I have recieved a message on my xbox again saying that it has been temporarily banned from earning credits. This is an issue to me because from what I have read on the reasons for banning I have not violated any of the terms listed. I have no modifications, I have not been cheating or been involved in any foul play or wrong doings, also I never quit on my own accord I play my multiplayer games to the end never do I quit unless my internet connection gets lost but that has not been an issue so I do not see any reason for this to be happening to my account. I just got done with school for the semester and I finally have some time to play and enjoy this game I find it very disappointing to have to see this message when I feel I have been playing by the rules. This is a huge inconvenience and I am very unsatisfied with what is being done at the moment. This is the second time this has happened and I still have yet to know why or find a reason why this is happening. This is really starting to frustrate me as this is one of the only games I have to play and one of the few times during the year I actually get to play my xbox consistently. If I am doing something wrong could you please let me know instead of this autoresponse which tells me nothing and according to it and your rules I have not broken any to receive a ban in credits if you could please actually message me that way I can avoid doing whatever it is or work on whatever is causing my xbox to be banned. Does anyone have any info that can help me this really $uc<$

LOL

Yet another reason why im glad i traded in my copy of Reach at a game store =)

Credit banning is not if you modify, but abuse the system. In some way, you have been Abusing the credit. Maybe you found a glitch? Not sure. Maybe you got too many credit in one day and its an unusual amount?

whatever the case, you abused it somehow.

AFK is short for "Away From Keyboard". It means you were inactive. Some people have been AFKing in Reach multiplayer, and Bungie decided to take action. If you AFK, you WILL get banned.

That sounds like it could be it then because I have gone through all the rules and I have been abiding by all of them that's the only one that makes sense since because of how lengthy the firefight matchmaking process takes I normally sign a second controller in the make the search go by faster. Would that be considered afking? Does it only pertain to certain multiplayers and what is the length of the ban for that? They should really put it in the rules that that's a rule breaker because I never would have had they had it on there.

That's most likely the reason.

You can be banned for AFKing in ANY multiplayer playlist in Reach.

Also, not to be rude or mean in any way, but this is the wrong forums for this kinda question. Try either the reach forums or the flood(maybe). Just for future reference.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Don't feel like reading the wall of text, but from the title: This is the wrong forum. Bring your worries somewhere else. Also, here's a tip: If you're lying, save your fingers some time. I don't particularly like Bungie, but they don't ban people "FOR NOA R@SION!"
