According to BS Angel (Community Manager at Halo Waypoint) mentioned that they banned for profile modifications. Just a heads up for those of you who modded your accounts.

EDIT: My Friend; apparently he was banned because he put a illegal character in his Service Tag. (@#$% ect...)

Well I modded all my armors, commendations, loadouts (everything lol) and I still haven't gotten banned. "knocks on wood"

Also I read the thread and the guy said he was banned for his offensive language. (he can still play, but can't talk on his mic or anything)

343's system bans people is based on conectivity and skill levels stuff like that it doesn't look at your unlocks just things like the amount of xp your earning and k/d ratio (checks for boosting and stuff like that) for match making bans and from the looks of it even the amount of mutes you are given for the mic ban.

I heard that Halo 4 is using Halo Reach's security and it has an insta ban if you mod your Service Tag to something that is not allowed (symbols, bad words, etc.)...

Hmmm. Well, I modded my gpd to unlock everything without modding the commendations and such (I have the green visor without mastering the Splatter commendation, the FOTUS armor without BestBuy pre-order, etc). Let's see what happens.

There were ways to get the UA Multi-Thread (Threat) or whatever it was in Reach via GPD editing. Since Halo 4 uses the same security. I Doubt it would get you banned unless you modded credits, commendations and boosted and stuff.

Yeah, also if you go on halo waypoint it tells you how many commendations you have completed but idk if you can go on someone else's profile and see how much they have completed.
