Subject: The only "omg I gut EXP banned for NO RAISON" thread

The legend lives on.

Hypermnesia n An exceptionally exact or vivid memory, especially as associated with certain mental illnesses.

Sapphire.

i got banned from gaining exp. for two weeks for achievement boosting (and i apologize, bungie, you guys are awesome, and i wont do it again).

but is it possible for bungie to crack down on skill level boosters and those that sell and buy 50s? i mean, thats a little more serious than exp or achievement boosting(not to belittle what i did; it was wrong and once again i apologize). i come across booster nearly every game in doubles. those of you that play dubs can attest to that.

I saved some video of a few people blatantly cheating (a 3 Ball game wherein a guy from the red team kills a guy with a ball, gives it to a guy from the blue team, throws a bubble shield around him and then defends him from the green and yellow teams.) I mean, people who do this kind of thing are obviously teh suck at Halo and need cheatage to obtain even the most paltry of level, so I'm not overly concerned with their lamesauce, but how do I stick it to these Gruntmunchers?

And seriously, do people who boost really not expect to get caught? There's video of every multiplayer game ever played readily available, what the hell do they think they're going to accomplish? Eventually, someone is going to be miffed about getting cheated out of hard-earned EXP/Skill and report them (like I'm doing now.)

You might have gotten banned for something you did previously. It may have been back a few games, or it might have been complaints filed that caught up to you.

And as far as boosting goes I'm finished with it. I got a two week ban awhile back that was painful. Every game I won during that time counted for nothing. It's a terrible feeling that all your wins count for nothing. So let me just say Boosting isn't worth it.

I havent been banned or anything but if you were to get banned and you prove your innocence, can you still get recon? And even if you do the vidmasters will that person still be banned from recon? If so that would suck for them.

Consider this mercy.

If it was up to me, or other members of the community that dispise cheaters, i'm sure you'd never see your account/xbox on matchmaking again.

What's the most important part of a joke?
I am a brigadier, and i developed the game Halo 3 with only a sledgehammer and a science kit i got for my birthday. I love snapple, its delicious and nutritious, and i am able to play shotty snipers while simultaneously hippin and hoppin and pippin and poppin and goin and flowin to the motion of the ocean.


Timing

i just purchased a new airport and i hooked it up with my xbox, although it turned out to be a faulty one and we get a new one sent to us in 5 days. because of this, i have had to use the faulty airport, which makes me lag alot, and has lagged me out of several games. i'm not sure why i got banned for a week from matchmaking, but its most likely because of this, seeing as i've always been a good citizen of bungie and never have done anything wrong. is there any way i can lift the unjust ban, and wait till i get my new airport to play, so i wont get lagged out?

by the way, this was in fact due to connection, i was NOT quitting out, and does this mean even if i get the vidmaster achievements i dont get recon, just because i have a bad airport?

rumble pit me and my firend went into matchmaking he had 1 guest and i had 1 guest so that would of made 4 players but there is two more player we had to matchmake with so we made a plan that whoever matchmakes with us we will not do anything so we would tie for third place to get exp. we did that for 30 games then thos one time i match make with a girl as the other person she leaves the game then i got banned i think she reproted me but not my firend bungie i need you to ban my firend too because i can't be the only one who dosn't get the stuff. i did the exp cheating thing because it was like the first day the new acheivements came out and i wanted the vidmaster lightswitch achevement. the last game i played was snowbound thats when the message came up. so my firend quit then i quit the game then that game was forever lost. here is the game before that game http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=764022 457&player=SweeterRobert so i want the right thing to happen ban him to DtS aLL DaY. just go back in history before that game and see all we cheated.

Thats not how it works, at all. Your friend will be banned if he is guilty of the same actions as you.

The system is supposedly better than that. Your story is fishy to begin with. So far, I don't believe any ban has been rescinded. I wouldn't count on yours being any different.

Ok, here we go.

On your first page of game history, you have a 52% quit percentage, that shouldnt be happening.

On your second page of game history, you have a 76% quit percentage, that shouldnt be happening either.

Even if you werent quitting out all them games, you should have stopped playing matchmaking untill the problem was sorted.

Also, with the airport, it seem's to have "security issues" with xbox live
(WPA problems, and strict settings)

As with the recon, untill shishka reply's towards my message, I cannot confirm anything.

One game wont mean anything, I've done it myself, having to leave a game/xbox on, to go do something important.

My Ban is up tomorrow and i'm missing out on Team Flag double exp, man i'm pissed, but at any rate I have a few questions before i get underweigh again.

Don't tell me to read www.bungie.net/ban cause i'm staring at it right now...

"Types of violations include, but are not limited to..."

Great.

"Skill or XP Boosting, deleveling, cheating or any other type of unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior."

Ok so I got the idea about the deleveling, no more leaving games, I mean it happens, but i'm not going to leave by means of deleveling. I understand that.

Skill boosting, now i have a random theory or idea about that, in accounts to a totally different idea. When i start playing again i will most likely make a new toon and start from scratch, which means i slaughter my way to around 35-40. People have reported me for this because they have told me so, and on the grounds of "your not playing at your skill level."

Is slaughtering threw ranks going to get me in trouble?

Also does anyone know if my -42 exp from this gamertag logged as my xbox console being -42? Cosidering i have over 1000 wins on my other accounts on the xbox, does that cancel out the -42? and as long as i don't leave again repeatedly, and am not reported for leaving i'm in the clear?

I understand that might have sounded confusing,
Does my recent ban make me a subject of monitoring for the rest of my Halo3 experience?

"unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior."

This one really confuses me, Online games ever since their exsistence have been full of foul language, harassment, and racisim. Therefore in a way making that sociable for a first person shooter. Now, dont get me wrong i'm not one of those people. I only go nuts with the cussing and such when teamates are being truly unbearable.

You can get banned if enough people report your bad languge?

bla bla bla had more to say but the gf got home

Slaughtering through ranks theoretically isn't going to get you in trouble but is frowned on within the community.

Your second question is a really good question that I am not positive on. Regardless the way the system works everybody is under constant supervision of the "banhammer." The only way to refrain from more punishment is to stop habitual quitting.

Yes you can get banned for "bad language" reports according to Bungie's posting.
