I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

The only "omg I gut EXP banned for NO RAISON" thread.......LOLhahaha =) this made my day

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

Why would I receive an EXP ban but another in the same game get nothing?

I understand "Achievement boosting" isn't OK now but I'd really like to know why I got a 2 week EXP ban and the other player gets nothing? Is it because he quit after getting the achievements (making me look like an EXP booster)or did I actually do something that was different than him making me more deserving of punishment?

Any insight is welcome but please spare me the flaming as I feel -blam- enough already.

Thanks everyone!

P.S. I learned my lesson and will never try to get achievements again illegitimately.

I, unlike many USE the search bar. I did not want to create some lame thread about how I didn't deserve an EXP ban (when I did) so I thought I'd post it here.

Despite everything I know about bans et cetera, I honastly have no idea, you werent the first person to be banned while the others werent, and i'm sure you wont be the last.

The only assumption I can make is that you participated more in the boosting then the others?

To all that it concerns:
I was banned from mm for 1 week, and I believe it was done unjustly. There are multiple people who play on this account (at college) and I feel that bungie is being too cruel.

Often we pull all nighters and have different people play every game. Unfortunately, we often pass out and nobody is left playing. I believe the account was banned for this reason and I feel it to be unjust if it was. I mean, were college kids we dont have to try every game, and sometimes we just run around not shooting to see the reactions of other players. This is fun for us so why cant we do it?

But if someone was achievement boosting or something and didnt tell us then the ban is completely understandable.

Thanks for your time and understanding

oooo oo ooo i think iv been banned im not getting any xp in grifball!
I dont really care, Im quite ambivolent about a lot of things. But why pay for a x box a live account a halo3 only so some idiot can accidentally ban you who probably doesnt even play the game.
I hear playstation 3 calling.
Oh yes you made the rozz angry. There are a lot of things that need sorting out behind the scenes at halo3.
I mean who wants to live in fear of being banned when you know youve done nothing wrong? Its stupid. -blam!-s man -blam!-s
I guess we are all zebras in the serengeti that is matchmaking.

If you recieved a message saying your EXP banned, then you are.
If you didnt, then its most likely server lag.

Every person who's been banned, has done something wrong, or they wouldnt have been banned?

Nopeys, any ban you get via the site, is unrelated to the game.
Punch a pilow, takes stress out very well.

Theres nothing in the rules against not trying your heart out every game, I just want to understand why I was banned

I might go to a club later and get the snot kicked out of me by doormen, that usually relieves a lot of tension XD
But wow man 4000 and something replies, a lot of people must be having the same problem.
Im gonna go play some grifball and shout a lot.
Peace to the bungie community!

I'd assume it would be related towards xboxlive via the feedback, technically speaking, theres nothing wrong with your games?

Not really a problem, just not accepting their behaviour.

Good luck with the stress, personally i'd avoid getting my ass kicked, but what ever works for you :)

I've been getting a message for both of my gamertags and and my console saying that I've been banned from HALO 3 matchmaking for 2 weeks. I have no idea why I was banned, and I don't know of anything I've done to get banned. First I was banned from earning experience points, then I was banned all together. I haven't used a communicator with anything other than within my own party. I've never modified my console, my controller or anything otherwise. I've never cheated, used lag switching, or anything of that sort. I've also never boosted. The only thing I can think of is that my 360 scratched a ring in my disk that won't allow me to play a couple of maps, and when these maps come up i get ejected or moved to a different map. I now have the ODST multiplayer disk, but I am unable to use matchmaking to attempt the use of that disk. I'm not sure if the ban can be lifted, or if this is the right place to post being that I'm completely banned and not just EXP banned. If anything, I would just like to understand why I was banned so I can avoid any misunderstanding in the future.

So...it's been about two weeks. Is the ban over at midnight tonight or EXACTLY two weeks from the start of the ban?

Could it perhaps be because of all those DNF's in team doubles on your game history, who ever would have thought that boosting isn't cheating. wow, just wow.

Are you even it's been two week?

Than ban usually ends near the end of the day, but i'd say give it an extra day for the ban to end.

I don't even know what boosting is. I've heard of people doing it, but have no desire to alter gameplay to gain achievements or rank or whatever it is supposed to do. I can only think of a handfull of times I quit intentionally, and that is when i didn't want to play an objective. Any other time I quit or booted was because my disk apparently won't play epilogue or boundless.
