These bans are ridiculous. The server are not even great to begin with. Tried playing WZT yesterday and during the game I just get sent back to the lobby out of no where. Then I went to arena, the same thing happened. Today tried to pay arena again, got to halfway through the match then again got sent back to the lobby screen with a notification of being banned. the funny things is while I was in those games, it played perfectly fine. I wasn’t lagging or teleporting, but yet I get disconnected from the match. I’ve been playing halo since 2009 and I’ve never been banned until I started playing Halo 5. The servers need to be fixed.

There’s 3 in the past 12 or so pages. About 2% quit rate for the past 2 weeks? Two of them were from server disconnects, and one of them was an idle kick because of a family member tripping down the stairs and needed immediate attention. I remember them quite specifically, as it’s not often that I don’t finish games. I have some 600+ games. I’ve quit 4 times, and disconnected some way or another about 5-6 times. So that’s probably about 1% DNF rate. Really low, actually. I consider myself ban free, because I don’t consider my first ban to be a legitimate and valid ban.
But yeah, your points are still valid.

I’ve been banned 2x, one perhaps legitimate (don’t know to be honest anymore), the other definitely not. It’s really frustrating that I can’t even make my own thread on this topic - haven’t been told why yet - just “there’s this thread,” even though it’s different…
This thread is too dense to make a difference in my opinion; no one wants to read the same thing over and over, with some being real and some being fake. That’s why I wanted a new thread… to discuss the concept of the banning system, not be a thread full of clearly ignored posts… If it wasn’t ignored, it would have changed by now I think.

It seems like there are a lot of other topics that deserve a sticky thread, but don’t receive it. Such as the Sprint thread, or elite thread. Why is this the only one? The system really is just so broken that they need a dedicated thread so they don’t fill up the website with people saying they were banned for an illegitimate reason. And yeah, I looked at about 30+ pages of my game history and I have about 8 DNFs. About 3 of which were me actually quitting because of terrible teammates that couldn’t be carried to victory, and a join in progress farming session that I actually joined twice so that was two quits on the same match. It was terrible. Most of my team had left and they still weren’t destroying the core. I sat for a while in the back, but they had team mates paired up in the back to take out people trying to hide. So I couldn’t just wait it out or else I’d be kicked for idling too long.
Which is why I made my post at the top of page 56; flat out, there are so many reasons why this system is flawed - the problem is, no one that has any authority in the matter wants to hear it, and those that have heard it, don’t want others to hear it - which is why every single person is forced to post in one condensed thread … it’s not “to keep things organized,” it’s to lock everything away honestly…
I’d love to see someone prove me wrong on that.
Perhaps the most disturbing part of all of this is that most people don’t even post on forums at all, so there are far more people having issues than this forum shows.
EDIT:
True - I cannot deny that; what I have said is speculation.
But the other options for them not responding is that they 1) don’t care, or 2) don’t have enough people to actually look at forums. They have enough people to lock threads apparently, but not enough people to relay information that has been posted countless times to those who actually can and should do something. Of course, some monitors on here are only forum moderators, and have absolutely no connection to 343, but it’s a bit harsh the way I see it to lock people’s threads for pointing out legitimate errors in the game, since, the forum is there to discuss errors, pros, and cons to the game - that way, the game developers can improve the game. That’s what a community is for, right?
Sadly, much of the Halo community is already aware of this issue, and has stopped playing Halo entirely. As far as I know, most people still hold Halo 3 to be the highest in performance, community, and gameplay during its time period. - But don’t get wrapped up in that last statement, because that isn’t nearly as important as the fact that much of what everyone is talking about is being ignored.
I cannot post anymore threads, because apparently there is a limit on how many posts I can do per day - awesome, not only can I not discuss my idea, but I cannot use the forums as much as I please. - This day just gets better and better lol
Well, that is more or less something that can’t be proven because it’s the intentions of the monitors. So unless they say something about it, it’s merely speculation. I don’t see many posts resolved in this thread. I made a thread about my issue that I thought was entirely different from the ban “mega” thread. It was labeled something like “server error issuing ban” or something like that, in which I asked if it was possible for the server to have a hiccup and issue false bans. I wanted to know if it happened to anyone else. I wasn’t going to vent or anything like that, simply seeking clarity about a subject unrelated to what is on this ban thread. I came here and posted my thread after it was locked, and still have yet to get a response. Very frustrating because my perfect record has been tarnished from a faulty banhammer error. I know it was an error because it did not issue a reason or duration for my ban. Simply "banned for: reason: "

