-for that thread/post? 2 weeks? you’ve gotta be ****ting me, that is ridiculous imo, doesnt seem fair in the least..

-because of posting about an npc’s addy?!

I would also like to know why, I don’t see the problem of that post.

What? Even if you consider it RP I think just a warning is enough.

Log in to see images!

so, not even small jokes as a thread topic are allowed, but ppl can troll all over, is that how it works now? utterly ludicrous

The funny thing is, he was banned AFTER the thread was moved to GRP… Does that make any sense?

There has to be more to this story. If there’s not, and that was the sole reason Crinkz was banned, that is total and utter B.S.

For the most part, when I hear people griping about someone getting banned, I usually see the reasoning behind it, even if I don’t personally agree with the ban.

But in this case? I can’t even fathom the reasoning.

Whoever banned him, please explain to us why he was banned, so that the rest of us can follow the rules. I know posting someone’s personal information is a banworthy offense.

But Ravit is a fictional character. Would I get banned if I posted Sherlock Holmes’ personal street address? How about if I gave you Superman’s home phone number?

(Edited to remove Sherlock’s address & Superman’s phone number, just in case)

It is not posting personal information. It is for role playing in Game Discussion. You know the bolded part.

I read that entire thread. How was that Role-Playing? If that was role-playing, then every single person that was discussing Tubmailing the Starving_2_Death NPC needs to get a 2 Week ban as well.

If that was the reason for the ban, that is the thinnest excuse I have ever seen, anywhere. It wasn’t until you just claimed that it was Role-Playing that I even saw that, if someone was specifically bumuming Crinkz was trying to RP, that it even appears to be RPing.

Seriously. If that’s considered RPing, then there are a crapload of posts in GD that should be considered weak attempts at Trolling, and each of those players needs a 2 week ban as well.

It looks to be a legitimate question regarding the Game. And it was answered by Largehardoncollider.

A tech question about the game, answered by another player. In other words, exactly the purpose of GD.

This ban is fundamentally wrong, and I really think it needs to be reviewed by someone other than a Mod.

issues with modding on this site? Well i never…

This has got to be the textbook example for “move the thread and give a warning”. Hell, people make much more obvious troll traps in non-RP daily, and those just get moved.

Oh yeah, and this:

making the topic in an incorrect place won’t get you banned, just the topic moved. but the people who fell for the trap can get banned.

Guess what mods say in public can’t be taken as actually rules to live by. Gotta keep us guessing!

I find it a stretch to call it a legitimate question regarding the game, but I don’t think it should have resulted in a ban. I think the thread should have just been moved to the proper forum.

I think it’s game related, but posting ‘I tried to exploit something and it didn’t work’ does seem pointless. Not bannable tho. lol.
