Got Communications Banned on Xbox for 1 year…

A devastating news that happened to me this week. Got communications banned for a whole year on xbox. I didn’t notice that until today. The ban happened yesterday even though I wasn’t on Xbox at all playing games (was on the Xbox app for a little bit to see my messages and who was on). They banned me for the dumbest reason… all because of my activity feed. Got 10 out of the 8 strikes for activity feed. All the text posts I post on my feed are about that I went live on Twitch, pretty much letting my friends and followers on Xbox know that I’m streaming. Other things I share are my game clips and screenshots, which none of them got taken down. I believe someone must’ve false reported my text posts, no clue if that’s the reason why I got communications banned for a year. I can still play Xbox One/Xbox Series X/S games online but can’t use any communication features. I also can’t play Xbox 360 games online. If I want to play Xbox 360 games online during the duration of the ban, I have to play on my backup account. I submitted an appeal about it. Hopefully it’ll be approved and my ban gets shortened

Update: The appeal for the bans have been approved! Strikes/bans have been removed from my account! I am no longer communications banned! Now I can chat on my main account again!

[@joshuajones8817]

That was pretty messed up I'm glad you got your account back have fun playing Xbox game

[@TuyrzYT]

glad your back im currently dealing with something

[@OliverN3RD]

um, I don't know if you want to know this... however i Actually know who did this too you...

[@ALovelyRaven]

@@OliverN3RD You sure? Who was it? I got unbanned couple days after the ban since the appeal was approved

[@OliverN3RD]

il say who if you make a vid and keep me anonymous. i just dont want heat.

[@markniles877]

Once again the Enforcement Team banned another innocent streamer for no reason...what a BS. Thank God the appeal has been approved...this is something that you don't see everyday, well done Raven. 👏👏👏

[@ALovelyRaven]

Thanks, I appreciate it! 😊 I hope it doesn’t happen again for me and for everyone else that are innocent

[@Olzver.]

I havent been communications banned since November 2022 so i havent got a clue how the strike system works

[@ALovelyRaven]

Everyone starts with 0 strikes. If you have strikes, the duration of the ban adds up. If you get 8 strikes, you will be communication banned for 1 year. Strikes expire in 6 months

[@Olzver.]

@@ALovelyRaven alright thanks

[@RayPresley_VR]

Hate it when that happens i have a sister who has 2 strikes and have to wait until 12/24/24 r.i.p

[@ALovelyRaven]

That’s a long time!

[@user-iw2bn3gz1n]

I used to get comms banned pretty regularly back in the day. So many times infact thst i got my brothers console baned because i was signed into it last. I had to give him my console until the ban was up😂

[@ALovelyRaven]

Lol 😂 It’s not fun to be comm banned, there’s really nothing to do on Xbox while being comm banned

[@TuyrzYT]

im curious what happens if you get 8 strikes

[@ALovelyRaven]

I had more than 8 strikes when that happened. It stayed at one year. All the strikes except for 1 of them got removed

[@TuyrzYT]

@@ALovelyRaven alr thanks

I got a 1 year com ban so I know how you feel I still got 9 months left.

[@ALovelyRaven]

I was comm banned for a year but the ban was lifted early because the appeal was approved on the same month that video was uploaded

[@Aflictionz]

RIP :(

[@Mod2LAGGY06]

Probably for privacy xbox security has made it where you cant say your live due to safely reasons when you live i just put the games title

[@ALovelyRaven]

Since the ban was lifted, I stopped posting “live on Twitch” posts on my activity feed. I post them on my stories on social media. Now, I just share my clips and screenshots on my activity feed on xbox

[@LICKSTERxx]

I got a 2 day one fir literally nothing i dont talk to anybody other than on my friend's list

[@ALovelyRaven]

I don’t do game chat at all because people are toxic. I just talk to friends. When messaging people, I don’t put any offensive language/bad words

[@JayTheInfinite]

Wow that's some bs

[@ALovelyRaven]

Yeah, it is

[@masonowens1459]

what if u get banned one time is that a year

[@ALovelyRaven]

Everyone starts at 0 strikes. The amount of strikes you get varies on what the reason why you got comm banned. If you have 1 strike, it’s 2 days. Ban duration increases if you get more strikes before they expire. Strikes expire in 6 months

[@MellowDee_x]

They’re taking the piss!!!