I too have never been banned in any other Halo game. Halo 5 is the first, and I play with the same consistency as I did in say Reach or Halo 3. It’s absurd.
Why was I banned for 1 day 11 hours and 37 mins for first offense…
This crap keeps happening to me. The other day i got banned for 4 hours for “habitual quitting” when i hadn’t even quit a single game. the game ended after we won, i came to the main lobby where it told me that “the ban hammer strikes” and it happens to me all the time. i have a life and i’m scared to quit even one game because i’d like to be able to come back and play on the same damn day… furthermore i get banned a lot and it’s always for quitting… i’ve been banned from arena for hours now and i can’t play my favorite game because they are having issues. i’m sick of this, before the last update everything was grand and now they’ve gone and fluffed it… i’m so pissed off… this is not why i pay for xbox live.
I’ve just checked my ban. I’ve already been banned for 8 hours and my ban is still 12:01:59… I’m actually furious. this is absolutely ludicrous and to think I’ve spent so much money building master chief costumes for conventions… absolutely fuming
Same thing happens here. 3 or 4 nights in a row. Halfway through a game where i’m 11-4 i just get kicked out and it says “YOUR FIRE TEAM HAS CHANGED” and bumps us to the lobby. Go back into arena and get the banhammer screen for habitual quitting. I’m playing NHL just fine so I know it’s not my network connection, it’s the Halo servers. Now we get an hour ban for getting kicked out.

To get you to stop complaining about why your thread was moved here. Seeing you are new to waypoint based off your actions and rank. The mods made one mega thread because the forums were being flocked with a new ban thread like every five mins. It clogged up the forums for more important issues. Because quite frankly about 99% of the bans I’ve seen are legit and were well deserved. He’s there is the occasional head scratcher but no one wanted to keep reading threads about ppl being banned for “no” reason just to pull their record and see 10 DNFs in 30 games
also pay attention with your hammer. I don’t know anyone that gets banned in grif. The only ones conplaingjng are the entitled ones who think they should be allowed to freely just swing their shy around. That takes no skill. Which seems like a lot of ppl want to de skill grif by allowing you to literally just hammer spam everywhere.

Also yall
must not realize warzone counts for bans also. I counter 9 DNFs since second week of March ish. Has a 10% dnf in warzone alone. Didn’t bother with arena. Yet again like I just said. 99% of bans are wel earned an looks like your was as well.
Mufti from doing this over and over again to y’all I have found a pattern that once around 10% dnf within a certain time frame you get the ban.
Don’t know if this has been posted in this thread yet.
I am getting sick and tired of being banned due to “griefing” my teammates in Grifball. (for those of you who do not know what that means, it means killing your teammates).
I mean, come on! It’s an arena filled with players who all have gravity hammers and swords; it’s bound to happen every game.
Now I do my best to not swing my hammer when a teammate is near by, and thus avoid killing them. But I can’t help it if my teammates cluster around me to steal my kill, and they get taken out by the splash damage of my hammer. I mean, I am clearly attacking that enemy with my gravity hammer; why are you trying to cut me off when I am clearly pounding the ground?
These are the team-kills I accidentally serve; doofenschmirtzes cutting me off or running up right beside me while I am attacking a foe. Some get all bent out of shape about it and kick me when the chance comes.
And then I get banned.
I did nothing wrong, I get kicked and then banned.
In my opinion, banning as a result of griefing teammates in Grifball should be severely strict and limited to only those who have repeatedly been kicked for griefing THAT DAY. Those players deserve their ban.
[EDIT: Just saw the last two entries before mine. /lefacepalm. Guess it HAS been mentioned, at least in part.]

