Just to bring closer, my ban got lefted after 2 weeks.  The reason I was banned was because I criticized the how the game was handled and speculated that the company would likely follow the same business model in the future.  Thou the CM offered no more explanation, he didn't give me a name to contact in case I felt I was falsely banned either.

Let me guess Truth.  You did this too?   Either way, I tried to contact some of the CMs, asked to speak with their supervisors, not that it would change the past.  I figured maybe they would look into changing how they handled these types of things.  No response and dead air.  So I posted a "Farewell" speech, briefly explaining why I was leaving.  I expect it to be removed, but at this point I am done with that forum.   Time to move on with RDR2 on the way, I was pretty much done with TD anyway.

Not really, but we saw a ton of people get the boot from the F13 forums for the same sh*t.

I got suspended for making a thread asking "Who wants to see a video made by a forum member". Said forum member had previously been banned and was making a video documenting all the BS that went on with the devs/community. One of the admins warned me not to post the video, so I didn't. I asked who wanted to see the video, and mentioned I would pm the link to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. I got a 30 day suspension for "abusive behavior".

I (not thinking anything of it) made another account just to continue talking to certain people that didn't make the move here. That got me a permaban...

It kind of bothers me that they can't even show my account as banned, it still shows me as an active member. They made it look like I just disappeared.

All because of my trademark snarkiness.  I wasn't even mad, I was just disappointed that they couldn't be honest with the real reason I was suspended.

Edit: Note the length of the ban time.  Clearly, they have a sense of humor as perverse as mine, so at least there's that.

Those were some good posts too! Really brightened up the day! And let's face it, it's not like there was any other activity going on...

Pretty sure I'm at the IP ban stage...

Doubt it.  

What you can do is log in with another browser (chrome, IE/Edge, or Firefox).  

The alternate is to remove the cookies or password stored on your system for that site/domain.  When I was banned, I had a similar issue, but using a different browser or deleting my browsing history/cookies/password for that site cleared up the issue and I could still browse it.

That's what I did when I made the 2 bogus accounts. Now (starting right after the second account was banned) I get that message no matter what I do.

So you got banned for sharing an opinion? Screw that site and whatever game it goes with. I don't care if it was lifted or not, that is just being childish. If they can't handle a little criticism they won't do well in the real world.

Well, as a mod, all I can say is that some forums are much more strict than others. Here, we're kind of lax on most things. (the few things we're not lax on are outlined in the Rules section. That's why they exist.)

But I, personally, would never temp OR permaban anyone without an explanation. Hell, I even temp-banned one recently and took the time to explain why -- then @Benjo told me I'd just temp-banned a SpamBot.  😒  But, I always prefer to err on the side of caution.

@NthnButAGoodTime is also a mod on another popular forum, and has a bit more experience than me. Perhaps he can shed more light?

May I ask which forum it was?

Out of curiosity, how did you know it was a spambot? What details gave it away and such.

That place is gross.  It makes the current Judiciary Committee hearings over the SCOTUS pick seem civilized by comparison.

I get ALL my TCTD news from Reddit.  The same goes for any lingering feelings I have for Friday the 13th, the Game.  It's my understanding that this is an unofficial forum for the game, which is why I'm here instead of participating in a more... totalitarian regime on an official forum.  This place is awesome specifically because it's not beholden to any masters--that makes a HUGE difference.  

Edit: on a side note, would you happen to have any information or insight as to what the next Shield is going to be?  I can't find anything, anywhere, and it's slated to drop in less than two weeks.

Funny how Dan left Ubisoft and their terrible forums to go work at another misled community. Poor fellow.

I also enjoy the "damned if you do" argument of - don't make new topics on certain issues, but dont necro old threads. 

@Truth

I never unlocked that achievement.

That was back when I was more of a heathen over there.

Spamming? Was that with @BropolloCreed79?

 

They called it "spamming" but I was really necro'ing the oldest threads in Gen-chat and applying a "modern perspective" to threads that were pretty old.  At least they were a bit more honest with @TheHansonGoons.  All I got was the trademark Gun Media subterfuge.

They can call it whatever they want, I called it entertaining. It's their own fault for feeding us so much bullsh*t. If they didn't want you to do that they should've spent more time deleting THOSE posts instead of all the negative feedback.

Not to be trite, but everything I said was true, which is what made is so damn hilarious when I was put in a corner for "6 Days, 9 Hours".  The game has had a bit of a bump on PS4 recently, but enthusiasm for those numbers needs to be tempered because it's about 40%-50% squeakers.

That's the same face I made when I finished watching The Last Jedi.

I make that face quite often if you know what I mean ;)
