The RINZZLER Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 So, I just got banned from the HaloWaypoint forums for pretty much doing nothing. I posted a few times on a post titled "rank up" (which was a post meant for people to spam to level up) and got banned. I will admit I spammed just a little bit, but out of all the people I was the only one to get banned till 10/29/2552. I have contacted all the mods that I can think of, and none have responded. It really sucks because I loved posting on the forums and talking people. But I guess, when you make ONE mistake, you are no longer counted among the members of the forums. THIS REALLY SUCKS!!!! Does anyone know of a way that I can get a hold of someone in a higher position to talk about this issue with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waypoint is a harsh site and I agree with you in saying they should have offered you another shot at redemption since the likelihood is you would not do so again. But for once I can see why the Mods banned you as you knowingly and intentionally broke a forum rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 You have up to 7 pages of spam posts on your post history... Each and every one of those posts is a rule breach. I'm sorry, but your ban is deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but your ban is deserved. However true that might be, It's still pretty rude of them to just auto ban without warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know of a way that I can get a hold of someone in a higher position to talk about this issue with? im in same boat (just created an account here) ill run you through my story back in october 2015 ok in october 2015 i created an account i commented on a thread where someone was getting trolled bad i was trying to defend the guy i got trolled a moderator fed into it and also bashed the opening poster so i reported the mod for trolling i then got a 24 suspension (false reports) by a mod in the same spartan squad (clan) as the mod i reported so i waited the 23 hours i log into waypoint to a permanent ban till the year 2552 for threatening violence (a false reason) i got no email of the waypoint suspension , then my xbox account both my offline silver (never was gold its a guest account) was permanently banned for same thing as waypoint and my primary (only one i use) was suspended same thing (harassment) for 14days ( i ended up changing the email address associated with the account and removing the old email also i changed the gamertag as well because i was recieving messages from 4 waypoint mods all are apart of the same spartan squad making threats etc on xbox live so i blocked all 4 of them) I knew waypoint was bad but that was an understatement !!! I here this is the place to be for Halo fans without the trolls and blanket bans !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 my xbox account both my offline silver (never was gold its a guest account) was permanently banned for same thing as waypoint and my primary (only one i use) was suspended same thing (harassment) for 14days ( i ended up changing the email address associated with the account and removing the old email also i changed the gamertag as well because i was recieving messages from 4 waypoint mods all are apart of the same spartan squad making threats etc on xbox live so i blocked all 4 of them) The Halo Waypoint forum moderators are supposed to have nothing to do with the administration of Xbox LIVE accounts: whatever the reason your account was banned, they almost certainly had nothing to do with it, and if you feel the ban was unfair or undeserved you'd need to contact Microsoft Support directly to enquire exactly why you received the ban, and to appeal against it if desired. If you're receiving threatening messages from other people over Xbox LIVE, the best course of action is to keep the message you've received and to file a complaint against the account for harassment. Blocking them is also a very good step, but unless you keep their messages or find some way of recording them (perhaps with a video on a mobile phone?) there's no evidence of any wrong-doing on their part, and unless complaints are filed then nothing will be done about the abusers, since as far as I'm aware Xbox doesn't actively monitor private communications.
