Dont know but my friend just got 24 hours ban and his character ranemed ...for naming that toon Geko ...thats it geko ...4 letters.
Someone would have reported him for pretending to be a dev, which is against the TOS.
We had something similar but different a few years ago, where someone would pass themselves off as a STO dev. He'd get banned, make a new account and get banned again.
You accuse others of trollling, and then post this?
Sorry to dissapoint, but school ended for me many many years ago, as did college and university. Some of us here are adults, with families etc you know. lol
Yes, I quite agree that this thread is a waste of space on the internet. The sooner one of the mods closes it the better, given the quantity of TOS violations it contains.
Having a character named Geko is not impersonating a GM/Dev. Even in chat it is obvious who is and does not work for PWE/Cryptic, because it is clearly marked when they chat in game and on the forums. If people are just being ban for the name alone then someone at PWE/Cryptic just has an ego problem.
Saying you are a Dev/GM and doing stupid stuff pretending to be a them then that would be a problem, but someone would have to be naive or stupid to fall for it.

They don't put personal information in the header of the email. It reads:
Terms of Service Violation (then the violation) Flaming/Trolling, or obscene/vulgar material, or hate speech, or whatever violation he's being punished.
And that is the part the OP has conveniently blacked out so no one can see what the real reason for the ban is.
clearly you know nothing about mails and never got a mail from PWE but you talk just for the sake of it.
Well at least none of the devs use the nicknames "Jim, John, Jack, Stan, Peter, Tom, Ted" or we would be in trouble!
Still, they got resources to police names, but not to fix bugs. Pathetic!
There's a lack of evidence to actually form an opinion of this sort. The only evidence submitted been a post on a forum from somebody going "they did this!".
By the by, however, Devs who can fix bugs are not always the same person as a GM responsible for policing the game. Comparing the 2 is akin to ranting that a policeman wont fix your leaking water tank...

No it is not, for both are hired from the same pool of money.
So it is more like ranting that the goverment has enough money for a big load of policemen, but has no plumbers, when plumbers are sorely needed and sewage is filling the streets.
Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"

This nonsense is STILL going on?! Who let this get to over 40 pages?! Are the Mods sleeping? Someone go poke one of them with a stick and get them to wake up.

It's just like THX-1138.
They spent their budget on policing names, so now there is no money left for policing the forums. Obviously.
I said it on the internet, therefore it must be true.
Budgie! Is it really you?!?!
Sorry, but posting this is about as worthwhile as anything else that could be posted in this thread.;) Not counting of course one of the mods or devs posting "Thread closed!".
They subside on nutrient broth produced from the processed brains of banned forumgoers...... on a connected note they are suffering from severe malnutrition and we are putting together a food drive for them.
I saw a couple of characters on ESD this morning running around with the names "Captain Geko" and "Captain Gecko" and was wondering what was up. Then I saw this thread and now I know. Well, good luck with...whatever it is you're trying to do. I think.

In other words, a titanic waste of time and a hive of stupid.

TOS/EULA are useless articles to pseudo cover craptic from any wrong doing :P
No shortage of that in the game.
Fixed that for you.
Good point.

My time on STO has taught me whatever is going on, you're the one really behind it.