[@MrDreamComeTrue]

Same thing happened to me today i would say take your twitch and discord off i got my first Strike ends at 5:30pm central time today 😂😂

[@ALovelyRaven]

I removed some of my old live on twitch text posts on my activity feed but didn’t have time to remove all of them because it would take forever to remove all of them. My Xbox profile bio has some of my socials but it’s still been up for years. I didn’t see any rule on the code of conduct that we’re not allowed to self promote or anything like that

[@GamerPartyLive]

You won’t get this problem on a PS5 Sony actually cares about there gamers but it’s ridiculous how microsoft bans people for no reason

[@ALovelyRaven]

I kinda don’t know if innocent players get wrongfully banned on PlayStation. I just think getting banned for no reason/dumb reasons is getting out of hand. I’ve been an Xbox player since 2009

[@zuo]

Playstation has the same code of conduct 🤦

[@SkyLight724]

I got for one year banned for no reason by looking for group I was just trying to get player on my server looking for post is broken

[@ALovelyRaven]

That’s so dumb! I don’t know what’s going on with the Xbox enforcement team

[@SkyLight724]

@@ALovelyRaven yea they are dumb so I get unbanned on November anyway make me I wanna move to PlayStation because Xbox is just broken at this point

[@ALovelyRaven]

Yeah, I saw! I was wrongly banned on October 2023 but couple days after on that same month, they banned was lifted when I made an appeal

[@LuckyTheGamer573]

I left my Xbox account alone, mainly because of this

[@ALovelyRaven]

I haven’t posted anymore “live on twitch” posts on my activity feed since I got unbanned

[@LXDBrandon]

Activity feed also means ur active feed on gaming in games like getting com banned on call of duty probably rude people falsely reporting in games you’ve been playing a lot of call of duty lately and there’s a lot of sad salty people on call of duty

[@ALovelyRaven]

It seems like I was falsely banned because the appeal has been approved. Strikes and bans have been removed from my account. Been playing old COD games, not the newer ones

[@forthejoke]

😢😢😢wuuuuut that's some BS

[@ALovelyRaven]

They pretty much banned me for the dumbest reason ever. One year is a very long time

[@MellowDee_x]

That’s some actual bullshit!!!!

[@MellowDee_x]

You did NOTHING wrong! Just cos of your activity feed!! You’re not offensive, rude or derogatory in anyway!!!

[@ALovelyRaven]

I don’t see anything wrong about “live on twitch” posts. I post about that on my feed because I want to let my friends/followers know that I’m streaming. I don’t see anything on their community standards rules about that we’re not allowed to post “going live on any streaming platform” on activity feed on Xbox. They should take the bans away from me so I can talk on my main account again

Account Eligible for an appeal Start date: 25/3/23, 2:44 am End date: Indefinite Rip❤

[@BudWeiser-xl8tn]

Careful because if you get like 10 strikes it will console ban you

[@ALovelyRaven]

Since my appeal was approved, ban was lifted early and they removed the strikes. My console didn’t get banned. My text posts on my activity feed was “live on Twitch” posts. I was letting my followers know that I went live

[@burnoutteamclubbtcp7283]

I'm a lucky xbox user. because i always follow microsoft's guideline and was never banned.

[@ALovelyRaven]

I didn't really violate any guidelines. They just falsely banned me. I'm not banned anymore because the appeal was approved, ban was lifted

[@paganYT]

dont worry, I was combanned for a year too, cuz dumb bs too

[@ALovelyRaven]

I was comm banned for a year but the appeal was approved, ban was lifted. Four months have passed since the ban was lifted, I got comm banned again but for one week, now it’s over

[@andrewofarrell3581]

Why did you get banned you did nothing wrong what you going to do now you going to make other username raven that is bullshit you did nothing wrong I feel bad for you raven 😢

[@ALovelyRaven]

Well, I can still play Xbox One/Xbox Series X/S games online but can’t use any communication features and play Xbox 360 games online. If I want to talk to people in parties and play Xbox 360 games online, I have to use a backup account. I remember the time Xbox raided me and gifted 50 subs on twitch while I was streaming XDefiant. Xbox is dumb for banning me for the dumbest reason ever, all just because of my activity feed. I didn’t post anything offensive on there. Text posts I posted are about that I went live on twitch.

Theres no free speech in Xbox anymore if the employees at Xbox even get offended or pressed by this they need to seek help asap

[@ALovelyRaven]

True! It’s weird that I was temporarily banned all because of “live on twitch” posts. Since my appeal was approved, I’m not banned anymore. I stopped posting “live on twitch” posts on my activity feed and set my activity feed to friends only. I don’t do game chat as well. I just be in a party with my friends or alone if my friends aren’t on. I’ve seen people done way worst things such as harassment, cheating, saying inappropriate things, etc. but they don’t get banned. They get away with it

[@Iam_will0]

Nah that's just crazy suspended you for 1 year just for activity feed you didn't do nothing at all, if they dont approve your appeal Microsoft ain't it so sorry for all this

[@ALovelyRaven]

I didn’t post anything offensive. All I posted in text on my activity feed was about that I went live on twitch. I don’t see anything on their community standards rules that we’re not allowed to post “live on any streaming platform” on the activity feed

Console is not worth it! Get a PC you can't get banned. Also better FPS and better graphics! Plus you can play multiple games at once! On console all you get is banned, muted, red ring of death and overheating!
