You haven't been banned.

Some context would help us answer your question. It can also mean that you're a current and paid subscriber. Sometimes it means both that AND unbanned.

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.
Or after a particularly intensive night on the town you get uncertainly to your feet and remark to no one in particular, "Good, standing."

it means you have a really high forum rep

From the context of the original question i would say that this is wrong. The previous answers would be my guess.

In general, in any other business, "account must be in good standing" means 'paid up, active & current'.
In relation to CoH & beta invites, I suppose you could replace 'active' with 'unbanned'. But 'paid up & current' would also still apply.
just a guess

I think it's just a vague term to allow them to exclude people from the closed beta who would otherwise qualify for it - for example, a 5 year vet is entitled to a closed beta invite under the requirements they set out, but if there's a 5 year vet who's disruptive or constantly negative or aggressive towards other posters or the devs, or just generally thought to be an unsuitable beta tester for whatever reason, then they'd be unlikely to be allowed in.

The guess of 'paid up and unbanned' is the safest bet.
People who haven't been reported, are helpful with bugging things, haven't made characters/engaged in behavior where GM's had to intervene, and helped provide feedback when asked to do so are all possibilities, but that's conjecture.

No, someone like that they'd simply ban from the beta. And once banned from the beta, they are no longer in good standing |

I'd replace 'paid up and unbanned' with 'paid up and unblacklisted'.
You don't have to be currently banned from the game to lose future beta invites.
One leak pinned to you would be good enough.

If your account is:
Paid and open
Has no severe infractions (may include previous GM warnings. Definitely would include bans, at least theoretically.)
Has not been tagged as disruptive, bitchy, or generally unconstructive on the forums
Has not been pinned as a leak for previous betas
Meets any other necessary criteria for said beta
It is in good standing.

That's what I was meaning - I think it's more than just having a paid and open account.

i suppose the severe doom and gloom is infrequent enough to be mostly overlooked. If only it was ignored completely.
