Subject: Help with mute ban

I have recently been mute banned and if there was any true justification for this I would not cry about it as I am about to do. I am a girl and can normally hold my own in most games and yes on occasion when I am badgered by other players I will respond in a negative fashion. However I do not see why I am getting punished with a mute ban when I hear guys say they are going to mute me due to the fact that I am a girl and am doing better than them. Unfortunately it is not said in that manner and yes it angers me. Who wouldn't be but... I digress.

What I would like to know is how do I take care of the situation? I am sure that I am going to be told not to talk and I get that on some level I have to do enough not talking as it it because the guys on there just can't wait to ask how big my chest is or if I am a fatty. But is anyone aware of anything I can do to actually get the ban lifted?

You can't do anything about it. I know, it's -blam!- as hell people pretty much lose and socialness outside friends when they're mute banned. It's worse considering you just get mute banned because enough people do it in a short amount time even without any reason, you don't even need a mic in to get mute banned.

The awesome signature is awesome

can't help, the guys are losers and they can't help but feel insecure about thier lame 'masculinity' when it comes to losing a video game to a female competitor ... hence why most of them don't have a girlfriend, or if they do, are most likely going to lose her if they keep acting like a -blam-

  • 02.11.2012 12:16 AM PDT

Well that is just -blam- I have played every Halo game and it was bad enough that they took out social slayer but now this I think I am going to have to find a new FPS I know that 343 is making 4 but they haven't attempted to change anything so I am going to be -blam- again.

Yeu got banned for saying naughty words! It was your fault, and you given that you had words censored in you previous post, I would wager the ban was warranted. Next time mute someone and you won't have to listen to their comments, it is not hard to do.

OK I don't actually understand what you are talking about with words being censored if you are referring to the blams that are inserted into my comment then sorry to disappoint I put those in for dramatic effect. And in all actuality I don't "use naughty words" due to the fact that I have a daughter. Unless you consider frack and poop some and in all honesty any word can be "Naughty" it is all about context and tone and what not but I digress. And guess what I do on occasion mute people but you seem to be missing the point. It is not due to what I am saying it is due to the fact that I am a girl and "they" don't like that.

spiral out

Welcome to Xbox Live. Unfortunately, it's just a bunch of 9-year-old kids who think they're funny for saying "make me a sammich" or whatever they do. I just stay in party chat and play with a party of friends if I'm getting frustrated.

  • 02.11.2012 10:16 AM PDT

Thanks for the input and oddly I don't really get bothered by the things they say plus I can always mute them. It just bugs me that I am getting punished for things I didn't do. I kinda wish I was a overbearing smack talker at least then I world feel it was my fault.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

What are ya gonna do? The network is overrun by sexist, immature, 10 year olds. It's wrong but there isn't anything anyone can do about it. As for the mute ban, you'll just have to wait it out like I did mine. :/

  • 02.11.2012 4:28 PM PDT

lol

Wait it out.

If a player on your team wants to hear you talk they will un mute you. But then again why would anybdoy want to hear randoms on Reach unless they know what pro call outs are.

Stranded at the gas station of love using the self-service pump

An elegant solution, one that has already been mentioned, is to play with people you already know and start a party chat. This way nobody will be able to hear you anyways, and you won't be able to talk to them even if you wanted to. I've never had to deal with a muteban myself, but I still never use my headset unless I have a friend to chat with. It's just easier, and I'm free to make all the comments and jokes, however tasteless, to people that know me and my sense of humor well enough not to be offended. Hope that helped a little

Thanks everyone I understand that I am going to have to wait it out and all it just makes me so very angry that I get punished for the stupidity of others. I just wish that Bungie would let people make there own decisions about who they want to listen to. I get that they were trying to punish the people that suck and all but I think that it punishes those that are not the stereo type of a halo gamer. And I do like making comments and am very selective about my actual friend because I have had attempted stalkers in the past. But again thanks for all the comments.

Just because you're a girl you think you should get special attention? We all play by the same rules! You got mute banned you deserved it! "nuff said!"

I don't really know as I have never been mute banned! I just think that "I'm a girl so I shouldn't of been banned" is kind of lame!

I was not implying that due to the fact that I was a girl this gives me special treatment however the fact that I am a girl should not make me have a different sort of special treatment in which I am considered lower class or as my husband says the boys are scared of a girl that can beat them. I am sorry about the fact that you jump to conclusions with out reading my full comment. Also I am complaining to the injustice of the matter but I am really trying to figure out a way to make it go away.

i'm a girl too and i'm on a mute ban. i don't ever really talk but i am muted for some lame reason too. probably because of my rank and ppl assume i must talk trash when i sure hellz don't. there is nothing you can do, i think it is stupid when ppl mute others when they don't talk spam the mic w/ noises.

  • 02.15.2012 9:42 PM PDT

Yup, it is -blam-

If I was a 10 year old I'd get mutebanned too.

Or you got mutebanned by a lot of 10 year olds who cried over you pwning them.

Just tank it out and ignore it. Play the game, and it'll pass, there's nothing you can do OP.

RIP Bungie Service Records. You shall be missed.

Did you play MLG a lot?
People in that playlist always mute everyone but their teamates for no reason.
