> i was banned for UNUSUAL selection followed by wierd language

its unnatural selection…means you suicided to many times. which you were probably kicked fomr the game for that, and then due to all the negative things you could have done in the past tallied up for a ban

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.

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.

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
> > > >

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.
> > >
> > > 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 :wink: But I guess since we’re using false measurements, I might as well say you have less than 500 Halo gamerscore :frowning:
> > > 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!!!

Still ignoring my post :confused: 1) it’s separate, I know for a fact it’s separate, because it even states it on the 343 specifications on banning… please refer to it for more information. (EDIT: if you can’t find it, go ahead and get banned in Arena OR Warzone, and tell me if it prevents you from playing the other)
2) even you said over a span of time, which, the span of time was quite spread out… which point that you said was wrong, the span of time, or the fact that he didn’t get banned legitimately?
3) ignored comment about just spawning (still has not watched film :frowning: )
4) Didn’t break any rules of the forum, since it is not a related topic - discussing the concept rather than posting in a “why was I banned” forum is 2 different things - that’s like saying “why was my banana not ripe” versus “we should improve our bananas by choosing where we get them from” - metaphor of course, but very clear at that.
5) The banning system is inconsistent then… you just pointed that out. Which justifies my point about me leaving 1 game and my friend leaving many, which goes back to point #2, which point of yours is wrong then?
“Spoiler:” - your logic is flawed when you don’t review all evidence in front of you :frowning:
EDIT2: Did not refer to bullet list to improve system from beginning post on page 56, and only focused on my specific ban.
Please refer to all evidence before I return back to your posts; thank you.

i just told you all ban related topics go here…if you need the mods to change the title of this thread to make you understand that im sure that i reasonable…do you not comprehend? that is why you were locked out before…ALL ban topics come here. the reason for that is because in a topic like what you posted you will get pl that start complaining about WHY they were banned. to prevent that anything talking about the ban system period get locked and moved. still not a hard concept to grasp, but dont worry ill ask for a title change. something very vague cause you cant think outside the box on why you had a locked thread.

honestly does it matter what the website says when i clearly just told you i have seen ppl quit in warzone numerous times and not have one dnf in arena and they cant play arena…you cant be that oblivious can you? to prove why the website is flawed in what they say. you claim you quit one time, well if you include warzone you quit 3 times on the first two pages combined of your service record. and since you sound like you play a lot of grif all those betrayals do add up to receiving a ban, bans are not limited to only DNF.
anyways those three DNF are why you were banned plus betrayals. so maybe rethink assuming the bans are separate cause i notice a lot they are not. and in fact tie into each other whether they are suppose to or not

i dont need to see the clip. it doesnt matter how you spawned or where you spawned. i get it you spawn, enemy is trying to score you swing hammer and kill a teammate. but if it was the first time you killed said teammate you wouldnt have been kicked. if anything get mad at the guy you killed. i have been in a situation just like what you describe and guess what i didnt get kicked or even team kill. it seems 343 is not wanting grif to be mindless ppl just running around swinging a hammer. and again blame the guy who set yes boot the betrayer.

I keep getting the banhammer because at the end of the game after the scores it says connection lost and then I get banned. This was fine for a while when I was getting 10-30 minute bans but now I’m getting over 2 and a half hour bans because at the end of a game my connection goes. My internets fine and I hardly get any lag on halo but I still keep losing connection at the end of games. I can’t be the only one this has happened too and it really frustrates me when I can’t play halo because of a stupid connection loss after the games finished.

Nope, you aren’t the only one, and don’t let anyone tell you “you deserved it” :stuck_out_tongue:
This is one of the issues I have referred to regarding problems with the banning system - please refer to it at the top of page 56 and feel free to give it a like if you agree :wink:

Actually looking at his DNF games I found five very recent ones where his stats don’t line up with getting kicked out at the end of a game. Going 0-1 then leaving really…

what at it sounds like is happening is you DNF a game then go to play another game in which after that game finishes the system is kicking you early and then banning you for your previous offense. Once time runs out and announcer says game over its game over. You can leave and the game counts as complete. There is a slight delay 1-3 games in which the ban hammer kicks in. Don’t listen to the guy that doesn’t know what he is talking about you will be heavily mis guided. You have tons of DNFs.

In in case you missed it the connection lost you are getting at is the system expediting your ban. No point in your watching the end credits. The game is already over at that point

Too bad not all DNFs register, particularly disconnects. - Let’s say that he’s wrong though, hypothetically.
What about others? In fact, as I typed my first post on page 56 I got kicked from a Warzone game for not playing (yep, that’s right, I AFKd to time how long it takes to get kicked), didn’t get banned, and it wasn’t even in my games history. - But please, refute my personal evidence, and in turn refute your own about “knowing people who experienced warzone DNFs but got banned in Arena.” :wink:
Also, if I go to my recent matches in theater it does have a recording of me playing - However, when it DOES register for a disconnect and not just an AFK disconnect, it screws you over by 1) taking your card (i.e., xp boost or other boost), 2) waste of your time, and 3) giving you a “tally” on your ban; ain’t that the irony… :smiley:

I get banned for no reason literally. I have brobably been banned 5 or 6 times and everytime it says because i quit. I never quit. And most of the time it will throw me out of the game im currently playing and say im banned. Its a bunch of bullcrap and i know im not the only one. I never leave a match before its over. But what happens if i did?? What if my daughter wakes up in the night and i have to go tend to her. I get punished for it? This feature definatly needs to be removed and is my only problem with halo 5.

