    Since i got again banned for nothing serious again, my character in game has been stuck for like 20 hours and i can't make a thread or new account here.

    Suggestion: Since people have stuck problems and any other kind of problem inside the game or voting problems etc, players cannot post a thread, because they are forum banned, so why don't you take all other threads away from them, like general discussion, feedback etc... But only leave support thread for forum banned users?

    It would be fair, since forum banned users can't make a thread because they got banned for ridiculous reason or any kind of reason.

    Regardless of whether or not your forum ban was justified, this is not a bad idea.

    Also, it'd be nice if people who are forum banned could also still view the 'announcements' thread. That way, if they have to update their game files during their forum ban, they can do so without too much hassle.

    Yeah, it really sucks to be banned for like 10 days and not be able to read forums or simply report a problem or even hackers!

    IMO i would just leave ''announcements'', ''support'' and ''events'' thread for forum banned users.

    Can't say I am opposed the idea, but I do question the need for it, getting banned from the forum is not easy and it's rare someone actually take it so far they do get banned.
    With that said you have no one but yourself to blame if you can't behave decently.

    Since ban evading on the forum is also not allowed this forum account has been permanently banned, I would suggest you don't continue as it will result in longer bans.

    Longer than permanent?

    Also, I've been forum banned once, and it's not always improper behavior that causes it, honestly. Staff members sometimes consider somethin to be trolling, even when it isn't. Those warning points add up pretty quickly, leading to a forum ban when the person in question never meant any harm.

    At least that's my opinion.

    We always post major announcements like that on the home page though. Also Facebook/Twitter.

    His first account is not permanent banned, but this one of course is, he will still be unbanned.
    I would have warned you myself for that post so don't consider that a good example of a wrong doing.

    If a person genuinely didn't mean any harm it's not so difficult to ask for a clarification with the warning and respond to it in the Pm that is sent, I am sure all staff members would reconsider if you are nice about it and there is valid reason to change it.
    When you ignore multiple warnings and just continues it's not surprising that you would be banned.

    Honestly had no idea that those were posted on the home page. I never visit it tbh. Guess that's good enough, then!

    I'm not blaming the staff for anything, just to be clear. I understand that it's sometimes difficult to differentiate between people who are trolling and people who don't mean any harm but don't pay attention to their phrasing (me, for example).

    And yes, you're right. Asking for clarification does sometimes (not always) help.
