Ahh thank you Aett. Took a look and see nothing that says I can't talk about the bannings. Off to to write another thread. Well not yet, but later today.
Enjoy your day please.

Read them again. It specifically says that you're not supposed to talk about administrative actions.

Have fun getting your thread deleted.
The bannings are off limits because it is between NCSoft and the player in question.
Personally, I do not know anyone who has been banned and I know a LOT of people that were farming the HELL out of the Comm Officers. Which leads me to the conclusion that the people banned were doing something well beyond what is considered acceptable.
If someone got banned and didn't do anything wrong, well, yeah that sucks. But if they were knowingly doing something against the rules and got banned for it I have no sympathy.
Funny how now that CoH is doing the same thing other MMOs have been doing for years as far as rule enforcement goes is raising such a stink. Everquest banned a lot of people, with no warning, for comparitively minor infractions. WoW currently does the same thing, again for relatively minor infractions.
And people are crying about getting banned here for extreme exploits like it's a horrible injustice.
Amuses me.
IBTD, bye now

Except the ban-script, and other things, have been handled sloppily, and certain players and characters who never touched the MA or AE got banned. Even a brusque, "Oh? Well, take it up with support." would be more than the mod/ban-brushoff I keep seeing. There is no dialog, just modding, banning, and deleting.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
My point was that other MMOs have been doing exactly that for years. No dialog, no warning, just hit em with the banstick.
Now that CoH is doing the same thing it is suddenly a horrible thing. There is no proof one way or the other that some (or most) of the players who never touched AE didn't get banned for something else. People have been getting banned in CoH since the game started, you are naive if you think otherwise. But, since they kept it quiet, there was no uproar. The player was just gone with no explanation.
The devs informed the playerbase that the risk of getting characters deleted and accounts banned existed. Presumably in the interest of good communication with the community. Personally, I think that was a mistake on their part. If they were going to start banning people they should have just done it and not said anything. There would be far fewer threads like this, and far fewer people up in arms about the "injustice" of all of it.
The only sympathy I have is for those players who just started and joined the Comm Officer farms because they thought that's what they were supposed to do. They didn't know that was an exploit, they were just doing what everyone else was doing. I have no sympathy for experienced players doing the same, they should know better.
I have to just shake my head every time I see the argument brought up of: "I pay my $15 a month, I should be allowed to do what I want"
That is exactly the same as telling a judge in traffic court: "I pay my taxes, traffic laws shouldn't apply to me."

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people actually do this. And then there's the ones that think they shouldn't pay taxes and traffic laws shouldn't apply to them...

I don't pay taxes and I know for a fact traffic laws don't apply to me. My mommy told me so.

I seem to recall an issue in SWG(?) that had people getting banned for money duping. Rather, being in possession of duped money they were drive-by gifted (which doesn't require consent, from what I understand) while the actual dupers didn't get banned because they didn't possess any duped money (anymore!).

So I was just responding to a post that I am pretty sure will get mod smacked pretty soon. Made me curious what we aren't allowed to talk about. If the recent bannings are on the list I kind of feel we should be informed somewhere. Or maybe we were and I didn't choose to go though 12000 posts that day to stumble across it.
Just curious. As always thanks in advance.