Seriously…? Do my eyes deceive what I am reading? The forum rules specifically state that as long as flaming, spamming, etc. are not engaged, one may post something as long as it is constructive and pertaining to the game - which, in fact, a part of the game that I was discussing (the concept of the ban system, NOT the fact that I was banned) is very legitimate. Since that is the focus of the thread and does not focus on trying to justify myself for being banned, it is a completely different topic.
Anyway, to go back to your post… Feel free to download the film in which I DID get banned for grifball. My teammates freewillingly hit me MANY times, and I didn’t boot them. Secondly, teamkilling happens in Grifball, no matter how good you are - you also ignored my comment about us JUST spawning in which the game forces you to have hammers out.
Get shut down xD Thirdly, you don’t seem to recognize the gentleman who has barely quit any games, and got banned himself - the proof is in his service record, champ.
“Oh well he’s the 1%” - yeah okay, keep telling yourself that. - This is why the forum is such a joke, because people criticize other players without even considering anything that they say. - Here’s my 2 cents for ya, this isn’t my first account on XBOX, let alone Halo Waypoint - but that’s okay, you can jump to assumptions to make yourself feel better about your post, and continue to ignore what others say and instead say “naw man people just dumb that post here.” Plus, since when does the amount of posts on a website have to do with someone’s knowledge of a game? You’ll be surprised to see that this isn’t a good way to measure someone’s knowledge on the game, as you’ll see at the bottom of this post 
But I guess since we’re using false measurements, I might as well say you have less than 500 Halo gamerscore 
Please refer to my list of reasons why I would like to improve the system, since that was the intention of my post, rather than to “complain” - complaining has no objective to it, but a list of flaws in the system does have an objective to it, to make improvements. On the other hand, criticizing other players and telling them “yall are dead wrong” is not constructive at all when you ignore what others say, and put yourself on a high horse.
Lastly, to burst a hole in your bubble - “yall must not realize warzone counts for bans too” - well, let me tell you that you must not realize that warzone bans and arena bans are separate. BAZINGA!!!
This player, Solarnotzmbie17, NEVER quits. She lagged out of 1 match and was then banned. She tried to play again, and lagged out. I went back 98 games and did not find a DNF in any of them. Why was she banned after 1 disconnect? She does not idle or betray.

I’m beginning to think CrazyHoneyBadger is just that. A Crazy Honey Badger furiously typing away on his keyboard. He makes no sense at all. You can’t help but kill some teamates when youre in the middle of a swing and your buddy thinks its a great idea o spartan charge in front of you with zero shields. Sorry, that’s on you. And CrazyHoneyBadger if that’s seriously what you think, you can’t have played enough Grif to know what it’s like.

