Banned for “1:32” for quitting too many matches. I haven’t quit a single match today and haven’t played in a couple weeks before today. I’m never buying another Halo product as long as 343 is at the reigns.

And as I was typing up that message I got another ban message for 4:58 for “griefing your teammates” wtf is that?
Edit:
And I just joined a game fine. What’s up with this game?

It tells you on the red ban screen as soon as you are banned how long it’s for, the format of the timer is noted in the first post of this topic. I believe the playlist screen also shows your cooldown?

You have 3 DNF matches showing up for today and I counted around 12 or 13 from the start of February
I have been getting banned just after completing a match. The match ends, then as its going to load the results, it goes back to the arena menus and says I’ve been banned. The first few times this wasn’t really bothersome, but now its happened s much my ban time is up to 8 hours!? So what can be done? This is ridiculous

I haven’t quit a single game or been kicked today. All those other DNF’s are times I was booted and banned for “poor connection to the dedicated servers”. I don’t quit games and I don’t give a -Yoink- that people like you assume DNF means everybody quits everything.

Still ignored my long post… Lol or perhaps more likely, didn’t want to acknowledge it. I got banned for DCing 2 games, not leaving. “I have yet to come across 1 legitimate case where a user has been banned because of leaving a single match.” This doesn’t mean I never leave, it simply means I rarely leave out of my own choice.
Many people don’t leave games intentionally, that’s a big thing you don’t seem to get. And before you come up with a snarky remark, you should also note that servers can and do disconnect single players sometimes, and not just the entire lobby itself. Of course, this doesn’t mean this is the only reason why people leave, it just means it’s a point to take into consideration.
Again, making assumptions. Just because you can view service records doesn’t mean you can be high and mighty and assume that it isn’t internet or server issues. Do everyone a favor and read my post on page 22, my long one.

I note that while there are people that certainly do get banned for legitimate reasons, there are others who get banned for poor reasons or misclassified reasons. Get off the throne, and open your mind to other options please.
But, I guess since we’re making assumptions, someone could argue that it’s wrong that you’re a forum moderator for a game that you’ve barely played - you haven’t even reached 100 matches yet - but does that mean you lack knowledge in Halo 5, or is that an assumption?
Lastly, keep in mind that many of my DNFs are from Warzone, and I got banned from Arena - where’s the logic in that? This doesn’t mean I have 0 DNFs in Arena, it just means one of the many problems with the banning system is the inconsistency. Bear in mind, none of my posts are to antagonize or start any quarrels, but it is a bit disrespectful to the community itself if you aren’t going to acknowledge everyone that puts forth ideas/points and assume that “no one that posts in this forum is legitimate!!!” - which is exactly what you are doing by continually saying “never seen a case, never seen a case, it simply can’t be true, because I look at service records and see DNF DNF DNF DNF DNF,” without even truly understanding what DNF really means.
If anything, I think some of the posts that you have are not constructive, which in itself is a violation of the forum rules, as you know. Stomping out everyone’s claims is nonconstructive, especially if we assume that they’re wrong just by looking at a service record. The service record is meant to help assist people in keeping others honest, but it also lacks the ability to provide full information on a person’s circumstances.
I think that’s my last post for this thread…
DNF is a grouped category, to keep it short - and that’s a fact. And the system that is currently in use is not at its best, and flat out isn’t effective nor just in some cases.

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks”
Lagged out of fiesta got back on and finished a Warzone got back to menu then was banned from Arena… wtf 343?.. explain plz!
I quit one game and was banned. Seriously? I love Halo, but there have been so many problems with this game and the Xbox One, in general, that I’m just ready to give-up. Really? Banned? Please feel free to check whatever record you’d like. I’m not a quitter.
CraZHoneyBadger pretty much summed up perfectly your flawed logic and ignorance, so I’m just going to comment on this

Then I don’t known why other threads are being locked, and everyone who dares make a post about the issue is being redirected to this one. Or why you are even here?
Nobody asked you, specifically, for anything. Much less to be told “-Yoink- sucks, and it’s your own damn fault”. If I need the help of a forum meter maid, I’ll be sure and hit you up 
Good day, sir.

