Subject: Account temporarilly banned?

Now i understand that credit farming and everything can get your account banned. but mine was recently bannned, as well as my xbox when i dont know how to even do anything like that, all i have been doing is playing Matchmaking with my fiance and now the whole console is banned from gaining any credits, is there anyway anyone else can tell me why i might have been banned?

When i got out of the match it said "this Xbox is temporarily banned from collecting credits" and just after that it said "your account is temporarily banned from collecting credits"

Ban is probably 2 weeks, don't worry, there is more to Reach than cR.

Really? Where and how do I obtain this thing?

So they bann you simply if you dont get a kill in a game? i'm confused on what you mean. and why would the bann be on the whole xbox?

The system thinks you are idling and not playing the game if you do not get a kill. This is somewhat abused so they ban you if you it continues.

The system cannot spectate, so it must rely on stats. Sorry, but the best thing to do is get better so this doesn't happen again.

but what i dont understand is
two of the games you showed me were assault matches

when my fiance first started happen she was playing several matches without getting a single kill and this didn't happen then.

Doesn't matter what gametype.

You must need consecutive matches with this occurring. Sorry, just the way it is.
