Ya know that's petty and you're really wrong for that.

    You were asking a question about how to violate the game's Terms of Service, AND violating forum rules while explaining why you were asking.



    But I didn't know asking about it was going to get me banned!
    I said if it was not appropriate for the forum I wouldn't do anything about it. I figured you would answer the question and either tell me how or remove the post. I'm not psychic! Do you really think I deserve a permanent ban for asking if it's ok to ask the question even? I think that's petty and wrong. WAY WAY overboard!

    I'm only frustrated that a years old bug can't get removed that's all!

    Come on that's too much!

    Well I didn't know that.
    Everything about the post was based on what the rules were....
    I was basically asking what the rules were and explaining what I wanted to do.
    I wasn't actively trying to sell unless it was ok. And the post said so. I DIDN'T KNOW.
    I didn't even know where to look!
    I had just started to think about it and I thought where better to ask about it than on the forum. WOW!
    I always wanted to reserve the right to take a break instead until its fixed.

    Well before it is let me at least admit I guess I'm starting to wish I had your common sense. Fair at least?

    First of all, I am not game staff nor a forum mod, but....

    Your post was removed and the thread locked, and a moderator said why. I saw the post before it was removed. You were effectively advertising your account for sale because you were quitting. The TOS bans selling of accounts, and forum rules prohibit "I quit!" rants.

    I'm guessing the account ban is to prevent you actually selling the account.

    Forum rules also prohibit discussing bans. I know you know that. ^^

    I really don't know anything about the forums that's why I was asking. I really just thought it might move along a bug fix.

    I haven't been to a lot of forums before and this one even less, but I guess I'm used to being able to say whatever I wanted at other forums as long as no one's too rude. If you can't tell I was just frustrated about the UI bug and running my mouth/fingers, something's wrong. I really mean that about everyone here. You can tell I was just bchn about the UI bug.

    What I was suggesting but not serious about is something I actually thought might be a legit and ok thing to do. The post was ALWAYS seeking approval first and I think that's clear.
    Most companies act concerned when you tell them you're leaving because they don't really want you to. This is the first time this has ever happened to me by any company anywhere my entire life. Who knew they'd just be like 'TRIBBLE ya' and cut ya loose. I really didn't.

    No one actually even answered the question and verified it even was a TOS issue until AFTER the account was banned. If they had just told me that's seen as shady to even consider it at all that would have been the end of it. I was never ACTUALLY going to do that anyway!

    I had only just thought to write all that spur of the moment being emotional about the bug. Again if anyone can't see that it's obvious that's what is was and that I clearly do care about the account, then I just can't understand that and I don't believe it.

    I actually spent a lot of every day playing STO they can see that. I really didn't know even just suggesting something on the forum could be so much trouble.

    Trying to sell your account violates the game's Terms of Service. You're in Cryptic's house, you play by Cryptic's rules or we kick you out. /Thread

    (And, I mean, you were the one who wanted to quit, weren't you?)
