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

Saints...slow down spamming/bumping this thread is useless...an EXP ban is placed for boosting. Typically people boost by playing against a team of guests that aren't actually playing or having an entire side DNF. I'm too lazy to look through your game history but I highly doubt you are as innocent as you claim. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Saints, you've got a handful of questionable games on page 5 of your game history in Rumble Pit. Looks like some have inactive guests and some had people intentionally tied to get them all experience.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Saints of Grove: You had quite a few matches with inactive guests. The best thing you can do in the future, if you was indeed innocent, is to turn off the inactive controllers, because it saves a lot of battery, and an EXP ban. Inactive guests will appear at the top of the list in game history.

Where did that ban thread go...

Posted by: ExplodingMantis
so i got banned once, legit, my bad, boosting rumble pit :( but now i know i can't do that anymore and i read that on the v-day post, users that have been banned cannot earn recon. i assume this is just for during v-day? cuz if i get my vidmaster achievements after odst comes out, i want my recon. since ive previously banned does anybody know if other privileges have been taken away? (ie. no getting on bungie favorites) pm me if u have info.


If you still have a fileshare, i'd say you can still get on bungie favs'.

Although, with the recon armour and being banned, since the terms for not gaining recon were before the update about ODST, i'm not sure if you can gain recon still or not.

Ghost10006 I fail to see what I did wrong in the games you have highlighted, and also the ban was not on the account I am posting on.

I am just enquiring as to whether it is normal procedure to have your ban extended from one week to three months without even playing the banned xbox (for any game) during the banned period?


Post the "real" tag, i'm sure somebody in the community can find out why =]

If the katana is overated then i am proud to be overated :D

well surely if bungie dint want any cheaters then they shud sort it out properly insted of sttin bans....like say if it looked like they wer boosin in lone wolves then dont give them ther xp or up ther skill? Or say if they had a load of guests not playing do a call of duty, boot them out of the match...it sounds so much more simple (but its probs alot more complicated).....just a thought? ;-)

Cookie the gamertag that got banned was 'CAPTAIN TARAN', the offense occured around the 8th Feb

I was given a ban for a week. I played the banned account on my cousins xbox after the ban ended, then after atwo weeks after the ban I went back on my banned xbox and it then said I have a three month ban.

Enquiring as to if a ban will be extended without anyone else even playing the banned xbox in the banned period and it was definitely the first time I have received any kind of ban.

Also, if you think about it the boosting doesn't even make sense. I honestly found the same people that many times in a row. Why would I boost to level 5??

Anyway do bans get extended, and the original ban was definitely only one week

It's correct, you got banned. That's ok, why? Look at this:

There are even more boosted games.

i only have 1 other friend in rl that i actually know why would i waste my time to help other people get experience look at my matchs and my scores for all of them do you really think i have the time to give some one exp, my friend silen kun and cadetfeltman (he has two gamertags) got his experience his own so i know im innocent


Having people go "AFK" isn't an excuse. Quitting out of a lot of games is a bannable offense I believe you are guilty and rightfully banned. Bungie can't determine when "your friends are jumping on a trampoline" nor can they ascertain why somebody is quitting out of several games. These are not legitimate excuses.

First off, you've got, what, 5 posts in a row there? Stop that. You'll get yourself banned from the forums too if you keep that up.

Second, when your friends have to leave, sign them out! It's that simple. There's never an excuse for having a controller signed on and having no one playing it.

Saints of Grove I'm sorry but I really agree with L00, you can't really say that you got banned for no reason, even if you do explain why your guests were inactive. Bungie cannot actually see what goes off in the match, they have to rely on stats and things like that. The best thing you can do is simply turn off the controllers, or when you and your friend have to do something just leave the game, better an EXP loss than an entire two weeks of not gaining EXP at all, isn't it?

And also, the sort of persistance you've got might be annoying Shishka, so chances are you'll also be banned from the forums if you keep it up. That, or get an extended EXP ban, so just wait it out, it's only 2 weeks, play some customs or something, or another game, then after two weeks, everything will be back to normal again.

I'm really confused. Is this an EXP ban you're talking about, a matchmaking ban, or a ban from Xbox Live?

bungie fail at double exp grifball

Yes, i have finally grown the maturity to realise that my ban was justified, i couldn't help at being a bit biased (what with me being in a bad mood at all).

I've learned my lesson, that i should never take my ability to play matchmaking for granted.

Im sorry i let you down Bungie, i apologise you had to go through all of the trouble to remove my ability to play on matchmaking. I would also like to say sorry for posting 2 stupid forums about why.

I am incredibbly grateful that you haven't taken my ability to use forge and custom games, so i can still (sort of) make a great halo 3 experience, and i hope to get another chance when ODST arrives :P

Thank you Shishka for making me realise that i shouldn't take things for granted :)

lol why do you guys bother with posting on the forums no one listens. there are only people who know nothing about your games and intentions who just look at the "naughty" games youv'e done and nothing else that proves your innocence anybody that comes on here is wasting their time. I seriously don't even know why this is a pinned thread. its not like there's a fair trial or anything or a chance to plead your innocence and explain exactly what you did. nope nothing. the ban sytem is accurate but, for the few that are innocent. they should at least have a chance. and this thread isn't one. i'd like to see 1 person who has been let off the hook...*cricket churping* oh ya there isn't one. so suck up your bans like I did and move along. besides there are better games out there anyways...ohh burn.
