the ban right now does nothing because people still get the credits from the game they AFK in. here is how it should change
if you AFK in ANY gametype includeing campaign(unless it’s a custom CO-OP game) and AFK for the ENTIRE game, you get the credits from that game taken away, a 24 hour ban, and demoted a rank
this solution is the only way AFKing will stop in reach and we need to fix this to at least bring some people back

No, bans need to be taken out. They just limit fun. Just add the ability to kick people.
If someone doesn’t move for 60 seconds after they are flagged as afk (Option only available after 3 minutes of inactivity) kick rom game and they get no points. That’s a better option in my opinion.
So if I have diarrhea in the middle of a game of Reach I get banned and deranked? No thank you. People in the first place wouldn’t AFK as much if the game was actually any fun to play and had a decent ranking system, so lets fix that first.
I honestly don’t find it that annoying when people idle but maybe that’s just me.

What’s so fun about quiting, AFK’ing, boosting, and cheating?
Bungie didn’t put bans in for having fun. If you think any of those listed above are fun, then you indeed do perform them yourself.
Edit: As for the idea in the original post, I think it would work fine without demoting. If you take away their credits from the game they didn’t actually play, then they would not progress at all into their next rank.
Drop Probation, because Its difficult to stay in a fustrating game and quite frankly its pointless. Add a feature that kicks people after a certain amount of inactivity. Getting Deranked for going afk is stupid because some people have legitimate reasons for going afk. Plus say a honest inheritor has to go do something outside for a minute are you really going to demote him 13m credits just for an accident? It only takes years to rank up Past General. Believe me, I would Know.

key word in my post, ENTIRE game, going to the bathroom is fine as long as you dont take the whole game which would be pretty weird if you did

well for that to work the ban hammer, sword or whatever 343 is haveing needs to be made better so the game realizes more when people go AFK because its easy to go five or three games without th ban hammer noticeing

I said diarrhea which is quite the nasty stuff so I could honestly be out for 1 and half games…but honestly what most people think of this is that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Deranking, loosing credits, and getting banned because of one game of Halo: Reach, which is now a year old, is not appealing

Im sorry but i have to disagree, AFKrs are EXTREMELY bad right now, and the current ban system does absolutely NOTHING because people still get the credits from AFKng and dont care about not playing since they werent in the first place. deranking destroys the progress they make and teaches them a lesson, loseing credits for a game they werent in makes sense since they didnt earn it, and banning to stop them from ruining other peoples games.
and back to the diareah comment, im pretty sure it dosent take a whole game time to sort yourself out since i have had it several times before.

I’m tempted to continue this diarrhea discussion but for the sake of any unfortunate person who just wants to talk AFK bans I’ll stop
Having dedicated servers would allow the host just to remove players who are AFK for what they believe has been too long. So why aren’t you supporting them?

This. Why people AFK in the first place is because of the bad ranking system
