Wrongfully Banned

Gamertag - Sk1llJoy

Game Mode: HC Domination
Leaderboard Rank: 1000
KDR: 2.2

 

 

Member for 5 years. Elite Member

 

I was banned for Error Code: 1000 on February 21, 2013. Error Code 1000 is for Boosting.


Boosting is defined as: Any user who colludes with another user to exploit the game for the purpose of gaining XP, prestige, game score, weapon level, or in-game unlock is subject to penalty.

 

 

As defined here, http://community.callofduty.com/message/413500949#413500949

 

So, my question is this:

 

Why was I banned if I was never colluding with the opposing team? I admit that I have spawn trapped and spawn killed and I have done it on Terminal which everyone knows the spawn trap on Terminal. However, I have never been in agreeance with the opposing team. My team mates know strategies that we use to manipulate the map and control it to our advantage which is the goal of the game.

 

Anyway, my stats were reset, I was banned for 48 hours. I've got multiple messages from users saying that they have reported me for boosting simply because I beat them every single day. THE MW3 Community has shrunk to roughly 500 Active players that play on a daily basis so you see a lot of the same individuals.

 

I'm a legit player, I've done gamebattles and reached low gb ranks, I've done the youtube community bullcrap.. I played Search and Destroy prior to domination and reached the top on the leader boards.. These call of duty games just cater to kids and people who are bad at the game hence the new BO2 game style with it's noob capacity.

 


I was banned for "Boosting" when I never boosted.

    The link to the Banning Policy you posted is for Black Ops 2, not MW3.

     

    This is for MW3: https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Banning-Policy/?l=en_US&c=Game _Title%3AAll&fs=Search&pn=1

     

     

    Boosting (1000):

    Any player demonstrating 'game abuse' in the form of organizing cooperative or single game play for the purpose of gaining experience, prestige, score, weapon levels, icons, titles, or other related in-game unlocks.

    1. First Offense: With proper verification, user is banned for 48 hours and stats are reset.
    2. Second Offense: With proper verification, user is banned for 7 days and stats are reset.
    3. Third Offense: With proper verification, user is banned for 5000 days and stats are reset.

    Just because you claim you didn't agree verbally or non-verbally to collude with the other team doesn't mean you can take advantage of the respawning system and not give the enemy the chance to run away or defend themselves. The fact that you admit to having knowledge of the Respawn Point and taking advatage of it only proves Activision's defense and reason for banning you.

     

    Spawn Killing is no different from Boosting the tradtional way: with use of a Tac-In Flare. You know where they're respawning and you can kill them instantly the moment they respawn. The fact that you did this over and over again proves you Boosted.

    What is the goal? Is it Spawn Killing? Is it earning Killstreak Rewards? Is it to have a high K/D? Is it earning a MOAB? Is it to have a high rank on the Leaderboards?

     

    There's a probable chance your teammates will join you soon.

    You got reported not because you beat them every single day as you so arrogantly brag, but because you Spawn Killed them.

     

    Those players are probably just kids trying to learn the game and you killed them over and over again by Spawn Killing.

    There are other factors to consider why the MW3 Community has shrunk:

     

    People have jobs, school, realtionship, family to take care of, players don't want to deal with cheaters, etc...

     

    Another one to consider is that some people aren't playing because they got banned. So, they can't play or won't play because of shame or fear that the next time they get caught they will be Banned for 5,000 hours (13 years).

      Re: Wrongfully Banned

      Frats, I wouldn't expect a logical answer from you being as you're just an inexperienced Team Deathmatch player with a 0.7 KDR. You shouldn't even be allowed to give advice about gaming.

       

      "Just because you claim you didn't agree verbally or non-verbally to collude with the other team doesn't mean you can take advantage of the respawning system and not give the enemy the chance to run away or defend themselves.

      "Spawn Killing is no different from Boosting the tradtional way: with use of a Tac-In Flare. You know where they're respawning and you can kill them instantly the moment they respawn. The fact that you did this over and over again proves you Boosted."

       

      The respawning system is not my problem. If it is screwed up that is the developers job to patch it. Spawn Killing/Trapping is completely different than boosting. Boosting means that you are in agreeance with the opposing team on a specific task to gain rank, emblems, etc.

       

      Spawn Killing only proves that my team knows the strategy and how to control the map. It is not my problem nor my concern if the enemy team gets locked into a trap and gets destroyed. The objective of the game is to win. I am not cheating, I am not using a modded anything or doing anything that any other player cannot do himself.

       

      What is the goal? Is it Spawn Killing? Is it earning Killstreak Rewards? Is it to have a high K/D? Is it earning a MOAB? Is it to have a high rank on the Leaderboards?

       

      No, the goal is to win obviously you're an idiot.

       

       

       

      You got reported not because you beat them every single day as you so arrogantly brag, but because you Spawn Killed them.

       

      Those players are probably just kids trying to learn the game and you killed them over and over again by Spawn Killing.

