ok so as a Lifetime member who dumps Hundreds of dollars into this game I ask why I was muted for 24 hours just five minutes ago for saying 3 TIMES 3 selling a key for 100g not in a row even, why because a handful of people ignored that I get marked as silenced? you don't believe me then pull up the record of everything I've said. As a paying member I will not only submit a ticket to this but also am asking for a direct reason here in these boards, I was having a great time drinking talking to my friends and this happens on my friday night after a week of work.

Good luck. You're not alone in this.

You could say that they don't care. Nothing proving opposite.
Theres no moderating for the reports.
And be warned, it won't be last time you get muted. Eventually it will happen again. And again.

Laws yes!
10 months now of nothing...not even support in/out of game unless its a billing enquiry.
Care about your money a lot, but caring about the hand that feeds them? Nah
sucks for them I'm a spiteful intelligent person @_@ but I'm doing everything in my power to "quell my urge" to bring them back to the basics, it won't hurt pwe in the long run but would cut cryptic in half (seeing as the other half is star trek) and sure they could recover from it and I even want them to, but I think they need a trial by fire. but yes I'll hold back from doing anything that could hurt them... mainly due to the upbeat tune of the michael buble song that randomly just came on
It needs to be changed for sure, and I honestly believe Trailturtle is aware of this.

We need to convince which ever dev felt it was a good idea to 'hard code' something like this into their chat system, and then do some corner cutting by incorporating that same chat system into all their games.
This is something that needs to be changed regardless of pride or whatever it is that is preventing them from working on this, I very much doubt they would incorporate something in a way that altering it would break the engine/game, that would be a very foolish thing to do.
Players should never have this kind of control or power over others, for any reason. It shows a lack of foresight and a poor understanding of reality. The report spam and ignore functions should act the exact same way it acts in nearly every other game.
The report spam sends a report to a GM, which then gets entered into a queue of tickets that GMs read through one by one. The person who is being reported of spamming should go on the reportees ignore list temporarily and that is it. The ignore function should only act to put that person on the ignore list. There should be no automated 24 hr chatban system. Unfortunately should is a funny word, and not everything works as it should.

Occam's Razor makes the cutting clean.
Oooh, I like this idea.

Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
It is cute, though, that the OP believes he can "demand" the attention of a dev by posting in the Forums. Really, it is.

It's a terrible idea to mention, but it would get results. And quickly.

That's the only version of the story we need. If the costumer in question was rude, "trolling", or otherwise breaking the ToS and required disciplinary action, that's between that costumer and the company (or more precisely a representative of that company), not between the costumer and the other costumers.
*unless it was adequately determined by a Cryptic employee charged with game moderation that the costumer was in fact breaking the ToS and disciplinary action was required to deal with them
*Waits for Flare or Agent to come in and start to reprimand in*
1... 2... 3... GO!
If by results you mean banned accounts.
I honestly don't think anything will get changed, barring griefer guilds wreaking havoc at Neverwinter.
Considering how intoxicated I was, my spelling and grammar were naturally going to be sub-par, as for my spelling and grammar, its a video game forum, not a place to be judged by "English enthusiasts" if I wanted that I'd go write to an English professor about my views on something. as far as what really happened, yes, I was talking to Ethan my friend in team chat about changing my build, purchased a key said three times selling key for 100g and then ended up silenced. because of it, Of course I have nothing to prove, I just don't like being "labeled falsely" but clearly based upon the way you say "cute" and such leads me to believe that you have this huge elitist outlook on life. and that me saying anything to you is irrelevant because you believe that society has a ranking system of some sort in which you are above me. luckily I don't come here often enough to deal with you.
Edit: (as not to double post) another thing is when I buy a product, I better be capable of using words like demand, because its something I'm dedicating my money to, as well as something far more valuable than money... my time. and since that's a limited commodity you should be capable of grasping my frustration. And we all know "please help me dev" isn't getting anyone's attention you want true results you demand them. They may not come in a tidy little package but in time they will come. barring for times when they simply never "check the forums" defending their wrong behavior some strange reason is why things don't better.
What if the OP was chat banned by someone who was trying to sell keys for more than the OP was asking. Instead of trying to undercut the competition, they just removed it for 24 hours...
If so, not only is the chat ban system used for griefing, it's being used to manipulate the free trade market of the game...

which is possible cause while I was selling one someone else was selling 6 (right after I started) hmmm wow... I'll try not to think on that or point fingers when I don't know for sure
I agree, we should totally break the ToS and prevent the chance for even more communication in order to get them to communicate with us and solve the issue of people breaking the ToS.
/sarcasm
I understand all of your guys' butthurt. I've been chat banned more that most of you, but being hypocrites will get us no where. If Emmert plays STO, have you thought of just talking to him? And by that I mean, having someone who isn't going to verbally put him on a cross. Someone just to chit chat, bring up the issue, and express how serious and how many have been monetarily and socially hurt by it?

It only took 4 posts. Nicely done :biggrin:
whats his @ tag if you know it just pm it to me, I'll talk to him, I just got out of the military, and know how to talk to people as men, who knows we may end up becoming friends.
Your best bet is to ask the kids over at the star trek forums. I'm pretty sure his tag is common knowledge by now.
Although, if this was last night, there was a specific person who spammed like 5 times in a row, then every 10 seconds or so. Even I put em on ignore. If that was you, that might have been why. If not? Understand that some people have a very low tolerance for that, because SO MANY PEOPLE DO IT. Half of zone anymore is key spam, it's getting a bit out of hand. And, I mean, global communication's what zone is for, but just the same. Fun police. You got pulled over.
The bit that is really vexing is that you can't put players on ignore without a potential chat mute. And yeah, I could just not pay attention, but there are times it gets tempting with the key spam. Can't even see the chat for it, sometimes. That's when I go to Talkytalk.

This is exactly what it was.. I thought this was commonly known.
It needs to be known by Trailturtle and everyone at Crypic because it's technically both harassment and exploiting.
This SG is my fault but now long ago out of my hands and my control. I started it when the chat banning started to get out of hand, thinking enough people complaining about it would bring about change.
How wrong I was. I thought hey not unlike the axis powers of WWII, the SG would become a villain for the community to rally against. And in time see driven to destruction.
Now the SG is a dark force of negativity. Its ranks filled by the bitter, cynical, and heart broken. Those who once dreamed of CO reaching the greatest heights now conspire to see it torn down to the stone upon which the foundation is built.
What happens to a hero who loses hope? They turn to the shadow and strive to take the hope of others.
In the end CO once bred heroes, now it breeds villains. Kind of like the real detroit.
I'm sorry, it seems my melodramatic filter is broken. Would you mind reiterating that and not laying it on as thick this time?
The message: He claims he helped start a SG devoted to chat-banning people and is now upset that the SG is chat-banning people.
The melodrama: Much to his horror, he has discovered that he has become the very thing he always was.
Is that close?
