PÕQ Clan Ban Removal
Copy of Halo $20. PC $1000. Time to catch up on my reading now that I've been banned, priceless.
Step 1:
Open the banlist page of the server you were banned from.
Halo PC Banlists |
|
|---|---|
| Servers | Banlists |
| MODS#1: Bloodgulch (CTF) | BANNED |
| MODS#2: Space Snipers (CTF) | BANNED |
| MODS#3: DeathIsland (CTF) | BANNED |
| MODS#4: DeathIsland Cycle | BANNED |
| MODS#5: Gephyrophobia (CTF) | BANNED |
| MODS#6: SuperSniper (CTF) | BANNED |
Halo CE Banlists |
|
| Servers | Banlists |
| CE#1: Coldsnap (CTF) | BANNED |
| CE#2: Ambush (CTF) | BANNED |
| CE#3: Fox Island Insane (CTF) | BANNED |
Step 2:
Find your player name on the banlist.
Newer bans tend to be toward the bottom of the list. A quick way to find your name is to use your browser's Find feature (usually Ctrl-F).
If this isn't your first time being banned on this server then also try looking for the name you were using when you were first banned.
Can't find your name?
Bans are linked to the CD Key Hash. If you aren't the only person using your Halo license key (eg. you borrowed it or share it) then someone else using it may have caused your CD Key Hash to be banned under their name. There is no fix for this other than getting your own licensed copy of Halo.
Found your name listed, but you've never been banned?
Because names are not reserved in Halo, you may not be the only person who has used that name. Players with the same name will not be effected by the ban because it is linked to the CD Key Hash, not the name.
Step 3:
When you find your name, note the Ban End Date and the Ban Count.
If there is no Ban End Date (--) then your ban is permanent.
You'll have to proceed to Step 4 if you have any hope of ever getting on again.
If there is a Ban End Date then your ban is temporary.
If you were Team Killing (betraying your teammates) at the time you
were banned, then it is most likely that you were auto-banned by the server. If not, then a clan member probably caught you breaking our server rules.
Lucky for you, you will automatically be unbanned on the Ban End Date. But you need to learn a lesson from this experience because the penalties keep going up.
The length of the ban depends on how many times you have previously been banned (the Ban Count).
|
Ban Count |
Ban Duration |
| 1 | 1 hr |
| 2 | 1 day |
| 3 | 1 week |
| 4 | 1 month |
| 5+ | permanent |
Don't even bother asking if you can be unbanned before the Ban End Date. You can't.
While you're waiting for your ban to end, you should brush up on our Game Server Rules.
Step 4:
Skip this step for now if you found a temporary ban in Step 3. But keep up the bad behavior and you'll be in this situation soon enough.
If there is no Ban End Date on your ban then you somehow earned yourself a permanent ban.
There are two ways to get a permanent ban. Either you've had a lot of previous temporary bans and worked yourself up to the top penalty level (check your Ban Count against the table in Step 3), or a PÕQ Clan member caught you breaking the rules and decided to give you a permanent administrative ban. We come down particularly hard on aimbotters and other cheaters. And yes, we do operate undercover sometimes to catch you rule-breakers in action.
If you want to be unbanned, you probably have a lot of explaining to do. We consider these servers our home and we don't want people in our home if they can't behave themselves. So first you should brush up on our Game Server Rules so that you fully understand why you are in trouble. Yes, you can dispute whether you broke the rules, and we will correct any mistakes made by our members. But be warned that we may have a log of what led up to your permanent ban. So be careful before you decide to accuse a PÕQ Clan member of getting it wrong, because you may find yourself banned on ALL the PÕQ Clan servers if we catch you lying about what happened.
OK, you still want to try to get back on? Then first register on our forums if you don't already have an account there. Once you are register, you can go to our forum's "Unban Requests" section and post your request. Be certain you read the first message in that section, titled "** If you want to be unbanned, READ THIS! **", because it has important information about the format you should use for your request.
Sorry that you found yourself in this trouble, but we have certain standards to uphold on our servers. Play clean. Follow the rules. That's all we ask.
Thanks,PÕQ Leaders
