If you accidentally disconnect a time or two, you won’t get banned. Instead the system looks for patterns that can’t happen accidentally. If the banhammer detects enough wrongdoing, you were doing wrong.

The banned should be fix like halo reach and mistakes won’t be taken out a first quick banned while the other gives you another chance.
Your servers crash, kicking me from a game winning or losing and the one time I do leave a match… yeah ONE time I get banned and no there is no timer on the screen… this is the 2nd or 3rd time total for a ban since the game released… do I need to screen capture every time your servers crash??? There should be a way for people to validate themselves. If your system can shoot me a message that a connection was lost or the connection was failed by something or there was a crash or any number of error screens then they should be logged. Considering it happened 3-4 times tonight and I left one game because it was 47 - 17 with only 3 on my team… I hardly think it constitutes a ban… You spout all this about the sophistication but it’s pretty clear there’s easy ways to improve it and you guys just aren’t performing due diligence…

All of these recent posts just further prove MRichardson and my point. Vegeto30294 keeps trying to argue that the banhammer is doing it’s job. What its doing is keeping people from playing the game and that sucks; that is not the banhammer’s job. To be fair, I never said quitting is ok, I said they should lessen the punishment or change it. Reread my first post; I call for banhammer change not removal.
So keep talking out your a** Vegeto30294. Everyone here knows you’re wrong.
I definitely feel like if someone messages you trash talking , I shouldn’t get banned just because what I say is worse .It wouldn’t have been said if he/she didn’t instigate or at the least ban both

Communication bans are handled through Xbox, not 343i. Also, in cases like these the phrase “2 wrongs don’t make a right” applies. The moment you send an offending message to a player, not matter the reason, you are at fault. The best thing to do when you receive an offending message is to report it and move on. Responding in kind puts you on the same level as the original sender.

You were not banned for the game you described (this one). You were banned for the game before that, which was a DNF. The banhammer was just running late and did not immediately kick in after your DNF. Instead it took an extra game to catch you. Rest assured, you didn’t lose connection from your 49 to 50 loss; that game is registered as complete. What happened was the banhammer caught you for your previous DNF and kicked in immediately upon completion of your 49 to 50 loss.
I’ve sadly suffered from what I believe to be a connection issue somewhere, it might be that something is taxing on my router but here’s my issue.
I’ve recently started playing on Xbox again but have noticed that my connection has been quite poor compared to how it used to be; on Halo 5 anyway. What really made this prevalent was my experience in the ‘Doubles’ game-type. I was playing my first game, I managed to pickup a win, it went to the animation for the winners, and then it was about to go to the results. Boom. ‘Connection Lost’ screen; and a short few seconds ban. But it only got worse from here. This trend of being disconnected after the game had finished continued, and the bans stacked up. I eventually recieved a whopping two hour ban, and this really frustrated me as all the games I had won now counted as loses, let alone I COMPLETED those games; all of them. Today it was going okay, as I usually also play Breakout and I was doing well; no disconnects with this gametype. Until, I got one. Which I believe put me under the radar again. I was then playing one more game of Breakout, but had to go midway through for my Lunch, so I had to quit. My FIRST intentional quit. I forgot in that split second the mighty banhammer, and that i’d disconnected earlier. This lead to where I am now, waiting for an 8 hour ban to run out; with multiple loses where i’d won and completed games. It’s been really frustrating (I think anyone would be when they’ve practically had wins and time taken away from them without reason), and I hope someone can resolve this for me; or, at the very least, has had a similar experience with one main faulty gametype(s).
NOTE: This doesn’t happen in Warzone oddly.

