The date of your ban.
10/08/2016



Member of the team that banned you.
Greg



Reason given for your ban.
"Combat logg, Escape into GZ"



The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1



In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
I was banned for having connection issues. I was in the green zone already, I had disconnected multiple times during a short session, all of them in Kavala or near there, none of which were even in combat. I think the only time I was interacting with someone during these disconnects was during a civil discussion with police, involving no weapons in Kavala.



Why should we unban you ?
I did nothing wrong and I was always in the Kavala area I never combat logged to "escape" there. Also, to be honest, banning someone permanently without checking the reason why they left the server is pretty poor administration. it would of said something like "signature check time out" every time as the reason I left afterall

We work on a 'ban first ask questions later' policy. It saves time and resources, and ensures any potential threats to our communities experience are minimised.

Also, it is very common for people to combat log using a signature check timeout, so seeing this does not exempt any bans.

If you are prone to having connection issues I suggest you have a contingency in place should it happen at a worse time.

What should you do if you are disconnected during RP?

Doesn't change the fact I wasn't even in combat during any point I had a signature check timeout, was I banned purely for timing out a couple of times? Will I be unbanned?

I would love to unban you but you aren't making it easy...

It what way am I making it uneasy? My ban reason was "Combat logg, Escape in GZ"

I was in Kavala so I was not escaping to there and I never combat logged, are you saying that you're banning me purely for having momentary connection issues?

What should you do if you are disconnected during RP?

New life rule? I'm open to suggestions if you have any...

You are making it difficult by not answering a very simple question.

As it stands, in effect, yes, I am perm banning you for connection issues. It has happened before, and after a quick chat in the unban appeal the player was unbanned (once staff were satisfied that should it happen again, they were prepared to handle it properly).

Now, it seems you are prone to having connection issues. Disconnecting at random can cause problems in a serious RP server, and when it happens frequently to the same individual we like to ensure they know what we expect them to do if such a thing should happen at a less than opportune moment. Hence the line of questioning. Do you see where I am coming from?

So I'll rephrase the question. What do you think you should do if you get disconnected while in the middle of an RP situation?

By prone to happening during one single play session?

What do I think I should do? Well going by rules is says:

[SIZE=medium]We do suggest you attempt to rejoin the server and continue the roleplay (try messaging them with the mobile system first).[/SIZE]

but if I never caught the name of the people in question or cannot contact them then I assume act as the encounter never happened.

If that ain't the answer you're looking for you could always just y'know say the right course of action, it would make more sense to simply provide the information.

 

[DainMK]

By 'prone' I mean:

I had disconnected multiple times 

Multiple times suggests you are prone to it. Just going on what you tell me.

Regarding what you should do, you hit the nail on the head. Attempt to rejoin the server and continue RP if possible. However - if you are involved in a more serious incident we suggest you contact either the individuals involved, or a find Member Support on ts to let them know you were disconnected, and did not in fact combat log. If you do not do this, you will likely be banned for combat logging and you will not be unbanned as this is considered exploiting.

As far as why you were banned, all I have to go on is the note left by the banning Admin. "Possibly not knowing everything yet only been here one week so maybe have some slack on him. combat log possibly but may be legit, seemed too coincidental for him to go as i start to talk to him." So it sounds like you ran into a green zone when being approached by an officer, and as they engage you in conversation (potentially with the intention of detaining you), you disconnected. Actions like this have the hallmark of combat logging, thus, you were banned for combat logging.

I hope this answers your questions.

Before I unban you I suggest you take this opportunity to ask any other questions you have regarding the rules you were banned for. If you have none, please confirm you are now clear on the rules, and know how to act going forward.

Thanks

"Possibly not knowing everything yet only been here one week so maybe have some slack on him. combat log possibly but may be legit, seemed too coincidental for him to go as i start to talk to him."

I did suspect it due to the police encounter seeing as it was the only one where I was kicked when talking to anyone but I wasn't being chased or arrested, although we were in mid-conversation rather than just starting.


I have no questions about the rules, clear on the rules, checked them over again after the banned occurred and I know how to act going forward, saying so in the previous comment, thanks.



 

 

[Dayth]

Can I get unbanned now or is there more hoops I need to jump through?

 

[DainMK]

Nope, that's all the hoops for now.

Just make sure you contact Member Support (or the individuals involved) if you do suffer a disconnect at a bad time, and you likely won't have to go through this again.

Thanks
