How many games did you disconnect from? Because you have 6 DNFs today and 4 more yesterday.
I donāt understand why the hell I was banned!!! I logged on and clicked a and out of nowhere, THE BAN HAMER STRIKES! Like why?

Click on your name and look at game history. You quitā¦ a lot. That is why you are banned, old quits donāt go away and the bans get longer every time.

If you disconnect 10 times a day, the your connection is the problem.
I know quitting matches is not cool, but banning someone for days on end for quitting matches? What is this, Soviet Russia? So what if someone quits the match, in past Halo games the system would throw in a new player; it was a pretty good system to keep the games even. But now we quit a few matches and its like weāre getting thrown in jail.
343, please consider changing your punishment for quitting matches. Maybe have an x hour ban max (like 6 hours or something) for the banhammer. Or erase the counter each day so we donāt have to be banned for days (unless weāre not finishing a match ever).

No it wouldnāt. The game would continue with the team missing a player. The only time JIP was implemented was in Halo 4, and thatās partly the reason why games failed so much.
Youāre warned every time you try to quit a match, and people are complaining that they actually enforce that warning.
Donāt quit and you wonāt get banned. Itās called taking responsibility.
Ok, first ban. I have never quit a match, but occasionally Iāll get the āyour fire team has changedā return to the menu. Well that happened randomly today, hit with 9 min ban. Is it normal to get banned after getting booted one time? Iāve been booted on occasion before but not too often. Anyway went to play warzone and during the gameplay I was taken to the load screen (the one with the knight) and it just froze there. This happened a few times again a couple with the āfire team has changed thing againā. Checked the connection and it says good. Anyone know what is going on? This is very frustrating. Are all of these ālag outā or ābootsā counting as quits? Again Iāve never quit a game on my own.

Your last 3 games all say DNF, along with two more today.
There has to be something wrong with your connection for it to consistently drop you.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe it is the connection. Yes those DNFs were from warzone. I tried to play it after the ban from slayer. Only one boot from arena got me the ban. Anyway Iāll try to play again tomorrow. Just strange since Iāve not been booted so much at one time.

Itās a video game, banning someone for more than 12 hours for quitting a match is fāin harsh, I donāt care who you are.

And you are to abide by the rules of said video game as they are clearly outlined to you, or else face the consequences. If you donāt agree with the rules, then donāt play the game.
You arenāt banned for more than 12 hours for quitting a match. Youāre banned for more than 12 hours for quitting multiple matches.
If you canāt take responsibility for something as menial as a āvideo gameā, how do you expect to take responsibility for something that actually matters?

Iām going to have to disagree with you because I see you throughout your posts having a zero-tolerance on quitting matches. While I will agree that sometimes giving a 15 minute ban or something makes sense for repeat offenders, that just isnāt the case most the time. Just look at my recent game history, I was struck with the ban hammer today because of one DNF. You can check it yourself.
I donāt care who you are, there is absolutely no excuse to ban people like that for quitting one match (or even two for that matter). This system is seriously flawed because 343 took an easy route on this just to ban some people for no reason other than lack of intelligence. One day? Seriously. Pfft, itās hard to defend Halo multiplayer with logic like this.

No, I have a zero tolerance on quitting excessive matches. Even I quit a match once every week or two, but I have never once been banned. There are some people here that are banned for excessive disconnections. I have sympathy for them, but on the grand scale a disconnect affects the game as bad as quitting does.
Before this thread was created, people would flood the forums saying they were wrongfully banned, until they realized their game history was public.
And there are plenty of 10-30 minute bans that were given. You donāt jump straight to a 6 hour ban on your first try, unless that banhammer is seriously broken and should be fixed.
As for your situation, was that your first ban? Because back in June you had 3 bans in one day, and again in May. I donāt know exactly how the banhammer works, but it doesnāt just reset after a period of time.

Again, I can understand people who quit 5, 10, 15+ games daily. But I only had one DNF. What Iām saying is that their logic on the banhammer needs to be reformed, why would they hold something that happened months ago against them?
And yes, I believe I did have a day or two where my WiFi was iffy and I had around 3-4 DNFs, but weāre talking about two months ago. Iāve had one DNF in the last week-- itās time for 343 to be accountable when it comes to things like this.

The banhammer isnāt perfect, and I never tried to show that, but itās certainly doing itās job on the people it needs to strike down the most.
But like I said, the banhammer is mostly based on patterns or something. Itās not like dropping the game for a week or two will reset it completely. Iām assuming itās also partly tied to the number of matches played as well.

While I will agree that sometimes giving a 15 minute ban or something makes sense for repeat offenders, that just isnāt the case most the time. Just look at my recent game history, I was struck with the ban hammer today because of one DNF. You can check it yourself.

This system is seriously flawed because 343 took an easy route on this just to ban some people for no reason other than lack of intelligence. One day? Seriously. Pfft, itās hard to defend Halo multiplayer with logic like this.

There are some people here that are banned for excessive disconnections. I have sympathy for them, but on the grand scale a disconnect affects the game as bad as quitting does.

It happens to get the job done with those who excessively quit, but you canāt just ignore the select situations like mine where Iāve quit once in my previous 10+ matches. And I havenāt had more than one DNF in over a month. I agree, people who excessively quit should be held accountableābut so should 343. And Iām not just not hearing anything from them. They donāt even respond to things like this, I could have been permanently banned from Halo 5 multiplayer for one DNF and all I could do is blow hot air in a forumā¦ absolutely pathetic, regardless of your views on the banhammer.

So what if someone quits the match, in past Halo games the system would throw in a new player; it was a pretty good system to keep the games even. But now we quit a few matches and its like weāre getting thrown in jail.

Iām not ignoring them, at the end of the day I canāt do anything about anyoneās bans.
Like I said before, itās not based on time, and it doesnāt reset. On two different occasions youāve had 3 DNFs in one day. Chances are it sees that as a pattern. If there was a way to take it up to 343i, Iād be all for it. At the same time, itād probably be full of people tried to get out of being rightfully banned. If we had a concrete way to see how the banhammer worked, this thread would be much smoother.
Essentially, the banhammer is swinging so hard that thereās collateral damage, but my zero-tolerance thing is aimed at the actual target.
Just like how Blackjack is implying that quitting is okay because JiP will take over (where that didnāt happen for most of the series.)
