The Official "I've been sent to Banadu" Thread
Been banned from matchmaking for modding, cheating, boosting, being a jerk? Post about it and how it was your little brother's fault here. Other threads about this subject can be locked and posters may end up as residents in the official Bungie.net version of Banadu.
Warnings were given:
[i]The Bad News First[/i]
From [url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14568]July 3rd Weekly Update[/url]
[i]Recently, we’ve seen a moderate influx of things appearing in File Shares that don’t belong there. Some this is just tweaked content from Halo 3 that has been uploaded in sundry and illegal fashions. In fewer cases, there have been a relatively small number of incidents of folks uploading inappropriate non-game content to the File Share.
[b]Fair warning: Users who have modified content on their File Share - regardless of who created said content - will be subjected to the full power of the Banhammer’s thrust. This includes some never-before-unleashed technology that will effectively terminate your Halo multiplayer experience online in every imaginable facet.[/b] In fact, the ban is so thorough that simply calling it the Banhammer is a complete understatement. I just couldn’t come up with a more hyper-exaggerated term that had the same feel. Banplatform? Banpocalpyse? Banmageddnon? None of those did the trick.[/i]
Punishments are metered.
Justice is served.
Why so harsh? Because ultimately, the potential blowback for something like Fileshare is pretty grand. The Fileshare is not to enable players to put up whatever they want and think it's hilarious, regardless of how harmful or harmless [i]you[/i] think it is.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HaloGuru13 Yay!!! A place to lol at rule breakers![/quote]Meh, in my opinion, this whole attempt to make a sticky for the "banadu" residents is nothing but lukems wearing a sign that says "Hooray for not being able to represent Bungie properly!"

Dude, I'm part of a group dedicated to reporting these people, so this is hard work paid off.

[/quote] did you change the name or anything? If you didn't, the ban is temporary.

If you come across a picture in someones file share that contains nudity and says "Halo is rated M not E" or anything even remotely similar to it DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!! The Banhammer has no sympathy and Xbox Live without Halo is like Kool-Aid with no sugar! I did it, I got banned forever, and yes it was my own fault.

To handledmeat, saying you put stuff up in your fileshare (which is public domain) because it was funny is like spraypainting "hammertime" on a stop sign and telling a judge you did it because it's funny. He isn't going to say "Oh man, I LOVE MC Hammer don't worry then, it's k :-)," he is going to tell you "here, have 100 hours of community service for vandalism" Bungie makes their rules and allows you to have fileshare to post content, since you broke their rules you have to pay their price.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Old Papa Rich [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Skeltoro I Pretty harsh.[/quote] When you think of the possible ramifications of this behavior, I don't think so[/quote] File share ban's all fine and good but MM? Would you say it's fair for someone having a rick roll being punished just as much as someone who has disgusting pictures? The people with the disgusting pictures should be MM banned but not the rick rolls and I haz bucket etc.

i like it. its up front , no mistaking the rules now. gotta double check my stuff now . it seems like everyone is going BANanas. whats with it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Precursors I'm perfectly content to sacrifice my social life for the ability to score better than the rest of my classmates on standardized tests and its worked so far for me. [/quote] um, you know you don't have to sacrifice a social life to do well on tests, right? you should check in to that. school/college aren't all about books (grad school, on the other hand, is). there's my wise words of advice for the day. you're welcome.

What about the dangers of modified content, no matter what they are? With the inappropriate images already making their way in, isn't it obvious why they draw the line so abruptly? It is about being fair to the people who do not engage in this sort of behavior at all. It is about being fair to the people who work at Bungie. They could lose their reputation and more if they don't step in and stop this crap.

I was in a party one day with my friend and that zZDarkLegacyZz guy joined the party. And he said that Bungie is trying to criminally prosecute him for the file share pictures. So, be lucky that the system doesn't flag you as THE creator of the pictures
