If it was officially banned, then I doubt it.
One of mine wasn't banned, but a few of the testers told me they'd feel obligated to report it for content if I didn't edit it. I wasn't thinking particularly well when I had the 'villain' group be children and the objective was "Defeat All".
You could ask them if they would unlock/delete it, but I wouldn't count on it. They lock AE missions that they think are farms so that the person that made it can't make a new one to replace it (without running out of mission slots that is.)

Well the mission is on the part were you can edit and change it then they will check it again

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

If you want to risk another slot to post the same mission again to check to see if it is still ban-able once i16 hits, go for it.

It wouldn't have any rewards in i16 so you can't miss use it so it really would not break the rules, i just thought it was funny to get comments say "I only lasted 5 seconds." |

You could re-write the story so the children are fans of "Twilight" and you have to stop them from making a horrible literary choice.

I know you're big on story above all but jeez, it's a simulator. Let people use it as such to test their abilities if the choose, and their intent is not to gain undue rewards.

I like that you are consistant, Alt_O_Holic.
But if the rules change, then perhaps the current banned/unbanned state should reflect the current rules.
On the other hand, leaving a banned arc as banned after the rule change would reflect the writer's willingness to break rules. Example: A speeding ticket for doing 45 in a 35 zone probably won't get removed from your record if the zone is later changed to a 45Mph zone.
*shrug*
I would hope that arcs with reduced rewards would be labelled as such.

Sure, unban the mission... but the slot is still gone. The loss of the slot is the punishment for violating the rules.

I also have to say that others have offered some good justification (or rationalization?) to create such arcs, although "catching" truant children with my mastermind's robot's burn patches seem even a little silly compared to "arresting" criminals with fireballs.
To my knowledge you can contact the Customer Support via your PlayNC.com log in and submit a ticket to request that they please clear the banned slot so that you can make a new mission.

Players can file 1 appeal. If CS determines the ban was justified you won't get the slot back. You only get an arc back if they decide a mistake was made on their part.

• Players who have a story arc banned for any reason, will have it continue to use up one of their publishing slots. Players will NOT be able to unpublish this slot without Customer Service’s help. This sets up a “three strikes and you’re out” policy. If an individual gets three story arcs banned, they will no longer be able to publish since their slots will all be used up with banned arcs. •• This lock will not take place on the first level of “complaint banning”, where an arc has received a larger number of complaints. Players will still have a chance to fix the arc. •• If Customer Service looks at an arc and determines it was banned in error, they will mark it as “unbannable”. At that point the arc can not be banned for any reason. The unbannable flag will reset if the player makes any changes to the arc at that point, and the arc can be banned again. •• Remember, publishing slots are account wide, so players will not be able to log in another character on their account and use their slots instead. |
With i16 coming i am wondering if i would be able to get a mission back up that only has bosses in it. I made it just to see if i could get a team to live a huge mob of guys and never cared about the xp and with i16 there will be no rewards. So do you think that i would be able to get it back when i16 comes out? [not sure if this is right area but i dont care