It sounds like what you are experiencing is the “late banhammer” thing that is common with bans. The games you finish but see “connection lost” as the PGCR pops up is the banhammer kicking in for previous DNFs; it’s not kicking in for the game you just finished. The banhammer usually runs 1-2 games behind, so it can seem like when you DNF and the banhammer doesn’t immediately kick in that you got off scott free.
You do have DNFs on your record, and your most recent 2 Arena games show a DNF followed by a completed game, after which you posted here about a ban, which is indicative of the late banhammer. All I can say is that to avoid bans you should 1) stop quitting, if that’s what you’re doing, or 2) troubleshoot your connection if you are having consistent internet trouble. If you also think that your bans are somehow unique or flawed, it may be worth capturing footage using the DVR of when bans kick in, so that we can cross reference when the bans kick in with your game history to see if there truly appears to be no cause (based on your history alone and your amount of DNFs, it seems that the banhammer correctly hit you).

Exactly what am I wrong on? The game says the banhammer punishes you for excessive quitting. Therefore excessive quitting results in a ban.
You you keep quitting, and you end up with a ban, then the banhammer is doing the job it’s designed to do. Even MRichardson agrees with that. Or should I not point out your 4 DNFs since the beginning of the week?
The problem is that the banhammer swings too hard and catches more innocent players who didn’t deserve a ban in most eyes.

I did record a DVR of when it gave me a 2 hour ban if I remember correctly, well, it was one of those.

You can understand if I don’t take you at your word. Many people post here with the same song and dance (I was banned and it wasn’t my fault), and in most cases a look at their history shows otherwise. I’m not saying that every DNF is a quit; I’m sure there are cases where people DNF due to forces beyond their control. But I need to see hard evidence before believing it.

Yeah I know , I just feel the need to vent here , because Xbox won’t listen to reason. And I think we are too soft as a society

Exactly, the banhammer needs to be changed. Thank you for further solidifying my argument.
And for that last part, I never said it’s ok to quit, I said “so what if someone does”. Sounds like you need a lesson in semantics.

I never said the banhammer didn’t need to be changed.
No matter how much we change it, the golden rule still applies. Excessive quitting = bans.

It’s fine, apologies for the wait, i’m just uploading the clips to youtube. One showing it happen, and another just showing my connection within doubles, showing that I don’t lag while playing (the games were both played on the same day). And what makes it more odd, is I also play MCC often, and I don’t disconnect from that.

What really made this prevalent was my experience in the ‘Doubles’ game-type. I was playing my first game, I managed to pickup a win, it went to the animation for the winners, and then it was about to go to the results.

I was then playing one more game of Breakout, but had to go midway through for my Lunch, so I had to quit. My FIRST intentional quit. I forgot in that split second the mighty banhammer, and that i’d disconnected earlier. This lead to where I am now, waiting for an 8 hour ban to run out; with multiple loses where i’d won and completed games. It’s been really frustrating (I think anyone would be when they’ve practically had wins and time taken away from them without reason), and I hope someone can resolve this for me; or, at the very least, has had a similar experience with one main faulty gametype(s).

The games you finish but see “connection lost” as the PGCR pops up is the banhammer kicking in for previous DNFs; it’s not kicking in for the game you just finished. The banhammer usually runs 1-2 games behind, so it can seem like when you DNF and the banhammer doesn’t immediately kick in that you got off scott free.

All I can say is that to avoid bans you should 1) stop quitting, if that’s what you’re doing, or 2) troubleshoot your connection if you are having consistent internet trouble. If you also think that your bans are somehow unique or flawed, it may be worth capturing footage using the DVR of when bans kick in, so that we can cross reference when the bans kick in with your game history to see if there truly appears to be no cause (based on your history alone and your amount of DNFs, it seems that the banhammer correctly hit you).

Many people post here with the same song and dance (I was banned and it wasn’t my fault), and in most cases a look at their history shows otherwise. I’m not saying that every DNF is a quit; I’m sure there are cases where people DNF due to forces beyond their control. But I need to see hard evidence before believing it.

Ok so:
1st clip was cross referenced to this game, which followed a DNF. So the “connection lost” you see is the banhammer kicking in for the DNF that came before.
2nd clip indeed shows nothing wrong in terms of lag.
Based on this evidence, it seems the banhammer hit correctly.
