Was banned from communications for 24 hours.

Dude, 24 hours is nothing, i suggest just take it

If someone harasses you on xbox live you can report that person or block him/her from further communication. Retaliating is a breach of the Code of Conduct and as such object to enforecement acts. Since you can't file a case review for a 24 hrs ban I suggets
you to use this time to reflect on your actions and get to know the Code of Conduct: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/legal/codeofconduct

it is a 48 hour ban from communication. or 24 hour ban from xbox entirely. i beileive,

Hello BillyTheRanger



I understand where you’re coming from however the Xbox Enforcement Team does not use these forums, if you communicated only with your friends then one of them reported you and it doesn't matter
who started the fight if something was said that break the CoC and was reported, it will be punish accordingly. For information about your account suspensions or bans sign in at this site with your account at https://enforcement.xbox.com



Only an actual person from the Xbox Live Enforcement Team can impose or remove a suspension or ban on the account. - "Despite what some may claim, Xbox Live Policy
& Enforcement Team will never ever ban anyone “for no reason” and the 1st warning is upon making an account with Xbox and reading the CoC which is the first warning so your second warning is a Live suspension, repeated suspension can lead to perma banned depends
on the gravity of the violation. Suspensions always occur as a result of a specific Code of Conduct violation.

Was it a communication ban or a profile ban? I was communication banned once but it only lasted 24 hours but some of my friends have been banned from 2 days up to a month. If it was a profile ban I'd assume it's permanent but don't quote me on that.
