account like 3 or 4 months ago and since then I removed any files that I thought might have been suspicious at all.

Lol! That was brilliant RIOT GIRL, well said, cookie's just out 2 piss people off. He denied my friends innocence about a permanent ban and he got his account unbanned like a day after. So much for cookies facts being right ay? Man anyone who thinks what cookie is doing is good thing clearly didnt get raised properly. We come on this forum to seek help not to be blamed for something we mite or mite not have done. Please Cookie and any1 else of his silly followers say something construcive to these people that want help.

Cheers
P.S HA HA Cookie you were wrong!

Will bans change the fact that EVERYONE will be able to unlock recon?

I remember a while ago in a weekly update that someone said that anyone who has been banned will be unable to unlock recon "even if we* hand it out to the whole world"

"we" being whatever group of people hands out recon.

I just want to know if Bungie will still uphold this statement or if they will truly let everyone who gets the vidmaster achievements to unlock recon.

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.

Shishka,Where have you been all my halo life ?

  • 12.08.2008 4:49 AM PDT

Like i got banned for no reason for 2 weeks and i don't even know why logged on and it just said that i was banned and i was just playing the day before and the next day i was banned for some reason still yet unknown why

The game that you referenced doesn't really have a problem. One person quit so their guest had to quit.
