I just haven't added anything in the last two spots, but I looked at my file share again just now and so in the number one spot where I had a picture of a mongoose that was gold in color with a caption of " If your good at rocket race, put this in your fileshare. You deserve it." but that picture is now deleted and not by me. Would that one picture cause them to ban me from matchmaking for one month?


That would warrant a file share ban, nothing else as its a picture of modded content, but I to have seen others who have had that

If he changed the name or description of it, it becomes new modded content. I'm pretty sure uploading original modded content comes with a MM ban and a fileshare ban, first offense.

The goose was not gold by color and I assume modded. I just tried to upload something else to my file share and it said my file share is banned. Yes, I changed the description when I first saw the picture and downloaded it.

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

Amazing how a picture of modded content warrants a bigger ban then the description mods and name mods for player made content.

You changed the name and/or description when you added it to your fileshare, didn't you?

It sucks in some cases where people really weren't trying, but that does make you the creator of original, modded content.

No, the pic isn't modded. I've seen it before (it's a mongoose in the top middle of guardian correct?). The pic is a legitimate H3 pic but it was taken on a MODDED map with a gold mongoose. Last I checked, there was no rule against having a legit pic of a modded map. If it was a fake pic, it would have been detected way before now. Plus they DO give you a warning first, before a ban. I think the ban was because you won to much in RR.

Bungie's rules on modded content are too strict, way too strict. A month from MATCHMAKING for somethign that isn't even related to it? Nice work.

  • 08.10.2010 8:49 PM PDT

I am just the average gamer, trying to indeed help bungie take the world over. Halo: Forever

Hmm...interesting..I suggest contacting a forum ninja or a bungie member on this matter. best of luck lad.

Sorry if this double posts but I know guys who have BOOSTED 2000+ games of rocket race and not been caught or recieved any sort of ban, and this guy wins legit and gets hit, no way...

Yes, I did.

Well, that explains the ban. Changing the name/description makes it an original file, and you the owner. If it was modded, that would make you, in the eyes of the banhammer, someone that uploaded a new mod, which carries a pretty harsh punishment. While it does suck when someone unwittingly gets nailed for it, my guess is you won't have much luck on an appeal. You can still try Urk or Achronos though, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

That is funny. So they should ban people who are too good at a specific game.

Boosting EXP hurts no one. They shouldnt be banning for that anyways. They should be banning modders and cheaters though and sadly people who promote modded content, however unintentional it may have been would fit into this description

Some things are easy to catch with accuracy, others or not. A simple computer script cannot tell if people are actually really bad, or if they are trying to be bad so they can all tie and get EXP. As long as the controllers aren't completely idle, the banhammer doesn't do a good job of telling who is actually bad, and who is sucking on purpose.

Yes, it was unintentional, but I will accept that I put a modded picture in my file share and even though it was with out knowledge of it being in violation of the rules I would accept a file share ban. What I don't understand is how that picture reflects into a one month matchmaking ban.

Because it was original content. Unfortunately, the difference between a file share ban and the total MM ban is in changing the description. They started doing that when all the mature content started popping up in fileshares. When they find a modded file, they can easily clear out every instance of it with a script. However, once you change it's name or description, it loses that connection to the original and is harder to track. So they started dealing much more harshly with people that made new versions of modded content.

Hmm, I only play matchmaking about once a month. You are welcome to come play custom games with me and some mates.

Thank you, but I play Rocket Race in custom games with my friends almost every night. I'm not upset that I won't get to play matchmaking for a month, because I don't play very often. It is just the principle that I got banned when I try to play according to the rules.

  • 08.10.2010 9:28 PM PDT

Yeah, matchmaking is overrated. Also, I've never played rocket race, what is it about?

Ok. If the file share pic is the culprit, that doesn't explain why a one month console ban goes along with the ban. ??????

Oh yeah, Maddog PM this guy.

Condoms.

At least I'm going into battle protected. Haha


Yea, the last thing you want is are some elites strapped your your back while a grunt massages your nuts unprotected.

This happened to me about two weeks ago. There was not one single reason why I got banned, but I did. People say that it was because of a video in my fileshare of someone getting modded against. I don't think it was, seeing as the film wasn't removed and my team mate that has only ever played with me, got banned as well.

"Ranked idle boosting" was the reason I got banned. I have never gotten 0 kills and won. Bungie's banhammer is a piece of crap.

I looked at your matchmaking history and unlike most people who say they got banned for no reason, I can't really find a reason except for maybe this. Sorry, bud. That really sucks.


That is only a bad connection. I believe that if you go and see someone else game's in that match, they played legit. It's only due to a bad connection that you "lag out" of the game, and remain alone, while the others only see you come out from the match. I've exprerienced this issue a lot of times with my firends. It could be this (a bad connection and episodes like this, where people did not finish the match) that has banned him.
