Subject: Banned for winning too much

Hey guys. Let me just start off by apologizing if this is an old topic, I have hardly ever looked at the Bungie forums before, but I could really use somebody's help here. I received a one week ban last night, or sometime yesterday, on the account linked to this profile. I know that the ban system is automated, and that can call for mistakes, but the thing that makes me mad is how legitimate this account actually was, and the fact that on the ban page, it says that no response communication will come from this process. I know it's just a week, and I have other accounts and another console, so it's not like I can't play or anything, but it just makes me mad when stuff like this happens. I ran into a host booter two nights in a row last week and he doesn't get banned, but I get banned for winning too much. If you don't feel like looking at my service record I'll just tell you. This account has a 202-7 record all ranked matches. Does that make me a cheater? I guess it would if I was cheating, but we won all those games legitimately. I'm one of the most honest players out there, I hardly ever pull host, I hardly t-bag, and I love Halo 3. The fact that I got banned like this just comes as an insult and it really bothers me that this type of thing can happen. If a real investigation of this account was done they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it, because I didn't do anything wrong. I probably got banned because a bunch of babies who are bad at the game reported me after they got pooped on. That may sound harsh but it's probably the truth. Anyways if anyone out there has any experience with this or thinks they have good advice for me, I could really use some direction with this situation. Just please don't say something like, "oh it's just one week get over it", because that isn't why I made this thread. It isn't eating me alive or anything I would just really like to see if I could get this shiz figured out. Thanks guys.

Edit: Ok so I started reading some threads and it looks like I'm far from being the only one here, so nevermind don't feel like you have to respond to this I think I pretty much understand what's going on here. Sorry to any of you other guys that this has happened to, I wish we could do something.

I challenge Bungie to do a real investigation of this account and try to find something that I did wrong. I'm not trying to get out of a one week ban I am just trying to get a little bit of justice/answers here.

Bungie doesn't do investigations for Halo 3. The ban hammer is on auto and never makes a mistake.

Plus if I was a Bungie employee I wouldn't waste my time with a 2nd account booster.


Then I guess there is a first time for everything because it definitely made a mistake this time.

Lone Wolf, you honestly have no clue what you're talking about. The banhammer can and does make mistakes. For example from reading this thread it is most likely he got banned for "host booting" or so the banhammer believes. But, in actuality he is making the opposing team quit and in turn gets banned.

Ex: Happened to my friend, except the opposing team kept quitting out to create a booster.

Hey thanks man that actually makes a lot of sense, in a sad way. But thanks I hadn't thought about that.

Banhammer is annoying. It hit me and my bro in Reach pretty hard, and for the most part, we play legit. Try messaging a Bungie member from one of the forums. They actually have a Reach ban forum up right now, but I wouldn't post something about Halo 3 there. Just message a forum master and see if you get a response, but don't make the message too long. It will not send. I had that problem this morning when trying to plead my case to a Bungie guy named Jerimiah. I don't know why they say you can have up to 10,000 characters in a message, because a super long message just won't send. Good luck anyways. :D

Come on. I had enough people hounding me in the Reach forums. Why is the community being so rude?

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

who cares?


why are you making new accounts to beat up on rank 1s in a 4yearold game anyway?

Because people cry when they get banned and then make up silly stories.

If you cheat you get banned. The Halo 3 is never wrong.

If you think you were wrongly banned send a PM to Achronos.


*sigh* See, this is that rude thing I was talking about. There's no need for it.

Thanks for the help man I might go look over there. And as far as these people accusing me of cheating go, I don't understand why somebody who actually cheated would make a thread online, trying to prove that they didn't do something they did do. I have never even posted on this site I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not some sort of attention seeker. I only made this thread to get some advice.

Hey man I just love Halo 3 and my friends and I have fun making new accounts. I play games for fun and that is what is fun for me.

Because you're a pathetic geek who cares about a videogame enough to cheat in it. Don't come to this forum and expect us to sympathise with you. Stop taking a bunch of pixels on your TV so seriously and go outside.

Kyle was just trying to help me which is the only reason I made this thread. Please stop posting stuff if it isn't something helpful, there really is no need for it.
