Unban Appeal

Step 1: Open the banlist of the server you were banned from

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).

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. 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.

Alternatively, your IP address may have been banned instead of your CD key hash. These aren't publicly listed.

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: Look at the Ban End Date and the Ban Count

If there is a Ban End Date then your ban is temporary, you do not need to send an unban request as you will automatically be unbanned on the date shown.

If there is no Ban End Date (--) then your ban is permanent, proceed to Step 4.

The length of the ban depends on how many times you have previously been banned (the Ban Count).

Ban Count	Ban Duration
1	5 mins
2	15 mins
3	7 days
4	28 days
5+	permanent

Step 4: Submit your unban request (only if you have a permanent ban)

Skip this step if you found a temporary ban in Step 3. While you are waiting for your ban to end, you should brush up on our Game Server Rules.

You earn a permanent ban either through a build up of temporary bans (check your Ban Count against the table in Step 3), or a PÕQ Clan member caught you breaking the rules and gave you a permanent administrative ban.

How to submit your unban appeal

1. Register on our forums if you don't already have an account there.
2. Read the format for unban requests topic which has important information about the format you should use for your request.
3. Go to our forums Unban Requests section and post 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,
