Subject: [HELP] Banned from earning credits, Can someone explain why? [HELP]

Ok, So I was playing Halo Reach today and I was trying to get the the weekly challenge. While I was trying to get the weekly challenge I got a pop up that said

"Your profile has been temporarily banned from earning credits."

I finished the game but credits still showed up at the end and it gave them to me. I only had to get another 7 kills with the Magnum after that game. I started the nextt game of SWAT and managed to finish the weekly challenge, At the end of the game I got 0 credits! I haven't been boosting and I don't plan on boosting! Look at my gaming history for proof if you want it!

Anyway I want to know a few things...

1) Am I going to get my 20,343 Credits or not?
2) Why did I get the ban hammer?

That's all I really want to know...I don't want to miss out on 20,000 credits that I earned.. :(

No point to it, when you think about it.

There are two possibilities.

1) You boosted/cheated and are a piece of crap that deserved getting banned.
2) You are genuinely unsure why you are banned.

I'm going to go ahead and, siding with the many people who got banned and said the EXACT SAME THING, that you are door number one. Thanks for playing.

If you're door number two, tough cookies, wait for Bungie/343 to get their act together, and move on.

I'm only 13, I have no idea what boosting is and how to do it, I've got a rough idea on what it is because a friend told me about it but then I found out you could get banned for it so I decided I would never do it.

Anyway do you know if I will get my 20,343cR?

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I counted 11 of your most 25 recent Firefight games that had you as possibly AFK, and 5 in your regular matchmaking history.
You were banned for AFKing. Enjoy your break from "earning" cR.

The NEIGHBOR of God.

Follow me on Twitter: @Godzneighbor

Xbox Ambassador: Feel free to ask any questions you might have about a Xbox issue in a PM to me. I may be able to help!

First Question: Am I going to get my 20,343 credits or not?

A: You won't get the cR's from the Weekly challenge while in a cR ban. So no, until it goes away, you won't be getting cR's for (Commendations, Challenges, etc.).

Second Question: Why did I get Banhammered?

A:

Don't know what boosting is, uh-huh!?!

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=85175 0892&player=WiLiAm98 You and 2 guests played, one of them got "2" kills and you and the other guest were killed, and didn't score one point. So you guys were either boosting or AFK. I'll believe more AFK, for the next couple games below.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=85178 0426&player=WiLiAm98 AFK

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=85175 3577&player=WiLiAm98 AFK again with your two guests.

So your problem here, is that you were searching for games, but were not playing at all, and were away from the game.


I'm sure there are more, but I don't have time to link them all.

Anyways, hope I helped.

It seems that you're mad.

Understandable.

I would be mad too if I couldn't understand half of the words the other person was saying.

Possibility 1) You're a moron

Possibility 2) You suck

Possibility 3) You're both at the same time