You can’t help but kill some teamates when youre in the middle of a swing and your buddy thinks its a great idea o spartan charge in front of you with zero shields. Sorry, that’s on you. And CrazyHoneyBadger if that’s seriously what you think, you can’t have played enough Grif to know what it’s like.
All I ask is that you watch the film, or at the very least take into consideration the fact about spawning with hammers out and the scorer being literally 2 feet away from scoring. In addition, I never mentioned a single thing about spartan charging or being mid swing - my key focus was spawning with a hammer out. When someone is about to score, and you want to stop the scoring, you go after the ball carrier and swing your hammer (sword IF you have time to switch, which in this case, I did not), correct? Everyone did the same exact thing, so I assume that’s what I’m supposed to do. But wait, this is the part where you tell me everyone in my lobby is stupid just like me, right? If you’re referring to another player, that’s also incorrect, since I was playing solo. Please read all of the post before replying.
If you continue to ignore what everyone says then the only angry one is you. All of my points are valid because they’re facts of the game and not just my opinion shoved in with false knowledge which was countered in the previous post (unless of course you want to jump on the bandwagon that claims warzone bans are the same as arena bans, which, they’re not - don’t believe me? Get banned in one of them, and tell me if you are banned in the other.)
If anything, you’re just looking for an argument (which I will not participate in), since you ignored everything that I said, including the fact that one person came forth saying that he was banned with very few DNFs spread over a period of time (view his service record for proof). I don’t need to sit here and type angrily, because the facts are right there - people can choose to accept them or not.
The point of all of what I am posting is to show that the banning system in general is not efficient, not just in grifball - so don’t try to turn this into a flaming post about how “Crazhoneybadger is just dumb and don’t understand nuffin” - instead, take what I have said, and tell me what is wrong with my bullet point list, rather than attacking a single player on the forums. Simply stating “nuffin he says makes sense” is invalid, unless you can at least justify why what I said makes no sense. Everything that I have written so far is very clear - feel free to inform me as to why you are confused, and I will gladly clear it up for you like a community member should.
Thank you for your time.

> > > > > There’s 3 in the past 12 or so pages. About 2% quit rate for the past 2 weeks? Two of them were from server disconnects, and one of them was an idle kick because of a family member tripping down the stairs and needed immediate attention. I remember them quite specifically, as it’s not often that I don’t finish games. I have some 600+ games. I’ve quit 4 times, and disconnected some way or another about 5-6 times. So that’s probably about 1% DNF rate. Really low, actually. I consider myself ban free, because I don’t consider my first ban to be a legitimate and valid ban.

> > > > This thread is too dense to make a difference in my opinion; no one wants to read the same thing over and over, with some being real and some being fake. That’s why I wanted a new thread… to discuss the concept of the banning system, not be a thread full of clearly ignored posts… If it wasn’t ignored, it would have changed by now I think.
> > >
> > >
> > > To get you to stop complaining about why your thread was moved here. Seeing you are new to waypoint based off your actions and rank. The mods made one mega thread because the forums were being flocked with a new ban thread like every five mins. It clogged up the forums for more important issues. Because quite frankly about 99% of the bans I’ve seen are legit and were well deserved. He’s there is the occasional head scratcher but no one wanted to keep reading threads about ppl being banned for “no” reason just to pull their record and see 10 DNFs in 30 games
> > >
> > > also pay attention with your hammer. I don’t know anyone that gets banned in grif. The only ones conplaingjng are the entitled ones who think they should be allowed to freely just swing their shy around. That takes no skill. Which seems like a lot of ppl want to de skill grif by allowing you to literally just hammer spam everywhere.
> >
> >
> > Seriously…? Do my eyes deceive what I am reading? The forum rules specifically state that as long as flaming, spamming, etc. are not engaged, one may post something as long as it is constructive and pertaining to the game - which, in fact, a part of the game that I was discussing (the concept of the ban system, NOT the fact that I was banned) is very legitimate. Since that is the focus of the thread and does not focus on trying to justify myself for being banned, it is a completely different topic.

- i have seen ppl numerous times be banned in arena for warzone DNFs. and numerous ppl have even been like oh i didnt know warzone can get me banned in arena.
- i checked the guys service record you were talking about…he had 10% dnf. which from what i have noticed gets you a ban
- you do not need to be reckless when swinging your hammer. its really not that hard…
- your thread was still moved because anything and everything related to bans goes to this thread, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. it is considered spam to post ban related topics else where. if you need the mods to change the title of the thread to make you understand that im sure a simple request will help out with that.
- i play grif and have friends that play grif. i have been booted one time from a game, but i didnt get banned. if you are getting banned for getting kicked out of grif games for betrayals two words
pay attention, i bet you thought i was going to say get good but nope
