A quick question Bungie, will you un-ban me because I'm super awesome :)


Erm... no?

If you were that "super awesome" you wouldnt have acquired a ban.


...too mean :(

the cone is a lie!!!

i have know idea why i was banned from erning exp on halo three. i have lost 10 points in the last week. i keep getting the pop up that sayes i have been baned from erning exp. i need help. hopefully one you you guys reading can get to talk to someone about this and help me get this overwith.
someone told me along time ago that i was "boosting". i dont know what that is. i had a frend once tell me he could get alot of exp for me, so i let hem. i dont want there to be a problem with you guys but he sayes he is sorry and it wont happen again or i will get banned for life and i dont want that to happen. send me messages on how to get out of this becase im deeply sorry about it.

Cut Short.


You know why you were banned, and the ban's not going.

Just to show you "what" caused the ban.

I played halo 3 all night last night online with friends. Ive been playing halo since the verry eairly times of halo 2 and have allways followed the rules. But when i got online today to play it told me that my account had been suspended. But i didnt do anything that would make me get suspended. In fact im not even a smack talker when im online. Is there any way that i can appeal this or atleast find out what it was that i did wrong?? ...... Any help would be much appreciated......

EDIT: I just got my email from xbox live. And it says that i was banned for feedback. Im generaly pretty nice to people on xbox live. but the other night i had a whole party of people start spamming my message box with inapropriate text messages after i beat them. and i did talk some smack to them after this started. that whole party leaving bogus feedback on me is the only thing that i can think i might have got banned for.

Account suspended? Are you 100% sure that's the message you recieved?

If so, that's most likely an xbox live ban. (From XBL)

  • 02.18.2009 1:43 PM PDT

yeah it says i was suspended. Look at the edit i made in my post for more info.

In that case, you need to either go on xbl forums, or ring them.

Your quarrel is with them.

cool thanks for the help cookie..............

  • 02.18.2009 2:37 PM PDT

dear, bungie, i feel as if i have been unjustly exp banned (not at the moment but in the past), and i would like to explain why. On a night where i was playing with two of my good friends (one of which quit xbl because of bs apparently....lol), we were playing custom games for a while but then we became bored. So i wanted to play a game of rumble pit. They agreed and said before we would play, they were going downstairs to grab some food. So i said "ok, i start it while u guys get some grub." This turned out to be a mistake apparently because i got a matchmade game extremely quick on snowbound or "boundless". It was made up of *5 players: me, my two friends (who were still getting food) and a random guy and his guest. The random guy was playing, however his guest wasn't, and i was basically playing a 1v1 against this guy. Note: Later on, the guy's guest returned and helped him go 2v1 against me (my friends still hadnt got back). Sadly, by the time my two friends returned, the game had about 45 seconds left. Anyway, long story short, i got exp banned two days later and i said wtf?? i had apparently been banned for supposedly cheating in that 1 rumble pit game. Bungie must have thought that i went into matchmaking with all four people, and throughout the actual game, was purposely killing them in order to get free exp. I believed this was a misconception, because that was the only game i played in matchmaking that night, and i didnt play at all the following day. Also, i want to say that i have obtained multiple legit 50s and i dont care about exp, so i have no reason to exp boost. Thanks for reading, hope u can fix this....my gamertag is "i am Marine5"

Quite an unbelievable story considering the tools Bungie supposedly has to indentify offenders...I'm sure cookie will be along shortly to check your game history...don't be surprised if your lie is exposed...

if this message is not read by anyone of authority i will follow-up again and again i will be heard--thank you all for your time
first off ill start by saying im so glad that bungie is doing its job and banning people while some people i know have slipped through the cracks of the fine wrath of the banhammer especially those who have boost in their name for crying out loud. but anyways i thought the banhammer didnt exist until i witnessed its majesty first hand. i just got banned tonight and with that bittersweet feeling gone numb i was banned wrongfully. i am a huge fan of the halo franchise and the work you guys have done over the years im trying to make halo machinima as well. sweet talk aside i would never fathom boosting and have told people myself not to do it. i havent disclosed my gamertag with this specific bnet account because im afraid that if i say anything that displeases it will spread to my 360 like a nasty red ring which ive also had. im almost possitive ive done nothing wrong and would appreciate if someone let me know what i have done wrong. i thought gamers could only get banned for boosting but i guess not. i wasnt even clear on the bannable conditions until i got on to my computer and checked. just a word of advice you guys there should be a list of bannable conditions that are availble from the start menu for halo 3 gamers like me who are unsure so they can view them right then and ther with a discisive read. then theyd be positive on what the conditions are. i know you have the matchmaking messages that say go to bunige dot net slash ban yatta yatta yatta we are watching you but if that person has no idea they are doing something wrong or clearly doesnt think they are doing something wrong then it defeats the purpose. ive also checked the most recently updated list (the first result that came up after i typed in the link) i know i havent manipulated the network or software nor fraud important-----> i think this is why i got banned i played around 14 games with random "friends" on xbox live with their guests and my guests which could have easily been misunderstood as me among others whom im sure got the message to that we're boosting xp which would be a valid assumption i wiil admit that medals were boosted not xp boosting medals is not illegal i checked and nobodys experience was being ruined we all agreed to get certain medal that wouldnt affect the final outcome of the game for ex. we would get spree medals and get mostly all the same kills except for those who already attained them in our party and fight normally after that no xp boosting involved. i was hunting yorick as well but i didnt cheat it and got it legitimate even though one of the kids i was boosting medals with was in the game. and if youre having fun with friends where is the boundry were "just having fun with friends" turns into bannable conditions if no boosting is involved? other important side notes include the fact that i have never quit 2 consequtive games in a row nor have i deranked or gone negative with my xp. to anyone who read this who has authority thank you for your time. : )

This thread is awesome. Hats off to cookie and the guys who find good evidence for liars.

I made a post on page 92 of this thread about my friend DxUxSxTxIxN losing his Recon armor for an unknown reason. Nobody posted about it, so I assume people ignored it.

Did anybody read it?

Is this not the right place to post this? Dustin and I still really want to know.

I have resorted to never playing with the guy that could have gotten him banned. Because I don't want anything to do with that.

Thanks

I've been kind of curious about this, when your banned does it mean you are prevented from going on xbox live while playing halo 3? and how far can the duration actually go? with the degree that is, I'm not saying I'll test my luck but I"ve just gotten halo 3 and have other friends asking the same question on what will happen counting on we know people who've been banned.

Thanks for the comment =]

I replyed to your post aswell, the community cant do anything about why people lost recon armour, that's something a bungie employee will have to tell you/your friend.

When you recieve the ban (I'm assuming your on about the exp ban) you can still play halo 3 online, but you wont recieve any exp in matchmaking.

First offense is a 2 week ban, second offense varies from a month to a perm.

Good luck and have fun online.

So i am posting on here because earlier today my brother received a message from you bungie saying that he was banned for halo 3 online for 3 months and for 1 week of matchmaking. Which makes no sense. From other friends the first offense is 1 week ban of matchmaking and it was his first offense. GT is AttackingMilk. He was deleveling for some reason idk. But i believe u are just in banning him for the supposed 1 week. I'm just trying to clarify if its 1 week or 3 months of no matchmaking and if its only acct specific or whole xbox ban. Also when I tried to sign onto my new acct Craigx0 it said that my acct was banned from halo 3 online for 3 months and i didnt do anything. I would greatly appreciate an answer on this.
