Yet pretty much no one else in your matches that you lagged out of were thrown out as well?
No where did you say it’s the only game you lag or get disconnected from, at least not on the two last pages.
I’m free to respond to anything I want to respond to on this forum, and I do read the things I respond to, and I may join any conversation I like, so no, I won’t be quiet.

Furthermore, I don’t think anyone from i343 has ever responded to anything in this thread, and they’re the ones handling the bans, so you won’t get a response out of them, especially if you behave like you do.
The next best thing are regular forum goers and sometimes a moderator (who isn’t an i343 employee) will post their best guess as to why you or anyone else are banned.

If you’ve port forwarded and otherwise optimised your connection and internet setup for Xbox Live yet still have issues with Halo 5, I recommend you check what kind of router you have, if it has an IP TV specific wire port (if you use wire), check how it works with the Xbox, and check with your ISP if there’s anything they can do because there has been at points issues between some ISPs and Microsoft’s XBL servers.

Being rude to anyone here won’t alleviate any ban issues you have with i343, other than perhaps make yourself feel better by letting off some steam.

And I said that you didn’t say at any point before that Halo 5 is the only game you lag out of.
Sure you said it, it was in your post I quoted, where I said that you didn’t say anything about it before.

Next post of yours:

I think you’re here to get your banned lifted, if it’s still active, and to reset your ban timer, from a problem you don’t fully understand and do not have all the information about.

Yes I did 6 times omg why haven’t u saw them stop lying I said this a lot of times just replying to my post

And lagging out out means u get banned

You said you lagged out six times from Halo 5.
You never said Halo was the only game you do not lag out of, prior to when you said it back then with my longer post.

Later post of yours:

Only if you disconnect in excess

I’ve just been banned for 7 hours , I’m tired of this it seems like it wants to ban me . I was playing slayer and then I started lagging so I quit the game and fixed and check my connection after it was fine I played and finished a game of team arena and straight after we lost the server disconnected and now I’m ban this happens all the time it ensures that as long as I leave a game I get ban

So the game you quit because you felt laggy is likely what triggered the ban. The banhammer runs ~1 game behind you, so after you finished your next game (Team Arena), the ban kicked in. The server didn’t disconnect; you just got banned immediately after the game. That is why your history shows you as finished that Team Arena game.
Even if you are experiencing lag, don’t quit. Finish your laggy game, then troubleshoot your connection. Quitting for any reason just makes bans more likely.

I got Halo yesterday and I’ve already been banned twice for losing connection. I finished a multi game today and it said connection lost and then it told me I’m banned… I don’t want this to keep happening! What do I do?

Looking over your total history, you appear to have quite a few DNFs for just starting out Halo. What you thought was “connection lost” was actually the banhammer kicking in. You most recent DNF triggered the ban, but the banhammer runs ~1 game behind schedule, so it didn’t kick in until you finished your next game. As soon as that game finished, the ban kicked in, making it seem like you disconnected (you didn’t, the ban just kicked in as soon as the game completed).
As for what you can do to prevent future bans, well, 1) stop quitting, or 2) if you are having actual connection issues, troubleshoot your connection. Look at ping, look at packet loss, switch to wired connection, maybe contact your ISP.

Yes I quit games yesterday and I got banned for 12 mins. I didn’t realize you get banned for quitting. Today I have only quit one game and that’s because I wasn’t going to play anymore. How many times can you quit until being banned?

Well, once the system issues an initial ban for quitting, continuing to quit runs the risk of getting you lengthier bans. So, it’s not a matter of how many times you can quit before being banned; now its everytime you quit, you will get a longer ban. Again, your best bet to prevent bans is to not quit. Finish your matches, and if you think you may not want or be able to complete your next match, maybe just don’t even enter matchmaking. But once you are in a match, try to finish it (if it’s an emergency that you need to quit, then you need to quit, but just know that the system is watching so you better only quit when you absolutely need to).

This ^^

Regardless of why you quit, you still quit the game. The system has no way of knowing why and saying you had a legitimate reason to quit is irrelevant.

I believe I once got banned for constant “suicide” on breakout before the game even started.

Quit 1 game, played 2 more got the banhammer then. Okay then. Solid system in place there.

OK first off No I did not quit I learned my lesson from that. Now I was playing halo 5 arena and it took sometime to connect to the server and when everybody finally connected, it says disconnected from server. :expressionless: And it takes me the loading screen after that it says" you have been banned from h5 and my cool down time is 6d:17:15:14. And I’m like WTF so all the other people in that lobby got disconnected from the game and all the players messaged me saying did you get banned for 6 days and I said yeah. And everybody in that game got a 6 day ban and I mean EVERYBODY we all got into a party and discussed it and everybody was pissed, cause all 8 of us got the same about of time. What do I do I wish I could show you a pic but I don’t know how to on the halo forums, if there’s a way tell me so I can show the pic.

Now I’ve been banned for not being able to LEAVE THE POST CARNAGE RESULTS!! I am now demanding a response from an official for this. Three times being banned for finishing games is enough! The game wouldn’t even show the results. It just gave me a blurred image of Infinity. So I dashboard, restarted the game, then got banned. I want to answer to this now and I want this fixed.
