Didn't use it directly, ended up using the words is all, I said how wrong it was when some guy was saying how right it was, then next I know it I am in jail, a GM is talking to me saying that pedophillia is illegal, and I get banned.So did I deserve this?
I said that Kiddy Porn is wrong, is basaclly all I had said....
"P.S. so this is pedophillia according to EA? How is saying that considered pedophillia? Explanation?"

#########################

lol, EA's blanket policy @ its best... it doesnt matter in what context u used it wether promotind or condeming it, theyll both get ya banned

#########################

Good god.

(Can I say that? If I do, must I capitalize?)

What utter crap.

#########################

*rolls eyes*

Bestiality is illegal too... what about the teenagers who stayed in daemon form at Luna bank for a good half hour after the polymorph timer was removed, making innapropriate thrusting motions?

Jeez, dont you love political correctnes.

[/sarcasm]

#########################

Well I got an e-mail back, and my 5 year account, with like 50 million worth of goodies, is perma banned... Guess this is quits for me, time to go play Darkfall or WoW..

#########################

If that is all you said, that it is wrong then I say this... don't you dare give up!

Email Wilki please.

#########################

Send them an email asking them to review the incident, be polite. Don't bombard them with an email a day or threaten to sue or anything like that. Hopefully it will get rectified, good luck. =/

Actually, I believe the exact quote is, "I am not disrespecting you, and I am not apart of your little kiddy porn alliance either.. "
That combined with your previous mark for using the N word is what led to your account being closed.

And no, please don't email me.

#########################

I'm not sure what part of the TOS keeps you from saying kiddie porn in that context.

I dunno about you, but I'd sure consider it defamatory if someone implied I was involved with pedophilia somehow. I'd also make an arguement that someone saying that was being abusive and objectionable as well.

Racist garbage and implying someone is involved in pedophillia have no place in UO, sorry.

And it's grown just a little old to read these "poor me, I was banned for nothing!" posts when what is claimed to have happened is far from what actually was recorded as being said or done. I guess people don't realize that we can see what was said long after it has scrolled out of the journal, so context is very easy to determine.

Anyhow, I just didn't want to wake up tomorrow morning with a 100 post thread about how GM's suck and EA is the bad guy because someone decided to play the "poor me" card while twisting the story.

*waves goodnight*

*three cheers for Wilki!*

Thanks for clearing this up. Putting the lock on this thread as it really has no place in Stratics either.

Its amazing how these people think they can 'trivialise what they do/ say and get all indignant,post half a story and then complain.

Back fired on the guy twice it seems..:/

Well, he was a bit stupid and deserved it !!!. However, EA will always be the bad guy no matter what happens. EA is weird choosing what is bannable and what is not. I've been called both the N word a multiply times among other racistic remarks, reported it yet nothing had happened and the abuse continued. Always nice to see some of the bad seed get sorted out though

Ally

Wasn't it said somewhere that they look at the journal for what happened 10 minutes before and after a page?

Yes Ally,I know this as I once reported someone about 3 yrs ago, but said to the GM when he arrived,that the guy had stopped now.I was told the loggs would be looked at and as I waited the guy went 'poof' in front of my eyes.
The log was indeed checked and when i asked where the guy had gone ,was told his character was now 'imprisoned' till his ban was over .
No idea where that was though
So I didnt get to throw rotten apples at him

I have commented on this type post before. you never here the whole story just the poor me stuff.

I have always thought it funny that people don't realize that what you type in game is still accessible and time coded 10/19/06 11:03:40 AM

Actually, I guess I feel this one should have been left over on uHall where they routinely have issues such as these. I didn't comment on the post when I read it there.
