    Wrongfully banned, multiple times. Is there a hacker amidst?

    So I got an email stating this:
    (5 DAYS) - discussing piracy - 1 week
    Sexual comments - 60 minutes
    Inappropriate picture links in global 1 chat - 12hrs

    Just curious... is it wrong for me to demand proof of these things?


    This is the only image I ever posted in G1 today, unless it's a REALLY old image, which would still be along the same line.

    There's no rule against posting images, unless it's pornographic.
    And... my image isn't pornographic at all.

    Also, is stating that "piracy exists" really discussing piracy?
    There was no continuation, nor multiple statements on it. Just a one-liner.

    Personally, I think the image is inappropriate because it's desecrating the cover of a fantastic album! But seriously, I hope you get it sorted soon.

    Make sure no one has your account information, (email and password, and information to change them)

    and ya, just sit and wait.

    (in my opinion, the picture is weird, but no reason for a banning)

    It's you.

    Either you are in denial or not in your right mind when you do these things.

    You get caught because you have been asked so many times to stop and you basically ignore how your behavior effects others.

    This compels others to report you. Mods will not ban you without clear evidence.

    My advice is that you take responsibility, and then move on with modified behavior that helps you avoid problems in the future.

    I too had some difficulties adjusting to a communal space. That caused grief for others and for myself.

    Through careful reflection and self-assessment I was able to change my behaviors enough so that I could fit into the community.

    Yes ^ exactly what EpsilonSilver said. Start being a community member instead of raging against everyone.

    While I agree with you in certain principal ways, this is absolutely wrong thinking and there is no way a game can be literally run with such a hitler-esque mind state.

    Are we attempting to conform everyone now to be a member of this "amazing" community?
    Does he really have to stop being himself and be someone who the other people in chat find positive and enlightening?

    If what Arco says is true in regards to these being the -only- things he has been banned for, then the entire situation is completely crap and he is correct to be mad. Just because he might piss some people off, even if they are mods, doesn't mean that he should be taken off of the game for it.

    It does not matter how his behavior affects others. Unless he is personally attacking them or ruining their game in some way, there is no reason you can not use the IGNORE command to disregard him, rather than letting it affect you. This is a game on the internet, and if you sign up to play it, you should leave your feelings at the doorstep because no one is here to be a friendly, nice guy to you for no reason.

    There is no requirement that we even respect other players. In terms of not harassing them - yes. But he does NOT have to become a "member" of this community in the ways that have been proposed in this thread by previous posters. Video games are not the place for reflections, they are a place to play a game in any way that one wishes to. If mods are getting butthurt and banning for reasons this small, it would be a sad day for me personally.

    Banned, Arco?

    Is that the only reason that there are some days you're not spamming trade chat?

    And I thought you had simply found something other than CEO to do in life...guess I was wrong!

    You obviously don't pay much attention to his chats.
