Subject: Banned from file share?

Hi, played a round on matchmaking today and tried to upload my footage to file sharing. This was my first time ever doing that but when it was verifying my name it says that it's banned from xbox live. I called Live support and they confirmed it's not banned and said it was probably an issue here. I checked out the Ban support thread, but none of that stuff seems to apply to me. I can play games and do most of the stuff, but can't upload any of my own footage to file share. I can upload other people's videos so I find this strange.

Any help into this matter would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what I could have done wrong. I haven't played this game in months.

Yes, it's on Reach. I've never even played Halo 3 though. I have ODST, but never played the Halo 3 multiplayer disc that came with it.

I was, but your mom left early so I had to cut the trip short.

Do you have any other accounts you can use? Try signing in on those and uploading a file to a file share. If it still doesn't work then it may be an issue with your console.

I'm wondering if it's a service tag issue; a lot of seemingly random tags have been banned from uploading anything lately.

I doubt it's an issue with my console but I'll give it a try. Could this have something to do with DLC? I don't own either the Noble or defiant Map packs.

It's not lack of DLC; you're not going to be blocked from uploading just because you didn't buy the map packs.

That could also be a possibility, it's happened to me before.

Centauratron, I'm pretty unaware of things here because I've rarely used the forums, but what do you mean by service tag issues? And why would they randomly block people from uploading? Do you mean tagging the films in the game? If so I have never done that as far as I can remember owning this game. Only thing I ever did was watch other people's films and download custom variant maps.

How would I get clear of this? I just starting getting into the game more and wanted to start participating more in the community.

Just change your service tag to something else and try uploading a file. Also, have you ever tagged someone else's file with something inappropriate?

Service tag, as in the mix of four letters/numbers used to identify you in-game. Master Chief, for example, was S117.

It's been an issue since 343 took charge of the servers; every other day, there's a new thread in the Reach forum of people asking why they've suddenly been banned from filesharing and it gets traced back to their tag.

Some of them are offensive, yeah, and some of the tags have been blocked for no apparent reason.

This thread is the most recent one to pop up, also because of people being banned from fileshare. As far as I know, 343 has not commented on the issue yet and I don't believe Bungie can do anything.

Ok, I will see if changing my service tag works. Mine wasn't offensive, just initials KGHC, but it must've been one of those random blocks you mentioned. Thanks again dude and thanks Ceylomons.

Well changing my service tag does nothing. I still get the notice that says "The owner of this video has been banned from Xbox Live". but as i said, I have a gold account and I spoke to a MS rep earlier and confirmed I'm not banned. Guess it might be an issue caused by 343I taking over as you all said.

I hate to say it but you'll just have to wait until it gets fixed. The update in late October may fix it, so all you can really do is wait. Sorry =(

I have no problem with waiting man as long as they don't do anything dumb and ban me from multiplayer all together. Thanks for all the help!
