Why am I banned for using lfg to trade?

I was banned for posting "Blue Specter for sale" in lfg, for a game that has an in game player trade and currency(Skull and bones). In game chat is broken, so i resorted to "looking for group" post. Can you explain to me how that was a violation? I can't even attempt an appeal.

Was this a Looking For Group (LFG) post? If so, that would be why...whilst trading may be allowed within the game, using LFG posts for trading is against Xbox TOS.

And, yes, I am sure lots of people do it and don't get banned but that doesn't mean it's not against the rules

... or in short words: It's not allowed to use LFG for selling or trading. ^^

Hi there,

nobody in here will be able to assist with enforcement related questions or issues.
My personal assumption is that the reason for the enforcement action could have been this section:
'5. Fraud benefits no one' and then this example 'Sell in-game content outside of official in-game mechanisms and stores'

For more information in regards to enforcement actions see:

Yeah but all of fallout 76s LFG posts are about buying and trading since the game offers buying and trading in game with other players. So why did I get hit with a ban?

Ummm no using lfg for trading isnt allowed

It is looking for group

Posts only

Using the lfg for anything else.is spam

Thid is clearly stated in lfg neither of those suspensions were lifted or appealed as both were 24hours

So thousands of people should be getting banned everyday? Yea okay. Rockey league has a very big trading community and many people are trading in the lfg so...
