I was doing pindle runs and I guess the game thought I was duping cause I joined and left games to fast. how long do I have to wait before I get back on?

I'm not sure of the exact time, but it isn't long. 5 minutes or less I'd estimate.

Happened to me the other day. It took about 2 hours.

There have been a lot of varying reports on this, from 5 minutes to entire days. Some speculate the penalty has gotten stiffer since 1.11. I don't know if the game is particularly concerned that you're duping, but if you create a number of games from the same IP in a short time, you create server stress and it doesn't take kindly.

In theory, creating 3 games in one minute will do it, but I've been temporarily banned for making 2.

I thought it was such that you had to wait always at least 3 minutes between join/exit of a game or else you will in time get such a ban.

Back to the topic, just give it a break and don't try to log-on for a time of 1 hour or so and then try again. Trying to log-on constantly just makes it worse.

take a look at my bnet connection guide for more info.

Basically, the temporary ban time is based on how many times you try to sign on before you're unbanned.
