Subject: How i got banned.

This is the story of how i got banned.I do not disagree with it. It is all my fault and i am glad that bungie over sees players to make a more enjoyable game.
My friends and i had a tough time getting the mythic achievments so we decided to fill up the playlist. It was me and three other people so we signed in our other controllers as guest to make the cut. We did not want to disrupt other players by doing this so we used the dummey guests for exta people.
With all spaces filled we beagan our shameful attempt at getting the achievments and after a few maps went by my screen flashed to a huge message from bungie. "Your console has been banned for two weeks from earning exp."
Well i can guess it looked like i was deranking or boosting. On my team i had all guest doing absoultly nothing. My other friends did not get the ban. So thats why i think it was deranking or boosting for the ban. Two of the dummey guests were mine. I got what i deserved.
We were not trying to disrupt anybody but the system is automated. I can still play halo but not earn exp. I am very glad that the ban i recieved was not severe. I will take my punishment and wait out the two weeks.
Here is some info on the banhammer.
1.Manipulating network conditions to give yourself an advantage, or to the detriment of the experience for other players.
2.Modifying your Xbox 360 hardware or Bungie software and services in any way.
3.Skill or EXP Boosting, deleveling, cheating, habitual quitting or any other type of unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior.
4.Impersonating a Bungie employee on Xbox LIVE with intent to defraud or cause harm to other players.
The following things will not result in a visit from the Banhammer:
1.Lag (poor or intermittent network performance).
2.Occasional disconnects due to inconsistent network conditions.
3.Playing with the same group of friends over and over using the party system as long as this is not for the purpose of boosting.
4.Losing games over and over again as long as this is not for the purpose of boosting.
5.Winning games over and over again as long as this is not for the purpose of boosting.
6.Being polite, courteous and refraining from hate-speech and racial slurs.
Thanks for your time.

One question, how did they know you were cheating if no one reported you?

They have ways. Its an automated system that watches and looks for certain things. my guess is that since my guests were not moving in all the matches it looked like i was deranking.

fear me, for i am pro sauce

can yo rank up your highest skill whith an exp ban?

just wondering because you could play loads of ranked stuff and not get any exp but stiil get your skill up, that would be awsome

Looking for a clan? Always Gaming!

I understand that it's really hard to get some achievements like, "Get 2 kills with one Spartan Laser shot". If you keep playing you will eventually get it. Same with all of the others.

My main account is permanately banned for "deranking" However I wasn't deranking at all, I just shared the account with my little brother. But Bungie doesn't care since I've already bought the game.

Love my girl, 4/11/11.

Bungie didn't think your deranking, they knew you were boosting achievements. They believe derankers should have alot of DNFs in rapid sucession.
