> Yeah I get what your saying and yes focused forces most JIP games but it also should be best option not mostly JIP games and using balanced at times is a lag fest. What i’am saying is if I leave a JIP games without spawning into game it should not count towards bans

I was told it had to do with a percentage of dnfs compared to overall games. Finish enough games and I think youll eventually be able to quit one safely

I’m almost frustrated enough to uninstall the game at this point.

Same, now the game bans me for a day. I only left one game of infection as well.

You are stuck waiting, I saw 8 dnf’s in the last 5 days.

You have left 7 games in the last 4 days.

This happened to me what happened was I lagged out of my game then the text . Popped up and Saud I was banned so I would really hope they resolve this so people don’t have to go through this

The thing is tough 75% of the quits are due to lag and I don’t see why but ok thanks

OK sooo I got f-ing banned for no reason I got kicked out of 3 matches today and I didn’t leave or betray anyone it keeps kicking me out of the games I play and when it does it says left fireteam I was by myself I’m soo done with the banning -Yoink-

343 is there anyway you can fix the bans?

Yeah but this thread was made due to that the servers are bade and they keep dropping.

Actually, if your connection is set up correctly you will rarely get disconnected.

Every time I’m in a game, after 3 or 4 minutes i get kicked and the screen freezes, this been happening since yesterday, like 10 times. I tried with my brothers account and nothing happens, I think it’s just my account or something.
Oh and a message pops up sometimes (even when I’m not in a game) saying something about my team like “Your team left” or something like that

I was kicked from a game two days ago, I can only assume it was a server problem because I didn’t have any betrayals, and I got a 40 min ban due to quitting too many games. I don’t quit games even when I am out numbered, less skilled, or even if the game is having extreme lag. It’s obvious that the servers cannot detect weather or not someone is booted from a match or actually quits the match because of so many people saying the same thing… I didn’t quit, got lagged out, and still got banned… the ban hammer needs some work. People hate to be punished when it isn’t their fault… sooner or later they will stop trying

Comon! We know thats not true! Yust try and fix this banning system please!

I kept accidentally idling because I thought I quit the matchmaking and apparently didn’t. I just realized I think it’s because right when the game ends sometimes when I wanted to take a break I would hit start and then hit leave but when a came back later it said “wake up John” I thought I was just accidentally not leaving but now I realize I need to back all the way out when I leave in that way.I’ve never quit a match or killed someone on purpose and always follow the rules. I now have a 5 hour ban on my only day off from work this week. Please undo my ban it was just ignorance on that one idling problem. I didn’t know what I was doing. Please help me. You can check my history I’m not making this up.

Been getting banned for a couple of months now, even though i dont quit out,i can play 1 game and get banned for 6 days. when im not playing my ban gets increased,PLEASE HELP ME!!!
It workrd fine up until the infection update,sometimes on end game screen says lost connection

Just got banned because I allegedly “quit” too much. I was playing strongholds on plaza in team arena when suddenly, I was forced out of the match and got the “your fireteam has changed” screen. How can my fireteam change if I’m the only one in my fireteam?
This is just bull -Yoink-. I’ve done nothing wrong and I got banned for it–AGAIN. This game has already banned me twice because of fireteam “changes” or disconnects. And to add to that burn, that disconnect was my one and only “quit” after my last ban.

If anyone thinks that 343,should revise there ban system, mainly regarding the disconnection part, I’ve created a thread as well as a poll in the support forums, you guys should please check that out.
Honestly 343 should listen to there fan base, I mean, surely most people here would agree that its not fair to ban players, long time fans, just because there interweb cuts out from time to time right?

Go check out my poll in the support forum, and share with others, maybe 343 will listen eventually.
