Subject: Credit Ban - Feelling sooooo Stupid

Turned on our XBox this morning. Get the message that "this console has a temporary credit ban". Looked at the forums and immediatell realized the error of my ways.

Last night, after my son went to sleep, I played Matchmaking Doubles. Having watched him set it up, I thought it required two players to work so I logged both our characters on and had a whale of a time :-) Needless to say, his character would have been inactive or AFK for the entire time :-(

I fully recognize that I was wrong and as a member of this community, I am bound by the rules and regulations thereof. With that that said, I would like to ascertain how long our ban is for (a day possibly)? is there a way to learn more about our specific ban? and to humbly ask the powers that be for a little grace on this. Would there be any way for this to be a short ban? It would be very helpful in restoring the peace and the balance of harmony in our household.

Fully recognize that my lack of knowledge and actions, intentional or not, were outside the framwework for what is allowed. Appreciate any and all help on this.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

Well Bungie can't help you. 343i is now in complete controll of the HALO Series. I might suggest heading over to their forums.

It depends on the number of times you've been banned/severity of your infraction. If it's you first time then 1-2 days should be the punishment.

24 hours - 2 weeks.

I think it's stupid that you get a ban for just getting credits. there shouldn't be ban by this is just as stupid as getting sent to prison for breathing in oxygen

First time is 24 hours, subsequent times should be 1 week, although it could go straight to a 2 week ban (which can occur after multiple 1 week bans as well).

For an afk ban, it's almost always 24 hours the first time. There are other ways to get credit banned, some which can cause you up to a month ban (although that's pretty rare).

I don't think I've heard of anyone getting a 48 hour credit ban, unless it was someone who got manually banned for boasting about boosting or something similar.


For reference, the messages it displays are

24 hours or 1 week: "You have been temporarily banned from earning credits."

2 week: "You have been temporarily banned from earning credits for 2 weeks."

1 month: "You have been temporarily banned from earning credits for 1 month."

Thank you all for the information... based on the message we are getting on the console, its appears to be the 24 hour or 1 week ban.
