And, um, how did you arrive at that conclusion..

I think after reading all this that if you have been banned once then they are after you regardless of what measures you do.
I can vision it now if M$ are reading this now I bet they are laughing at us cus our theorys might be wrong. With M$ who knows.

datapusher - have you ever been banned before? Or is this your first time being banned.

- Was XBL auto sign-in enabled from the dashboard?
- Was there anytime your chip was on and your box connected to the internet, regardless of being on XBL or not?
- Are you sure there's nobody else using your Xbox?
- Is your XBL gamertag stored on your HD, or on a memory card?
- Do you have any modified files gamesaves (like for PGR2) that you use while on XBL?
- Did XBL send you a mail or give you any more info about why you were banned?

Set to not auto sign on
- Was there anytime your chip was on and your box connected to the internet, regardless of being on XBL or not?
Never. Since the first day I started using live 2 months ago I have yet to turn the chip on.
- Are you sure there's nobody else using your Xbox?
Yes
- Is your XBL gamertag stored on your HD, or on a memory card?
Whatever the default is. I assume hard drive since I don't have a memeory card.
- Do you have any modified files gamesaves (like for PGR2) that you use while on XBL?
If you mean ones that were downloaded from the net? No. Only the games that I play have gamesaves on them. And those were generated from the games themselves.
- Did XBL send you a mail or give you any more info about why you were banned?
Nopers.

| You know they read this board. it goes without saying. I am guessing that they are banning people with gamertags listed in their sigs. |
Actually, my unmodded box is working fine with my same Live account, so I doubt they're banning gamertags.

haha actully I have my xbox in a in this slide out thing, i dont have a switch for the hds. I just switch out the hd manualy everytime i wana go on live. I didnt feel like getting a xtender and i have like 4 hds i use on it one for media , games and so forth and my orginal drive for xbox live. I started doing that back when people claimed ur large hd would get u banned. So i started swaping. Well didnt work lol i just got banned and i had no unsigned software on the orginal drive so im sure somehow they detected durring use of other hds. But how i cant think. I do keep my xbox connected to the net since i stream music from my pc using xbmc..... Only thing though is i have a second xbox that is also modded with a xenium. I just copyed my gamer tag from the banned xbox and put it in the other one and also put the orginal drive with no modified software. That was 3 hours ago and i havent been banned again yet... and ive been logging on and off again. So really i have no idea if they saw that my other xbox was modded somehow they should have done the same with this one since its used just the same and is always connected in the living room for my family. So im stumped ........ ill let u know if this one gets banned by tomarrow.

Yes your unmodded box when they scan your hard drive they can see that so maybe certain gamertags that are listed in SIGS are marked for hard drive scan in there system possibly
