MS Ban Hammer - 10.30.09

Stupid theory. If you knew anything about IP addressing, you would know that you have probably had 1000 different IPS's by then. They would have to flag the block which is impossible.

 

No, I havent been banned yet but I am fully expecting to be. luckily I have 2 spare consoles.. maybe they will get me by till the next wave..

 

What a stupid statement!

 

Are most of these bans from 1.61 or evenly spread out? Would be helpful if people listed their firmware and which games they played (or which games they played early) instead of just saying they got banned.

 

This is my first ban wave. How does this usually work? Does all modded consoles usually get banned? Are some lucky? If you aren't banned by now, does this mean your safe? Does anyone have a clue or are these all guesses? lol

 

are you banned or not?

 

No, I have not been banned.

 

1.6

 

Check previous ban wave posts and in there theres alot of info on how you can get banned, check it out. All i can tell you is be prepared for anything.

 

Moreso that you felt compelled to reply.

 

Or is it that you replied to the reply that someone posted. lol just saying this is a never ending cycle unless i declare im the biggest idiot here and no one else can continue this.

I'm also not banned (at least yet) i have 1.6 ben q

 

i tryed it and i can sign in .. still on 1.6 firmware . wonder if that 1.6.1 firmware leaked today had anything as well ?

 

Hahah you got me! It's all in fun guys. I have not been banned yet but I knew the rules before entering the game. There must be a way microsoft is able to ping the drive.. or maybe if they "can't" ping the drive.. who knows.

 

my 2 boxes are still good

 

Ping the drive? OMG.... do you even know what Ping means?

 

out of 10 or so friends , 3 have been banned. At least 10 of my customers whom I have modded have been banned. No rhyme or reason. Some have 1.51 some have 1.6 and none had 1.61 ( that were banned)
Seems that forza achievments might have been the cause. But who really knows ? All my boxes are clean *knock on wood*

 

So they all played forza ??

 

Im connected in live but my profile motto says Code of Conduct?!?? WTF lol

 

Just The Facts.. after reading thread i am seeing that now one likes speculation so i will tell you my ban

Xbox - Original Day One AKA Old Yeller[]No Errors No RROD[]Hitachi FW:1.51
Played In Past Month - GTA IV, Boderlands, Forza 3, All Have Been Originals ( So i didn't play them early)( also i didn't play the backups just made them )
Using A Sata Kreon Drive XBC'd (Yes Proper Settings) waited until 100% green on ABGX360 ( Yes Proper Settings ) at 2:00pm Eastern Time got the kick offline while playing forza still rented copy. Called M$ they would not disclose why my console was banned, after prodding and listening to the guy read a script for five minutes i said.. "Listen stop reading the F'ing Script and tell me how to get online again, either i send you my box and you guys check it and unban me or i talk to a manager." he replied " sorry sir we will not accept your xbox console because it is not broken it is banned, if you want to play on xbox you will have to buy a new xbox." i asked for a manager and waited on hold for 30-40 mins (while playing forza 3 ) and then got hung up on. the big thing i got out of this was in there EULA they have the right to ban anyone for any reason off live, and they called my bluff.

Lastly i told my friends to disconnect from live immediatly and i will reflash with orig fw until this bru ha ha blows over... am i correct in assuming this or is it over for there consoles as well lol

ps it was good while it lasted ( pardon the spelling in a rush lol )
