I'm actually surprised you were not banned along with him, and yes you do know what I'm talking about.

Like I said nothings in the file share on that account.

It gets deleted when they do the ban, plus it could be any account on the machine that gets the console banned.

Okay then, it's never had anything in. Every account on his machine is on mine too. Plus the account what he was banned on works on my console. If Bungie wanted to crack down that much why wouldn't the account be banned?

They ban consoles, not accounts. If any account on that machine had anything modded, that is why the console was banned. If one of your accounts had the modded content in the share, it was you that got your brother banned.

Yeah all I'm saying is if Bungie wanted to crack down so much on so called modders they would ban the account. Hackers can easily go and buy KV's RRoD there console to get another one or just go out and buy another. What do you mean by modded file share, pictures etc? If I used the file share it would just be to upload a clip of me playing etc to show friends. I don't use it has a modding playground.

Depends. If you changed the name or description at all, i becomes a unique modded file, and you become the author, so that gets you a file share ban and a MM ban. Or, maybe they just really wanted to get their point across with this wave of banning.

I really duno. I guess I'll just have to accept it. I just found it kinda strange that loads of people are getting this 1 month ban and I thought it may be just a glitch/problem which be sorted but I guess not. Thanks for your input anyway.

for the past 2 weeks me and my 3 other friends have been playing social skimish and since we are all level 50 generals we usually play good every game which makes the other team leave in the middle of the game most of the time. i have a feeling bungie interrupted that as boosting thats why they banned me for one month. i just want to get unbanned so i can play the game i love.

What used to be in your file share?
The recent round of one month bans was a sweep of modded content in file shares.

No, actually what happened is a bunch of people thought that they could pass -blam!- around to each other using the file share.

They were mistaken.

Like I've been saying it's not just file shares and a lot of the bans seem to not have any explanations.

How do I know or tell if a file I receive from another gamer is a modded file? Even if that gamer claimed it to be something funny or cool to look at? Would having a modded file in my file share without knowing that it's a modded file lead to being banned?

Looking at someone else's files will not get you in trouble.

Yes. If you have modded content in your fileshare, your console will get banned. If any account on your console has it in a share, the entire console gets banned.

read the xbox code of conduct it says basically(cant remember exactly how the words were placed)

banns against accounts
- Bartering(buying/selling) Accounts to other player
- Making multiple account to get a unfair advantage against newer players
- (something about stolen accounts will be banned)

Also the stats are locked for your brothers account.

Making new accounts isn't a bannable offense. That would be like Honda telling you that you can't get a new Honda because you already have one. If it a bannable offense, then I am guilty because I've made about 20-30 new GTs to screw around on.
