Thread: ss26 banned players

    Default ss26 banned players

    Ok here's a thought Evony

    Some of Evony's players were permanently banned for expressing their frustration and disappointment at how the ss26 merger was done.....these same players, "YOUR GAME PLAYERS" have worked very hard in the past few days to accumulate extra cities, items, resources and troops for this merger after being informed of the date on 05/17/2010.

    Ya their conduct may not have been the greatest and posts could have been written just alittle bit different. While the bannings were justified according to "EVONY" rules of the forums.....a few days, a week or even a month for a problem that you created, would have been a better solution not a permanent ban that is extremely harsh for a problem you created.

    We all have been frustrated by the ss26 merger today.....I'm sure even in your own company tempers were not held in check very well either, granted some of the players may have went overboard in their way of expressing their anger, disappointment but you created the problem with all the hype about the "Super Server Merge" for the past few months.

    I personally feel that "Evony" went abit overboard with a permanent ban. I personally feel also that "Evony" should return to those banned players their ability to post or read the forums.

    Come on "Evony" consider the circumstances what's fair is fair you created this problem......permanent ban is very extreme and harsh for your game players.....in my opinion just not right at all.

    Evony creating a problem doesn't mean players can say what they want without consequences. There were problems for everyone, if someone decided to take it badly and do what they did then they get banned.
    No-one is above the rules of this forum. If they want to keep up to date they still have the ability to read.

    Just because you don't like something someone has to say, doesn't mean you need to run around insulting them and making things up.

    Analogy: I don't like the way the police handled a situation, so I'm going to go break the law to get back at them. Sorry, but that's not how things work.

    would evony ever realise that this game is NOT played by Americans only. Everybody takes control according to what social conventions they are used to.

    And while there, you might be used to overzealous, over caffeinated COPS, in many parts of the world, even the cops behave like normal ppl. They know how to take criticism and to forgive overzealous criticism sometimes. I'm saying that evony's policies of "My way or the highway" w.r.t. forum discussions are frustrating and sometimes impossible to tolerate.

    That said, some of the attacks and accusations made are just bile sometimes. But if you blanket ban nearly all critical discussion, we do wonder if you just don't want to deal with any. The politest threads are closed without giving them a chance to talk. Mails take forever to answer. System is SLOW.

    And most free to use games and communities often utilise the power of "community help", letting discussions occur and staff providing answers in public forums so that the often repeating complaints die down to more manageable levels.

    I have been a player and main forum mod at another game's forum and even I sometimes find the restrictiveness of this one rather frustrating. It almost feels like "ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED TO BAN ME, SHOULD THE EVONY GODS BE OF THE MIND TO DO SO" is the official evony forum message. Its a feeling you are often giving us.

    OK, rant over. Back to troubling some monkey.

    Yep! I was on that thread alllll day yesterday and let me tell you, I had no ability at the time to edit posts/threads otherwise

    Entropy is right, most users unless it's a serious violation on the forums breaking the rules get infractions, and eventually a "ban". It's a suspension, 3 days at most, then it lifts, it's considered a "cool down" period. I was on the SS26 threads and I have to tell you, at the time I was unable to edit those posts as this until today was not a section I could moderate.

    Many of those users (who were getting infractions/bans) were attacking another player and insulting them, swearing, threatening legal action, the list goes on. I understand it's frustrating, I myself have had bugs and issues on this game and many others. You want to throw the computer out the window in a bloody rage, but forum rules are rules.
    (listed here: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=615)

    Permanent bans are reserved people who ban evade, or if they've been suspended several times.

    And clearly as you can see the thread is still open, and people are not being infracted/warned cause they are stating their opinion WHILE abiding by the rules. End of story.

    I know the thread you are referring to, and it was me who was in there tossing infraction cards around because some people couldn't remember to follow forum rules. I issued no permanent bans, and only one 1-day suspension. Even a banning doesn't prevent anyone from reading the forums, though, so it really boils down to this:

    The forums are viewable by the public and we do not infringe anyone's ability to read what is posted here. We do have some simple and sane rules for posting here, because without them the forums degenerate into an AOL old-school chatroom. (Some of you know EXACTLY what I mean!)

    For those who can abide by the rules, you may post your opinions, whether we like them or not. For those who cannot follow the rules? Well, you don't need to be posting here then. I could probably link you to an AOL chatroom though!

    I didn't just post this thread without checking my facts first:

    I checked User CP-Latest Infractions this is what was posted;

    You have been banned for the following reason:
    Don't threaten us.

    Date the ban will be lifted: Never

    Maybe you should ask yourself what was the threat this person was banned for......."threating to leave the game".

    This person never posted before that was his first post and he was mad, disappointed and highly frustrated over losing so much work before the merger as the whole server of 82 was. He is denied the ability to read the forums this I have also checked.

    You also stated that all anyone ran into on that thread was a wannabe mod my answer to you is this someone was monitoring that thread with enough power to cause this player to be ban not for 1 day or 3 days but as it clearly states "Date the ban will be lifted: Never".

    And lastly I thought the forums were suppose to be used to express ones opinion about the game if not maybe you would be so kind to direct me to the right place to post a thread.

    You are referring to the giant flamefest last night, right? The one here: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=129693

    First off, Evony does not discuss infractions/warning of people publicly. Almost any forum doesn't.

    Secondly, there were several warnings/infractions, and I happen to see several users still here that were warned or infracted. You also have to realize as a few people who may seem innocent got themselves banned for repeated issues and not just what they posted on that thread, or ban evaders, or multis trying to stir up trouble.

    Thirdly, checking your CP only shows your personal infractions/warnings. You wouldn't be publicly telling us if you were, and if someone is suspended/banned (and not just infracted), you don't get to see why unless you're them.

    If it's you who is logging into a suspended or banned account, however, you can't post, but you can see the reason as to why you were banned as you described above. Hope that clarifies.

    If you have any further questions or concerns regarding forum rules that you couldn't find under forum rules I listed on my last post, please feel free to PM one of the moderators or Evony representatives for more information.

    We will not pick out people and tell you publicly why they were warned/infracted/suspended, nor will we discuss some else's account with anyone but them.
