You’ve had multiple responses. You’ll have to wait out your ban like everyone else.

People have been unbanned before. It’s ridiculous, you have no idea what this is doing to me.

Need to know why I was banned

> Need to know why I was banned

You don’t appear to be banned.

> 2535414479094717;5751:
> Need to know why I was banned

You’ll need to post back on your actual Halo 5 account for anyone to look into your ban issue

Hello, following a guy on twitch, I notice a concern with the banishing system.
The player in question 3 times in the evening he starts a match in 3 vs 4. Whenever he is found to start a match in 3 vs 4 he has left. Which seems to me to be legitimate.
The third time he left he found himself banished for about ten minutes. I do not think it’s normal.
I have not been confronted with this problem directly, but I would not appreciate it happening to me.
I share the link of the match where it is banished below.https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/mode/arena/matches/693c6ec4-c7a8-44b2-bd6f-ca24ec1275fa/players/annferknee?gameHistoryMatchIndex=0&gameHistoryGameModeFilter=AllCordially.

It isn’t necessary to post on someone else’s behalf. If they want to come here and post they may. That being said quitting 3 out of 4 matches in a row would seem appropriate to trigger the system and if their ban was for 10 minutes it most likely wasn’t their first.

If you are the first player to leave a match, you can get banned, regardless of whether the match starts 3v4. The ban processor doesn’t know that a player dodged currently, so it sees you as a leaver will ban you (and deduct 30 CSR in ranked).

None of these answers address the obvious problem with “Truth” and how this map offers an unfair advantage to players on Blue Team

You have 14 DNF’s in your last 60 games (only one of said dnf’s which was on truth). That is why you were banned. Even if your claims of bias had merit (they don’t), that wouldn’t excuse you from the rules of matchmaking.

Just got back on halo after a week and I’m banned for 4 days. Is there a way to get unbanned or am I just going to have to wait it out. What did I do to get banned

It is better wait until the end. I m waiting by 62/65 days ,I wanted to play today but I have to wait other 3 days. I can’t wait to open my 50 (some already opened) daily rewards pack that i have accumulated log in every day. I will try a different way for grind xp without idling in warzone.

Can you tell me why I was banned?

Can any mods tell me why I was banned? I haven’t played in a week and just got back to see I’m banned for the next 4 days.

> The following FAQ should answer some of your questions about Halo 5 bans. We will update this FAQ as necessary.
>
> **I received an in-game message saying I have been banned. Why?**If you are checking this page because of an in-game message, it is likely that you have been banned for violating the terms of use and/or committing a code of conduct violation. It is also possible, in the case of an especially egregious violation, that your Xbox One system itself is now banned from Matchmaking. The duration of this ban is based on the type, frequency or nature of the committed violation. In most cases, Custom Games will still be available. In extreme cases, they will not.
>
> **How can I tell how long I was banned for?**Ban duration will be shown on the red ban screen as the ban hammer strikes. First offences are generally low and last only a few minutes, but will increase in duration incrementally with each subsequent ban. The ban timer itself displays times as follows -
> **Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds****What types of actions can result in a ban?**Types of violation include, but are not limited to, the following example actions:
> - Modifying your Xbox One hardware or game software and services in any way. - Idling through games, habitual quitting/suiciding/betraying, or any other type of unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior. - Impersonating a 343 Industries or Microsoft employee on Xbox LIVE with intent to defraud or cause harm to other players.Why was I banned for winning a match / quitting one match / quitting a custom game? __You weren’t. The ban system runs at least 1 game behind so your ban will have been placed for a previous offence. After completing your next event, whether it is a matchmaking game, custom game, forge session, spectating a friend or viewing theatre, the system will then show you a message telling you that you have been banned. As it takes more than a single offence to earn a ban you will never be banned for leaving one match, it will be multiple offences that have led to a ban being placed on your account.
>
> **I shouldn’t be banned. My brother/sister/cousin/dad/mom/friend must’ve logged on with my account and done bad things. Will you please reverse my ban?**If this is indeed the case, we do understand your frustration. However, it is your sole responsibility to keep your account information secure and not share it with others who would abuse it. We have no way of detecting who is playing with your account, and if your gamertag is caught making naughty, you will be banned. Those are the rules.
>
> **I didn’t do anything wrong, and you can’t prove it. Will you please reverse my ban?**Our automated system builds up a digital case of wrongdoing before any ban is enacted. 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.
>
> **Will posting in this thread guarantee my ban will be lifted and that someone will respond personally to every post?**Unfortunately, no. We simply don’t have enough eyes, ears and typing hands to respond to every single post. However, the community will help keep you honest. You have a public game history for everyone to see. If you post you were banned unjustly, the community is in their rights to check out your history to confirm or deny your claims.Please, just keep it clean.
>
> The purpose of this thread is to keep all questions pertaining to bans in one place. Without a megathread for such questions, the rest of the forum will almost certainly turn into a cavalcade of ban questions.
>
> If you were banned and think you have a case, this is the ONLY thread you should post in. If other moderators see posts pertaining to bans in other threads, they will either be deleted outright or a kind-hearted mod might just move the posts to this thread.
>
> If any users are caught habitually spamming ban threads in other threads, we will consider that a violation of the forum Terms of Use. You will risk being banned here as well. We don’t want to have to ban anyone, but we do want an open, honest and positive place to post about all things Halo, so a thread like this is necessary.

What is the nature of my ban? I’m banned on both arena and warzone. I don’t quit matches ever. Why am I banned

<mark>This post has been edited by a moderator. Please do not post inappropriate content.</mark>
*Original post. Click at your own discretion.

Any chance I can be unbanned if I offer up the new GT’s of the people that got me purposely banned? Or am I just going to have to go find a bridge to jump off?

well after 65 of ban,playing the first match this is happened link
