It looks like my Halo Dedicated Server (DS) has been removed from the Lobby display. This server has been running and displayed in the Lobby for about 6 months. In that amount of time I have on purpose only banned 6 or less users. The only thing I have ever banned anyone for is shooting of teammates. I did't have autoban configured untill last weekend, whem I had trouble with 2 disruptive players. The first switched team just so he could shot rockets at me, launching me around the map. Game play sucks with that kind of activity, I told him to stop 3 times, but no, so I banned him. The second one, his buddy, got upset telling me how I was in the wrong and wouldn't give it up, so I banned him. The next day I unbanned both, the second individual came back switch to my team then said how he turned me into Bungie and my server will be banned unless I say "I was wrong and am sorry", what??? After which he would "team kill" me once or twice and leave before he got AUTOBANNED. That happened two more times, I wasn't ready for him or I would have banned him for ever.
But now it looks like my server is BANNED from the BUNGIE LOBBY. My question is how do I get my server reinstated.
Appreciate someones thoughts and help with this problem.

i really doubt bungie would give half a -blam!- if you said "i was in the wrong,i am sorry",so you probably accidentally closed it or something.i am pretty sure they would get your side of the story.as to getting the DS back,i think you can just re-download it from halomaps.org

First of all, I must say I'm sorry that you had to meet such immature retards. Secondly, they can't do anything to you, or your server. Your server can't get "banned" (closed is a better term) by Bungie, they, nor Bungie has any authority to stop you from hosting your dedicated server.

Just get the server back up the first time you did it.

My understanding is they can keep my Server Name from appearing in the Halo Lobby, I guessing by rejecting my internet connection MAC Address. Which equates to no one being able to find my server.

It's simply not possible, plus they neither have the authority nor the capability to stop your server from showing up in the Lobby.

No they cannot remove your server from the list don't listen to them. Check your init file you may have left out sv_public True out when you setup the autoban.

Me gustan huevos.

I completely forgot about that, Iggwilv. If you set it to false, that's like hosting a dedicated server on a LAN, but if you set sv_public to true, that means it's available to all on the internet. (I think.)
