i just resubbed.

chatting in zone. someone says i made an ignorant statement. i say they are ignorant.

next instant i am SILENCED for 24 hours. cant talk to anyone.

no warning, no notice that what im doing is wrong and if i continue then i will be silenced. straight out.

serious punishment for calling someone ignorant. but i think its more the fact i was saying that the ship system is rubbish compared to eve online because classes are useless as you progress to end game. ships have no roles, only more of everything as you progress.

ill be getting back the money i paid, or ill be putting a stop on my credit card.

cause that is ludicrous, struggling to get people to resub and you silencing people without even so much as a moderator warning?

seriously just **** you cryptic.

    To ensure that Star Trek Online is a fun, fair, and safe environment, there are a few basic guidelines that all users are required to abide by in-game when communicating with other players.
    In-Game Chat May Not Contain:

    * Language which may be considered offensive to any real-world demographics, including race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, and ethnicity
    * Reference to extreme or violent sexual acts
    * Profanity or inappropriate language
    * References to participation in illegal real world activities (i.e. drugs, violence)
    * Advertisements for real-world products or websites
    * Spamming
    * Real life information regarding another user (address, phone number, real name, etc)
    * Intent to scam another player

    While playing Star Trek Online it is against the game policy to intentionally disrupt the game play of other players.
    While Playing Star Trek Online You May Not:

    * Block Mobs, Doors, Node, Etc
    * Spam excessive effects
    * Interfere with player-run events
    * Interfere with player gatherings
    * Intentionally exploit game bugs
    * Utilize third-party programs to automate unattended game-play
    * Disobey instructions given by a Cryptic Game Master

    If characters are found in violation of this policy it may lead to disciplinary actions against the offending account. This could include suspension from the game or possibly account termination.

    It probably was someone right clicking your name and reporting you.

    i did not violate any of those rules and still received no warning of anything.

    players are able to silence other players now?

    the only bad thing in the entire brief exchange was use of the word ignorant.

    They always have been able to. People said it's been improved, but I wouldn't know since I always have Zone chat off.

    "Report Spam" is designed for silencing goldspammers, some people just abuse it. Most likely that's what happened, it's not the GMs who did it, don't blame them, if 10 people report you as a spammer, you are automatically silenced for 24 hours, if you're too impatient to wait a day, just PM one of the GMs about it, if you ask nicely and explain what happened, they'll probably lift the ban right away, although this rant post probably wont help.

    wow so if you talk stuff people dont want to hear they just report you as spammer.

    so you mean the no warning thing is because it was an automated silencing then.

    especially if a guy is in a fleet he can get his fleet people to do it, now how do i PM A GM?

    i cant PM a GM because the account has been restricted from sending mail.

    i seriously would like my money back this is absurd. what a real downer after i was really looking forward to trying the new content, i mean i paid just to try it out again.

    calm down a minute ok, this certainly isn't helping!

    Find a name with a "GM_" next to it on the forum, those are the GMs, click the "Private Messages:" link in the corner under your username, and click compose.

    Judging by your repeated posts in this thread, I'm not surprised you were reported.

    edit: post ninja'd
    if you can't PM them through the forum, send an Email to the address in their profile.

    ummm. saying things people don't want to hear is kind of a definition of spam, so if you've ****ed off ten people enough in one twenty four hour period that they all reported you as spamming, maybe you should take the hint and say ridiculous things in zone chat.

    um, i am posting alot to bring attention to my plight, to having just resubbed, done nothing against the rules and now i cant play.

    a technicality in the report system caused this.

    reporting me as a spammer is not justified or correct and people should be warned/banned from doing that, if i was bothering someone, then they should IGNORE me, add me to their ignore list.

    reporting me as a spammer is a griefing maneuver against me, and it has destroyed my return experience. so i think it justifies the anger.

    dude, stop making stupid threads linking to your other thread rants...what you are doing is called trolling, or spamming and it's why you got banned for 24 hours from STO...relax, it's just a game, go do something else for a while.

    see my above post.

    if i am saying things people dont agree with, it is not the function of the report spammer button, that is the function of the ignore button, and they should be banned for using it that way.

    i wasnt spamming as in gibberish, or spamming gold spamming.

    so they are wrong.

    first of all, why are you using two or more posts to explain yourself when one would do? Second, the ignore button in STO frequently reports the person you use it on, that's the way it works in this game. My advice is to just not use zone chat anymore.

    Say things in PST's or don't say anything at all.

    technically you are right, they are taking advantage of the report spam function, either maliciously, or ignorantly, and if you ask to get the ban retracted, cryptic has said they will punish those responsible.

    But seriously, the ban will be lifted tomorrow anyway, stop complaining, it's not that bad.

    i didnt get banned, people use report spammer because i said something they didnt like.

    anyway i have nothing else to do which is why i resubbed.

    and in a twist of events will be unsubbed soon and refunded.

    so just because you cant talk why do you think you deserve a refund?

    because then you cant arrange groups for playing the game.

    and people grieved me by using a function other than for its intended use.

    it is bad, how would you feel if you had just paid 30 dollars to play again, and then cant play?

    Look what ever you said offended more then one person. ( I'm not sure how many is needed ) if it was wrongful then send a mail to a GM. give them the time when it happened, they can find out if you did something wrong.

    also your ban is gone tomorrow, calm down, go for a walk, or do something because you are freaking out over something that is not that big of a deal.
