No. No I don't. Read the first page of this thread. In any case, if these ban-getting behaviors are such a nuisance, the simple solution is to create an "Achievement Dorks" playlist in which people can play games for 0 EXP and get their achievements together without "ruining" others online experience. As far as EXP boosting, why does it matter if someone who sucks wants a 50 and then gets raped every time they play a legit game? The ranking system is totally worthless, anyway. There are ways to correct issues like these without banning thousands of people from playing a game that they've paid for (along with DLC). Period.



Maybe you should read the first post again. This thread was meant to be a place for the banned to complain about being banned "unjustly" so they wouldn't clog up the forums. No where in the first post did Shishka promise to answer any and all questions concerning bans. That is a function that some members (mainly cookie) took up just because he/she (sorry cookie) felt like it.


ghostworm, it's pretty clear that you haven't read the fine print. You bought the game, eys, that doesn't give you free reign to do whatever you feel like. And when you see posts like hi I'm 4shot's, where he's all "I got banned for no reason" and then a few posts later is like, "well, there was that time I boosted," you can expect people to be fairly harsh on people coming into this thread.

If you're doing dumb stuff, expect bad things to happen. End. Of. Story.

I'd like to first remind you that this thread is for people who have been banned. At least we can agree on that, right? So all the a-holes in here posting all the time that haven't been banned are clearly misunderstood as to why this thread exists, and don't belong. It's not the "OMG I luv Shishka's ballz and H8 N00b's lol" thread. I don't have to understand people being harsh. There's no reason for it. It solves nothing (like this thread). And in regards to 4shot's post, he said he had been banned, understood why, but then was perm-banned and claimed not to know why, which is a valid reason to post here. I don't know if he is justly or unjustly banned in your mind or by Bungie's terms, but half the replies to his post are just pathetic, unconstructive comments. I know that no one from Bungie promised to grace this thread with their infallible logic and justice, but they have posted a few times in response to things of very minimal concern, and ignored posts from myself and others who feel this system is wrong, and have been made out to be some sort of virtual criminals or something. Whether you agree with my point of view doesn't matter. I got banned for a couple of weeks last fall, dealt with it, came here for support and hopefully answers, didn't get it. End. Of. Story.

QFT. Infallible logic and justice translates into the word "arrogance." The title says it all. You win this thread.

I posted in this last year when I also got a two week EXP ban asking if anyone else got banned. And everybody was like... "HAHAHA OMGZ YouSE a LOSER!!!" or "You deserved it, you douche bag." or "Hahahah I love when Shiska bans people. All they do is whine." or "Cool story bro." or "I hear the WHHHAAMMMBULANCE." The ignorant and idiotic replies can go on. It's sad to see all of these people have such a hard on for Bungie and the forum ninjas... My response was, "Well, thanks Bungie for all the help and thanks for the hundreds of supportive and helpful members."

what the -blam!- are you talking about bungie, host booting? If I was host booting or w/e its called, I would have won ever single game, and not have gone embarrassed. why would I make legit 47's quit, they suck?

not exactly, a kid tried bridging host against me so that his teammate would get host then boot my team. and he ended up lagging himself out and teammates.

Hey shiska I have a question. If your account gets hacked and they get you banned then you get your account BACK and it's still banned, would you get rid of the Ban? Jw :)

I think you would need some proof that your account got hacked first.

I don't mind when people make fun of Bungie...as a matter of fact, I don't care at all. But that crosses a certain line.

anyone else want to talk -blam!- and get hit offline, message me on my other account CaiiMe4sHoT, and we'll see who comes out winning, mne or bungie.

And it comes out why you are permanently banned. Admitting yourself to be a host booter. Well, guess what this is me "talking -blam!-."

Wow your real tough kid. Get a life. You bought that account and now your threatening to hack peoples accounts. Your a loser to the highest degree.

Yea i dont play much halo, but i still love it

Ha the 12 year olds who make big tough guy posts on the forums scare me... NOT. guess what little kid? Knocking people offline is a FELONY and its real easy to trace it if you have even half a brain,, so you just keep thinking your tough til a couple of FBI agents show up at your door with a warrant, and your parents beat the snot out of you when they find out.

I'm sorry to have to post this in here, but there's really no other thread that addresses my particular issue.

My 360 has been RRoD'd since just before the summer, and I got sick of no Halo 3, so I went out and got myself a new 360, a wireless adapeter, and H3.

However, it is evident that some unauthorized party has accessed my acocunt in my downtime, changing my XBL username by using all my accumulated MS points.

But that's not it.

I went to play Halo 3 matchmaking, exited to get 'back in the saddle again', only to find that my account has been EXP banned for one month.

Is there any way I can have this issue addressed? Or at the very least, see how much time is remaining on this ban?

If there is any way for me to prove my case, and be taken seriously (something highly I doubt will happen here, but I need to try) as someone with a legitimate issue?

I have taken measure to prevent the re-'hacking' of my account, such as a much longer password, but obviously this does not address my ban.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Here's the problem; almost everyone has a similar story, and there's no way to know who is telling the truth, and who is lying. Thus, why Bungie has a "If someone else was playing on your account, and got you banned, take it up with them" policy.

Nothing, to my knowledge, you can do I'm afraid.

This is what happens. People post, to try and repeal a ban, sometimes end up lying, and start a huge flame war.

Forum noob's see this, and assume the correct response to any and all "I'm banned" threads is to begin flaming right away.

Not to mention, troll's love to feed on such occasions.

Well, needless to say, that's disappointing.

I have, however, figured out how to find how much time is left on the ban, assuming that it is a literal month (30 days).

Time in between the last played game until now.

Thanks for the assist.

I GOT BANNED FOR NO REASON. i rarely quit and never boost. answers please?


Host booting???

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

Example 5

Example 6

Example 7

Example 8

Does this answer your question?

Thank you for your reply and attempt to answer my question. However you didn't. If you notice, I have over 2,700 matchmade games, and 8 examples of laggy games or people quitting because they are losing isnt proof of hostbooting at all. (Im also still trying to figure out what example 8 means.) I'm not gonna go through every page of your record, but I'm confident you have quit out of a few games for various reasons.
Also, you couldn't have known this so i don't fault you, but i wasn't matchmaking banned, just XP banned, so it had nothing to do with DNF's.
So can anyone tell me why I was XP banned?


Well considering they were eight DNFs in a row, I was only taking a guess. I'm not sure, I wasn't the one who banned you. They weren't just random throughout your game history. I was only trying to give some insight to your situation.

  • 08.22.2009 8:59 PM PDT

my fault i guess that's kinda supspicious, but i got xp banned not matchmaking banned, also i didn't realize two things.
1. Saying "HOSTBOOTING?!?!?!" isn't always an accusation, sometimes it is an exclamatory question in response to a question.
2. Bungie and Microsoft don't about these types of problems or this forum a top priority, because i have gone weeks without an answer from microsoft phone support agents, microsoft phone support specialists, microsoft phone support supervisorts, microsoft email support agents, official microsoft forum ban thread moderators, and finnally bungie employees on their own forum.
So good luck to anyone else that has been banned, but i guess i'm just gonna wait this one out.
