All over the weekend I have been playing Gears of War 2 online because of the x22 exp that has been going on. Because of that, I got to level 99 in Gears. So I take a good break and decide to log back in to finish it off and finally get to level 100. But then I log in to find a window telling me that I have been suspended from xbox live until further notice. I have no idea why I would even get banned. I don't cheat, hack, cuss people out, or any of that stupid crap. I play the game as it was intended and have fun doing so. I just want to know why I got banned, but can't figure it out since xbox live service won't send me an email as to saying why I was banned. Is there any other way of figuring out why I was banned?

I'd try calling 1-800-4MYXBOX so to see if they can offer you any additional informtion. I've read posts on here where people called MS and found out what they had been banned for.

Check your bio - if you have anything there that can be taken out of context, that is probably the reason. You probably beat some guy in Gears and he filed a complaint or something. This is why I leave my bio completely blank.

Were you boosting with other players in Gears 2 or were you playing straight up? They will suspend people for boosting.getyeryayasout
Wha? No they don't. People boost all the time.

I have never heard of a person getting suspended for boosting. I don't see how it would violate any part of Microsofts ToS. I could be wrong.

People do boost all the time, and people do get suspended for boosting.


They don't suspend people for boosting.. if they did the top people would constantly be suspended.

If you ever listen to the Major Nelson podcast, the head of Xbox live Security (dont know his exact title) Stepto has said numerous times that people wont get banned for boosting. Only for cheating and hacking to cheat.

I stand corrected, I'd swear it was in the ToS though. Sorry for any misinformation.getyeryayasout
No problems, I could have just as easily been mistaken.

Its the players you play online with, although you don't cheat,hack or cause trouble in the game, people might've been thinking that you cheat ingame due to your experience. I'm telling you, theres to many kids online doing all sorts of stupid crap. Your just gonna have to contact xbox customer support or whatever.

Lord.... Kids these days....
