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.
dude i havent been banned badly but thats harsh if you cheat and boost you are digracing the good names that are halo's 1,2,and 3 that also includes bungie
