Actually ses, I definitely agree with your post but you are wrong about about this. Bungie can most definitely ban you from their game because of bungie.net matters. (trust me) I know it's encrypted in the Terms of Use or Code of Conduct, I may quote it for you some other time but I know Big A can back me up on this.
But of course only employees like Achronos, Jeremiah, and lukems have such power. A designee like a forum moderator do not and never will have that kind of ability.

no, the two matters are distinct.
furthermore, many bans in the bnet forums stem from activity that is not against the terms of use of xboxlive or h3 mm.
If I understand correctly you CAN be banned from H3 MM regardless of the COC (because it is considered (legally) to be a separate service). You will still be able to enjoy "Custom Games". However, you can not be banned from XBL unless it is in the CoC and a VIP/XBL Administrator/Employee bans you.
Also like another user said you can get banned for bumping on the forums. Is that really worth a three day ban from enjoying Halo 3 MM as well? That seems a little too harsh for me. Perhaps though, that would make users less likely to commit stupid actions? However, IMO a ban from Bungie.Net is sufficient enough.