       

      Incorrect, I was reported because I dropped moabs on Arkaden, Hardhat, Seatown, and Lockdown. Without spawn killing. I said that I have spawn trapped before. I haven't even done the spawn trap in months. I can easily get 80-95 kills on Lockdown by simply running circles around A flag while we have captured C and B.

      People have jobs, school, realtionship, family to take care of, players don't want to deal with cheaters, etc...

      The point I was making is that the main reason the community has shrunk is due to Black Ops 2. Obviously, again you're a moron.

        Are you sure you got the right one?

         

        My K/D is 1.67 and I never bragged about beating other players every single day or being better than anyone.

         

        The fact that I'm an honest gamer is more than enough reason to give you advice.

         

        ** If K/D's determine who gives advice to who, then who are you allowed to give advice to, Mr. Banned and Reset with 0.0 K/D?

        You're not the first one to post about getting banned and claiming ignornace or justifying their actions by blaming the mechanics of the game and stating that it's broken. We all know it's broken, but we never Spawn Killed.

        Didn't you gain rank in the Leaderboard before you got Banned and Reset?

        Those are other factors why the MW3 Community has shrunk. Black Ops 2 is not exclusively the reason why people don't play MW3.

         

        Not everybody who isn't playing MW3 is playing Black Ops 2. Those aren't the only things in the world to do.

         

        Furthermore, you're the moron. You're the one who Violated Activision's Banning Policy and got banned.

         

        Have a nice day.

    You're a complete tool. Here, I will provide you with enough video evidence to justify my skill level. I was wrongfully banned. Reported by players who lack the skill set to defeat me so they organize spam reports against me.

     

    Pistol Only MOAB

      In addition, Boosting will not be changed to "leet gaming skills" even in light of your suggestion.

        No guy, they show my credibility as an above average player and the fact that I am capable of obtaining extremely high scores without "boosting" as you suggested.


        Here is the procedure, correct me if I'm wrong, on how the reporting procedure works.

         

         

        1. Complaintant files a report on said booster.
        2. If enough complaints are filed, a flag is raised.
        3. Developer/Enforcer will verify the complaint by checking server stats & points.
        4. Decision will be made as to whether or not the said booster, boosted.

         

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGwq76tovCY&feature=youtu.be

         

        So, if enough people report me for alledgely boosting and the enforcerment team checks my stats and see's consecutive stats I am banned. That does not mean I actually did it. It's a flaw, it's crap. I was banned for boosting, but never boosted.

          It's not the number of complaints. It's the number of verified complaints. Verification takes time.

           

          You just admitted earlier that you Spawn Killed in Terminal. Justifying your behavior as Strategy and stating that you don't care if the enemy gets trapped.

           

          Spawn Trapping as I've stated has been around for many years now that has been used in Domination. One team captures Two Points and allows the enemy to capture the Third Point and just Spawn Trap them in that "area".

           

          Even though the enemy team is trapped in one specic "area", they can still move around to a safe spot and try to run away or capture a Point secured by an enemy. Thus, earning a chance to turn the tide and win, or lose but still tried because they had an open chance.

           

          Spawn Killing is different from Spawn Trapping because they will only respawn in one "spot" and are not given a chance to run away or defend themselves. Which is why the comparison to Boosting via Tac-In Flare is logically valid and takes precedence.

           

          Hence, the Code (1000) - Boosting.

           

          Viewing Heat Maps in Recent Matches shows where the player and the enemy are when the kill happened. If the enemy is getting killed repeatedly in one spot and the spot where he is killed is a known respawning area, you are in Violation of the Banning Policy.

           

          Infinity Ward's Ban Bammer will also check the time as in how long it took the player to live before he died, frequency of death, average life span in seconds, etc...

           

          You could have easily allowed him to run away somehwere else, that way even if he gets killed by someone else, he willl respawn somewhere else. Hopefully, a safer one that is not in direct line of fire.

           

          Your defense that you didn't Boost becasue you didn't agree or collude with someone from the enemy team is not an acceptable defense. As in law, there are other forms of contracts that range from verbal, non-verbal and written contracts that also extend to other people and parties. There may not have been contract between you and the person or persons you kept killing over-and-over again, but your acknowledgement of knowing where the respawn points are and taking advantage of that knowledge with your teammates to Spawn Kill and not Spawn Trap makes you guilty of Boosting; as per Activision's Banning Policy regarding Boosting: https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Banning-Policy/?l=en_US&c=Game _Title%3AAll&fs=Search&pn=1

           

           

           

          All kidding aside, I believe you have skill. I would hate to legitimately play against you even on a good day. You most likely kept killing without even knowing what was going on and just got caught up in the moment that you failed to see what was going on around you. You didn't even have knowledge that what you were doing was technically Boosting. Unfortunatley, the Banning Policy is irreversible.

           

          Ignorance of the law does not make you except from it.
