    impersonate

    helpful link above since a lot of people don't seem to understand the word impersonate.
    just using a name is not an impersonation. acting as if you are the person of the name or title you are using is.

    pretty damn simple.

    You do realize it's against the EULA to impersonate a GM/DEV, yes? Not that this is happening - but I'll wager that is the reason behind the banning.

    I understand that the 24 hour ban/renaming of toons merely because they have the name Geko makes about a smuch sense as my wanting to force everyone else in the world to change their name from 'Robert' but still... their game, their rules.

    You know I can't help but wonder if anyone ever reads EULA then they might realize how stupid making posts like this actually make them look... God you guys wonder whether devs don't come here you people are really for yourselves... You're lucky it's not me because it was my fourms all of you would be banned I don't care whether that's like or not I would ban you all just for the TRIBBLE and the amount of doom and annoying little crying that you guys do on here you will all be banned... Seriously it's an old tried and true question if it's so bad it cause you so much angst in the devs mess up so much in the game was such a joke why in the hell are you here just uninstall and go the hell away your problem is solved no more tears for you there problem is solved no more hearing you cry about it while not just it everything everything you people cry about everything that's going to cry because you had to get up in the morning and blame that on cryptic too Christ you people worse in the #gamergate crowd and thats saying somthing

    Yes, be a bunch of dumbasses and rename all your characters. Please do. I could use a whole day without moronic players getting in the way. Seriously, you ****tards are killing the game just as bad as cryptic is.

    yes because having a toon named Geko makes you a dumbass but wating people to be banned of for that and calling them ****tards wont make you a dumbass.

    lol, if someone got banned for using the name geko that would be really pathetic, just 24 hours or a perma doesnt matter.

    What if the person in question just admires a dev, or didnt read the EULA, or perhaps it was just a coincidence.

    Btw isnt geko some reptilian creature? it is here in the dutch!

    If it annoys you so much, why are you here in this thread posting? Just ignore it or maybe you like coming to the forums.... No, that would be too perverse.

    This entire threat reeks of a massive pile of wet, hot, steaming troll poo.

    Of course they don't read them. And because they don't, they feel the rules don't apply to them and whine when they get pwnd for it by the devs.

    here's the hilarious part, if these were your forums that would mean this was your game, and only some one who wants to completely fail at keeping a f2p mmo alive would ban people just because they don't like what they say.

    word of advice...never ever go into business where you rely on customers. with your attitude it would last all of a week before you'd be bankrupt.

    another note, telling people to leave a game that's already hemmoraging...doesn't help cryptic you pakled, it hurts them. some people are just abysmally stupid no common sense whatsoever:rolleyes:

    We made both. Even have the stuff to make a plate of nachos if that sounds better. :D


    Also, I support renaming your characters. All that money going into renaming your characters (TWICE!) will help Cryptic make sales for the Quarter.

    Nope.

    I, as have many here, have modded for F2P forums in the past - as volunteers, not employed by or have any owership in the company behind the games.

    And, for the record, if I were a mod, ths thread would have been closed for inciting a flame war before it made page 3...

    From the PWE EULA:


    Like I said, not that this is actually happening, but I’ll bet this is why they are forcing a name change.

    Oh, and your post encouraging others to change their names? Ya, that’s in the EULA as well:



    Congratulations, you are no longer ignorant of the rules.

    I laughed so hard at this.. there goes the 1 excuse, besides stupidity, that the OP can call upon in his/her defense.. +1 EULA'Foo

    guess what? you get banned it has to be approved by crptic if you're just a volunteer, if it's over BS it will be reversed...so what kind of point were you trying to make exactly?

    he said if these forums were his, and that he had the right to ban whomever...lrn2read. not that he was a volunteer, not that he was hired to mod the forums, but that he would have the absolute right to do whatever he wanted.

    a bit clearer for you now?

    They should have locked "Geko" as a name, and variation around. Same for others devs name, at least the one we heard about (Taco, Smirk...).

    Getting a ban for naming is character Geko is dumb. A name change, that's another thing.
    Maybe he never heard of the dev, and if you never go to the forum, you have no way to know.
    As people said, it's a small lizard name....

    It was not even offensive...

    It's also against the EULA and or foreum rules to post links to illicit content or may cause harm. Only and idiot would click on a random link that another idiot posted.

    Post the TEXT, not the link.

    First I don't think so just so you know this game made net $21.6 million so despite what you people may want this game isn't going anywhere and evidently they must be doing something right second you only make up a small portion of the people that play this game I know that may bruise your ego but there's a lot of people that play this game that don't come anywhere near these forms so yeah I think I'll do just fine and don't go into business where i rely on customers? with customers like you I would rather go out of business honestly... when a game makes that much money and you think that you're the majority and you're clearly not electronic arts has for the third year in a row been judged the worst company and customer service on the planet yet they grossed millions of dollars and continue to make tons of money do you know why? Because just like this place here there are tons of douche bags that hang out here and complain and think they are the majority and they are not so your actual folly is thinking that some we can ignore their customers and be out of business within a week when that's clearly not true also they're not ignoring their customers to just ignore the customers that overly complain and whine all the time with there elitist attitude and pompous ideas of entitlement granted this company's done a lot of things that I don't like but honestly at some point you have to draw the line "this far and no further" because some of you have crossed the line there is no reason for the way that you act and some of the things to say in these forums these people are human beings and at least give them some type of respect honestly I think some of you people need to step back and take a look at yourself in the mirror this is a videogame first and foremost no matter what you may think it is a videogame and for some of the venom that you spit at these people you are disgusting human beings who need to check your self
