Subject: Console and account temporarily banned?

I have 2 messages that pop up when going into Halo Reach. The first says "this console is temporarily banned from earning credits" and the second says "this account is temporarily banned from earning credits". This happened yesterday afternoon and I contacted an Xbox Live agent online last night and he said it's from leaving too many games and that it would only last for a couple of hours. Well, it's still banned and I'd like to know if anyone has any idea of how long it will be banned for. Xbox Live support can't give me any solid answers and suggested I try here. I did leave games yesterday because my kids were playing and they kept changing their minds about what type of game to play. I know it says in the game that you can get suspended for like 10 minutes from leaving too many games, but this situation seems different. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance.

There are several games where you got 0 kills. 0 kills = AFK.. AFK = banned.

Wow, that stinks. That would be from my kids playing. About how many games does it take to get banned from AFK or 0 kills? I didn't think it was that many.

Looks like it was a 24 hour ban. I am earning points again. Thanks for all the help.
