You can't be banned if you don't go there. Before Halo 4 was released I would go there pretty often, but seeing as how I don't like to stir things up a lot, I wasn't banned. I don't like Halo Waypoint because other than discussion value, there's absolutely no reason to go there. The staff of 343 has made it completely clear that they don't care about their community, so why be part of it? I would give them more points if they made sub-par Halo games and at least showed a little more dedication to their fans. Not to mention the user interface and speed of that website is god awful. And not only that, the way they ban people is completely childish. No matter how bad things have gotten at Bnet, the Ninjas have been sensible in their decisions most of the time, rather than banning everyone for life. This place is infinitely more classy.
