This news sucks. What about people with CAG accounts? There's a thread there for giving away free codes. But you gotta be quick to get them. I have tried many that didn't wo0rk, as they had already been redeemed.



All I have ever gotten there is 48 hour trial codes...maybe someone gave me a generated one? sheesh who knows haha about to call them if they are open

If they look close enough into anyone I'm sure they could find something to ban everyone for. Even if it's something very small. This sucks to hear and I'm sure all us now are going to be very worried everyday when we turn our xboxes on.

The reason why I made this thread was to warn everyone and say, all it takes is a complaint. Melissa, you were a skeptic and thought I was trying to scare everyone. I hope everyone sees the severity of the situation. If I get banned I think I would cancel mu gears 3 console order and probably just quit playing altogether. Or continue playing offline with a second account primarily for XBL related games.

Ashley, are you console banned or just that ZombieYoshi account? Because (not trying to be a dick or anything) but it wouldn't take that long to get back to where you are (gamerscore wise, Im not sure how much game time you've put into that account), IMO. I know that this isn't the right way to look at it but Im just trying to help. Hopefully it was just a Micro$oft mistake but at the moment theres probably hundreds of people trying to get unbanned (for similar reasons), so I wish you the best of luck at trying to get a xbox customer service person who isn't going to be a complete dick and will actually try to help you out.

I don't think she was talking about closing THIS thread. I believe she was talking about someone needing to close the thread on the CAG website.

I wonder if you file a complaint on someone, if they investigate your account as well? Wouldn't mind filing a complaint on my ex-roommate...lol

No offenses taken here haha. I see what you mean cuz I have several hundred xbox games that I could easily pass this one, I just haven't had much time to do anything lately. I'd be much farther if I popped some of my easy 1k lego games and kid games in, I just haven't wanted to haha It was only an ID ban, not console.

At least you still have the option to start a new xbox live account. It could be worse but that still sucks...

I don't think they would ever get to the point where they would admit they were wrong and reverse a ban. It even says in the email that if you call they won't be able to help you.
