Are you serious? I mean yes several previous stories are about getting banned for no really good reasons, but yours actually wins IMO. I mean wow it seems you can get kicked out of places just for somebody else grabbing you.Lyiat said:
OT: I can't remember being banned from anything before, though with the amount of immaturity on Xbox Live these days..... it's only a matter of time.....
My tick rate being off in CS:S. Don't know what it is supposed to be as I don't play any more and never played seriously, don't know what the difference is either but if it has anything to do with my hitbox it's fair enough.
Not a very noob friendly game CS:S, but I was only looking for a half hour ganders so just changed servers.
Used to get kicked with my clan in CoD2 for being awesome, but I was also a cocky bastard back then and probably deserved it.

Banned on Rainbow 6 vegas II just because I wasn't as high a rank as the other people. I actually acquired more kills than most of them in the ten minutes I stayed, but because I was 5 ranks below everyone else in terrorist hunt, I was banned :SRomblen said:
Wankers.
My friend in CoD4 was banned from a server for, and I quote "having too high a score." That was the ban message too, it wasn't something a player told him before he got banned. Their team sucked by the way. In Broadcast deathmatch I was able to get eleven kills without dieing, then the match was over (It was a low kill requirement of 25).
team kills on most fps games that i've played, most often frag gernades in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Banned from Halo 3's matchmaking for exp boosting. I found that rather interesting. Why? Read on:
I was helping some clan mates get the last few achievements in Social. I don't play Halo 3 much any more, but I helped out since they needed extra players.
We played about 20 games, and in total I got a net gain of about 7 experience, since I either threw the match for them to win, or we all quit out if the map or gametype was awful/unnecessary. We filled both teams, so we weren't affecting anyone else's game.
At the end of the night, I got a notification that I had been banned from gaining experience for two weeks, for boosting it.
Now, first of all - 7 experience from legitimate games isn't what I'd call boosting. Second, I'm a Brigadier grade 2, I don't need experience. Third, I was in a full party and played numerous games with said party, not encroaching on anyone else's games or ruining it for anyone. Lastly, why weren't some of the other guys who earned more experience in the same match streak banned? It simply banned me and one of the other guys. Regardless, I didn't care-I don't play Halo much and I don't care about experience, and never did.
A few days later, a friend came on who I hadn't played with in ages, so we jumped in social and played a few matches, I helped him get a few achievements along the way as well.
A message then popped up saying I was banned from matchmaking entirely for two weeks, for boosting my experience. Now, re-read my post thus far - The system thinks I was exp boosting, so it stops me earning exp for two weeks. During said two weeks, I was banned for boosting the exp that I couldn't gain. That makes a whole lot of sense.
I mean, that's like getting fined for speeding in your car, getting the car taken off you, and then getting banned from driving for speeding when you didn't even have your car any more.

Oh, I also got banned from a BF2 server for sneezing while my mic was turned on.

I headshotted an admin, and got perma-banned.
Ridiculous as hell, I swear to god all I did was headshot him. I ended his killstreak and he banned me.
