You can argue semantics all you want. You didn't know the "new" policy regarding modded content in the fileshare that doesn't excuse you from the rules hence the saying, "Ignorance is not an excuse." My account still stands that you weren't critical enough when Bungie removed items from your fileshare instead of saying, "Why would I think that Bungie removed it, if I KNEW it was alright?" you should have been thinking "there must be a reason these things are not on my fileshare anymore," the failure to be critical the situation again doesn't excuse you from the rules. The removal of said items should have at a minimum made you question what exactly you "knew." Bungie removed modded content and you posted them again. It is bannable, you were rightfully banned.


But like I said, I had NO warnings. NOTHING to tell me that Bungie would be removing the files on their own.

Just because the file was removed, I'm not going to automatically think that: Rules changed, Bungie removed the files, I'm going to get banned.

Damn, the file was not in my fileshare. I thought that it may have just removed itself, being a mod and all. I never dealt with mods before, so when something different from the usual happened, I figured that it would be normal for the mods. After reading that it WAS OK, thinking that it WASN'T OK would be the last thing on my mind!


You claiming to have this knowledge of it being ok it faulty at the onset of this discussion. You have no proof. All we do have that is concrete is what the rules state now. You say that you weren't going to think something being removed, something that is not a natural occurrence, meant something was wrong with the content. I am saying that this is precisely where you weren't critical enough. You shouldn't have thought "modded content removes itself" what kind of logic is that? The fact that something was the "last thing on your mind" Doesn't cancel out your just ban. You erred on two counts. Having modded content in the first place which to my knowledge has never been condoned by Bungie and not being critical of the removal of said content, after all has anybody heard of content removing itself?

I believe that i was wrongly exp banned for 2 weeks. i believe it was due to nuemerous games today were my connection dropped and kickeed everyone resulting in a win for me.

(although not actualy a win. no EXP. and the players werent kicked it actualy separated our games. in one instanc ei was in a party with my friends and then it said they left the game and party. and so did the whole enemy team except one guy. but i was still talking to my team in party chat and apparently they were still in the match. and it had said that I had left.)

i dont know whats going on with my connection today it has been really wierd and i think the auto detect system might have mistaken me for a lagg switcher or something. which if u look at the game history is clearly not the case.

PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BUNGIEEEE!

Click this... then click on "older game".... yep

Bungie can automatically detect if players signed in are not playing. If you are in a game with these players it is considered boosting... The string of games that caused the ban http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=100640 6457&player=rampageturke

Enjoy the ban.

He cocked his head as the symbols and numbers scrolled across the NAV console. The representations of Slipspace vectors and velocity curves twisted across the screen-tantalizingly familiar. He'd seen them somewhere before-but he could not make the connection.

this thread always gives me lulz

bad mythic achievements boosting andy collins, nelly6668, savage wolf, and cheeky jackal all boosted mythic achievements and andy collins got a katana by doing it
boosting game 1
boosted game 2
boosted game 3
boosted game 4
thats all that i could be bothered typing in the url's but just check andy collins' recent games and any where he has a guest and where nelly 6668 has a guest then it has been boosted so i think he should be banhammered for boosting nearly every achievement on halo 3 that he has got an exception to the campaign ones

"It's 108 miles to chicago, we got a full tank o' gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, it's raining... and we're wearing sunglasses...

I shouldn't worry about it, I mean Bungie would easily catch on even without you rambling on about it. No offence.

lies

there is no penalty for quitting rumble pit.\

You didn't get banned for quitting you got banned for taking part in boosting.

You do know we can see your games right?

Going in with guests who aren't playing is boosting

Ever since I came to this thread to ask if I'd get banned ive always stuck around because it was interesting to hear about these kind of things.


I have a friend who was actually thinking about doing "boosting" but then I read about it here and found out that you could get banned for it. =:-0 So I warned him and now its all good.

Does Bungie actually have a list of what can get you banned? if so, it doesn't seem very promenent.

I think if your caught achievement boosting you should be banned!! As in 3 month ban!! The penalties are far too lean!!! I really hate cheaters!!