Don’t always have time to sit and draft a reply out to everything sorry, it was on my list to respond. I’m going to skip over most of your last post and reply everything as a whole. I may miss some things though as I’m drafting this at work right now.

I understand what DNF means and that it’s not always a quit, that’s why I only ever mention the word quit if that poster does. When I quote that someone has a large amount of DNF’s, I’m simply stating that that will be, in part, responsible for the ban placed on them. If you have a poor enough connection that you are being consistently dropped from matches then that is something that should be looked at. I’ve never said the servers are perfect, but they’re not always 100% at fault. Blaming the servers is an easy out for a lot of people when they could take a quick 10 minutes to troubleshoot their connection in case it is their modem / router / wifi / ISP that is causing issues.
I probably should have added a line to my last post regarding playing being banned for 1 match, of course it’s always possible for this to happen or have happened, but for the hundreds of posts I have read, investigated and either responded to or watched others respond to, not one has ever turned out to be a legitimate case. If you find this by all means point it out and we can report it to 343 to be looked into.
My “most folk having issues are habitual quitters” comment was aimed at Waypoint and Waypoint alone, not the wider community. I agree than being banned from Warzone is pretty stupid. If JIP wasn’t enabled I could understand, but it doesn’t seem sensible to ban those from leaving a mode that promotes drop in / drop out play.

As with any post on the forums, no matter who it’s from, please use report feature and flag it. One of the other monitors will take a look into it or pass it on to be looked at.

It was decided that instead of having single ban threads scattered across the forums that a central thread that others could be pointed to would be more beneficial in the long run - the same was done for the Halo Reach forums. If there is anything missing from the first post or you think should be added, please feel free to request it here or send me a message and we’ll look into sorting that out.

Why I am here? Why are any of us here? What does all it all mean man!?!?
It’s a community forum where anyone in the community may respond. I am here because I want to be here
This banning system is absolute -Yoink-. You’re taking the fun out of a video game. If you’re gonna have a ridiculous system that bans me for 8 hours over 4 quits to get out of being spawn camped, then you could at least incorporate a social playlist where the rules are a little less tight. I’ve played through multiple games of half my team quitting out, whether it be SWAT or Slayer , yet that’ll never show up on my record. This is utter -Yoink-, I’m not here to get my -Yoink- hard to halo and prove how “mlg” I am, I just want to play the damn game with some friends and have fun. My actual account is LeCharlieHarden is you want to flex your investigative muscles.

Got back on today, first game back a guy quits and another guy on our team goes 6-15. Next game teammate goes 6-16. What the hell!?
I got banned twice in a day due to poor quality of your servers. I got kicked out of the match after it ended and the system took me for a quitter. It has happened several times since the release of the game and I’m actually tired of this (and so many other problems).
I’ve just been banned for almost 9 hours. I don’t swear, disrespect, cheat or act like an idiot. I’ve intentionally backed out of maybe 4 matches out of 500 some. Most of the time I get banned AFTER I finish a match but before the stats come up the red/black screen saying saying there was a problem keeping connection with the server. How is that my fault? Life happens. People need to answer a phone, a yelling wife, a dog pooping on your floor. I’ll quit any video game to tend to my family or something happens that needs my attention. When I come back to play, I shouldn’t see a ban for multiple hours because I quit a match. Not to mention most of the so called dnf’s have come in the form of server connection. The only time I’ve quit any matches purposely without having to tend to something, it’s due to little bucketheads making the gameplay obnoxious with ridiculous behaviors. I, like every other person have spent a ton of money on the console, game, headset, live membership just to be told I can’t play because of leaving matches or server problems? 9 hours…really?
Dubious0Scruple
So if I quit one arena game, would I be banned the next match that I complete?
I just got banned for 36 hours for leaving 1 match and I haven’t left a Match for 2 weeks
I got banned for finishing a game. No betrayals, or suicides, and i didn’t quit any of my previous 8 games. WTH? As soon as my game finished, it disconnected me from the servers and banned me.
