Got banned playing at work?

Can I get banned for playing at a military base?

2

Can work PC devices interfering with the game?

9

Dear Bungie, It was my first time playing this game at work, and for some reason, when I went home the next day, I got banned!!! I worked at a Marine military base in Florida and was playing Destiny 2 at work with my buddies. But after I got home the next day and logged on and it says I got banned. I differently wasn't cheating because our computers do not allow any "hacking" software to be installed on our system. Could this be a mistake or some of our software on our PC was interfering with the game? Could you please look into it. Because this game is entertaining and there aren't many entertainments we can do as a solider during after hour, and I wish I can still play with my same account. Thank you, and appreciated.

Thank you, and appreciated.[/quote] [spoiler] There are 3 types of punishments for Destiny/Bungie. Bans, Restrictions and Suspensions. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. BANS are permanent and apply to the whole game. The message usually says: "NOT SO FAST! This account has been banned." And looks like this http://imgur.com/gallery/Tw7g7Jg RESTRICTIONS are temporary. The message usually says: "RESTRICTED! This account is temporarily restricted from _______." And looks like this http://imgur.com/gallery/st40PuU If it is your 1st RESTRICTION it's USUALLY 2 weeks. If it is your 2nd RESTRICTION it's USUALLY 2 months. RESTRICTIONS can stack on each other, usually due to the severity and frequency of multiple reports overtime. So 2 weeks AND 2 months, so to most players there won't be a 2nd splash screen and the RESTRICTION ends later than expected. RESTRICTIONS USUALLY end during the reset of that week and not the day of. If you have had 2 prior RESTRICTIONS a 3rd penalty can either be a much longer RESTRICTION or a lifetime RESTRICTION from Crucible and Gambit or a full on lifetime BAN from the entire game. SOMETIMES you will be given a splash screen that looks like this http://imgur.com/gallery/GpYKBGG warning you of an issue so you can fix it before a restriction is placed. In-Game Gambit/Competitive Crucible SUSPENSIONS are only 30-60mins and placed AUTOMATICALLY if you leave too many games in a short time span for ANY reason. Whether it be a ddos, error code or power outage. The message usually says: "TIME OUT! You left a ______ match before it was complete…." And looks like this for Competitive and Gambit http://imgur.com/gallery/stqxYIj They WILL NOT respond or message you. They WILL NOT tell why a punishment was issued. EDIT: [Recently (as of June 28/2019) SOMETIMES BNGSecurity will give a general reason why the punishment was placed. They look like this http://imgur.com/a/mdFAQ1A] They don't have to. They don't care. Loyalty. Time played. Content purchased. Gear earned. When you started. Intent. Threats. Begging. It is all irrelevant. They make the rules. We have to follow them. Break them and they penalize you. There is NO course of action to appeal any punishment issued. They WILL NOT lessen or remove any punishment issued for any reason. They've had this no tolerance policy since Day 1 of D1. It won't change anytime soon. The reasons most ppl have a punishment issued to them is: For some form of cheating (ddossing, afk farming). Playing with cheaters (paying for a carry, sharing account info, or staying in a lobby with a cheater for too long and benefiting from their illegal actions). Or having consistently terrible internet connection that it affects OTHERS players and not just yourself. You may be playing fine. But to others you may appear as an unkillable red-bar. For most PC tagalongs: They are banned because SOMETHING installed on your PC (ACTIVE cheats for D2 or other games can trigger this) was viewed as a POTENTIAL threat to D2 and those are PROMPTLY BANNED. The process for BANS and RESTRICTIONS involve reports coming in from players or their flag system towards an individual. The Bungie monkey at HQ reviews it. And they decide if it was warranted or not.  [/spoiler]

  • List all the programs running on your PC. That's the only way we can help you figure out why you were banned

  • What software runs on your pc while playing usually? If your job at military is computer based and you have compiling or debugging software it could cause it.

  • Playing from a military base will not cause a ban. Typically, pc bans are due to software detected by Destiny 2 while running. These include but not limited to, trainers, aimbots, auto-fire, mods, graphics hacks, anything that injects code into games, debuggers for programing, even some viruses. any of these could cause a ban, [b]even if not destiny 2 specific[/b] [b]Restrictions are temporary, and will not be overturned or undone before they expire. Once an account is banned however, that ban is permanent. Account restrictions and bans are only done in extreme cases; if actions were taken against your account, then it was with reason. [/b] [b]There are NO options to dispute or overturn account restrictions or bans.[/b] Bans are lifetime for that account https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/1179836392953675776 <- Most recent info [url=http://www.bungie.net/bans]bans and restrictions policy page[/url] [i]*I am not a Bungie representative, just a player trying to give the answers that are available.[/i]

    • Being in a military area or other PCs around you cant get you banned. I have multiple friends in military areas and bases playing Destiny 2 fine. Only whats in YOUR pc can get you banned.

    • Why is this a poll? If you were banned, you either had cheating programs or some sort of program that can inject code on your computer and it was flagged to be reviewed. I know, I know, you have nothing like that and have never cheated in your life. Maybe bngsecurity will come call you out and tell everyone what you did, maybe not. Either way that account is done and there is no appealing it.