I couldn’t find the part where you said you were booted for AFKing, as an experiment, then again I wasn’t looking that hard.
Either way, do you have the game video posted with dates and everything so we can check your claims?
Also, in case I haven’t missed any links, your personal evidence is still just claims, as there is nothing backing it up.
See, we now have two conflicting statements, one is new, and one is old.

I haven’t been banned so I don’t know if you get banned from both for doing wrong in one, but I’ve always assumed that was the case because everyone, up to this point, has said they’ve been banned from Multiplayer, not just one part of it. Everyone I’ve seen that is.

Yes, I do think the banhammer need a lot of changes to it’s foundation, and I think i343 should communicate more on the current system and how it works. I’m not even certain I’ve seen any case where it has reset, or even decreased the ban time despite many clean games in between over a long period of time.

Really? Cause your first war zone DNF shows your were AFK the game. You also don’t get banned after every DNF. That’s very common sense. I just looked in your game history. Who are you trying to fool? Cause now your are making any point you had invalid by being blatantly wrong

Proof afk was a DNF. So it did register. Good job Jr
if you want some ice I’ll get you some

> In the month of April alone, I have accumulated two custom game DNFs, eight Arena DNFs, and eighteen Warzone DNFs for a grand total of twenty-eight DNFs. I have been banned from Arena matchmaking thrice; and I have yet to be suspended from Warzone matchmaking. Does Halo 5 not have two separate systems to monitor, and dispense punishment for Arena and Warzone matchmaking player infractions? If this is the case, then do the two systems deal sentences on different scales, instead of an universal judgment? I would like these questions to be answered by the proper authorities for this matter.

Here is your proof also. Just one of many guys who quit a lot in war zone and get banned in arena. I’ll get you the ice now. There is more but I have proven my point you haven’t proven yours.

if you don’t reply I will understand.

How does quitting in the arena stacks the warzone ban duration? Answer this please because I am always seeing this.

> How does quitting in the arena stacks the warzone ban duration? Answer this please because I am always seeing this.

i have never seen anyone get banned in warzone honestly. not saying it hasnt happened. but all the complaints ive seen here are about being banned in arena. which makes sense arena is the more competitive side of halo so dont let habitual quitters in a casual game mode come and ruin arena

The ban hammer is way to twitchy.

I quit 1 game and got banned.

You can check my game history.

First off I quit that assault match before I played the ctf match so ? On that.In the last week I’ve only 2 arena quits.
2 in arena (that assault match and one I played 4 Days ago)Is it >1 quit in a week = ban?
I only quit that assault match because I was lagging so bad that match was unplayable.
The other was a lag drop

RP CraZHoneyBadger:
Film is bookmarked, feel free to check it out sometime.
You know why I took so long to reply? Because I was doing school stuff - it’s the end of the semester, and I’m in college, so, you know, I prioritize that over immediately replying to every post on this forum. - Plus there’s a daily limit on how many posts I can have (hence why I’m posting on here now :smiley: )
Putting everything aside though, absolutely none of this has to do with anything that I’ve countered on your side - such as, warzone bans and arena bans being separate, or the fact that the one person had very few matches left in arena, but was banned. - On top of that, you attribute knowledge of the game (and forums) to how many posts one has, when you yourself don’t have even 1000 gamerscore in the collection of Halos. But you and I both know that both of these measurements are worth absolutely nothing, which is why you didn’t comment on it - better to not comment on it than to admit you’re wrong.
Foremost, you ignored the giant list I had on page 56 - remember, I by no means am saying that the ban system is unacceptable, but instead, propose improving the flaws about it.
Until I see something pertaining to my list and only my list, I see no reason to address any of your posts, or anyone else that decides to flame. This is pointless since the sole purpose of this talk has went beyond my proposal, to just talking about “why I was banned.” That is why I wanted a different thread, because this thread is full of cynical individuals who assume everyone deserves to get banned. Of course your point about others posting on my thread about “why” they were banned would happen, it’s inevitable, particularly when the system is flawed, but it would certainly grab more attention than this thread is currently doing. Certainly, a large portion of people DO deserve to be banned - but everyone? If anyone doesn’t think “out of the box” it’s you sadly.
Take care, friend.

So there I was, in a Slayer game when a friend invited me to join his fireteam. I press/hold the dashboard button to accept - only to find myself immediately banned from matchmaking for 10 minutes! The ban itself technically isn’t the issue as I did leave a game via the menu earlier this evening on account of literally unplayable lag (a once in a blue moon thing) but I didn’t expect to be yoinked out of this second game mid match by accepting the fireteam invite!
The default behaviour should be to only join the inviter’s party at first, and then join their fireteam when your match finishes.
This unintuitive behaviour rightly inconveniences remaining players too, by leaving the match with a 3 v 4 lineup.

So today i was just playing normally. I had not quite any games for atleast 2-3 hours and the upon FINISHING a game i was greated with this:

This seriously needs to be fixed

Today, I got banned from Griftball for accidentally betraying teammates. This is the third time I’ve gotten banned, and it is started worry me. I personally believe you shouldn’t be able to get banned from betraying in Griftball, because people betray accidentally all the time in Griftball with their Gravity Hammers.
