72 hour ban ???

Hi, im curious as to whats the least amount of time someone has recived on guildwars, recently i have been banned for 72 hours for saying "gaile you know you guys "****ed up tombs when u guys made it 6v6" after numerious complaints to [email protected] they finally told me the minimum time they ban someone is 72 hours, when i know from previous experince i have had a 24 hour ban on another account, i am just finding out if indeed my 24 hour ban, was a one off? or anet or lieing so i'll stop emailing them, personally i think 72 hour ban for swearing when there is a swear fitler is harsh and seems like i could have been targeted i guess, what does anyone else think, please no flaming for any reason.

I've never been banned, but I remember seeing a couple weeks ago that they're getting harder on people caught swearing. (I think I saw that in a Gaile chat log, but I'm not sure.) Maybe 72 is now the minimum, while it used to be 24?

@ lol at your please no flaming comment given the context.

Hope the 3 days go by quick for you,
Luny

that's three days of winterfest you're gonna miss... play it smart next time.

nah bruv, i ve been banned for 180 hours (7days) or so before or 170 cant remember exactly, a mate of mine just got banned for 3 weeks LOL.

Its all good dont worry about it

Honestly, if there's a swear filter, then you shoudn't get banned for swearing unless you were intentionally circumventing the swear filter.

Using "u" in place of "you" however, should warrant such a ban.

If you swear and insult the powers that be, what do you expect? Youre lucky it was but a 3 day ban. Next time it might be perma. Use your head.

naw, theres like 3million levels of bans before your perma-banned for stupid stuff. Only Botting and such get quick permabans.

"when i know from previous experince i have had a 24 hour ban on another account"



What a gem of a quote. Sounds like the problem is yours not anyone else's. I wouldnt say you are being targeted, but if you are you painted the bullseye on your own chest. Watch your language and you shouldnt have a problem.

I completely agree with goat.

People shoudl also get suspensions for using "ne1" intead of "anyone" and any other retarded shortcut to save time in typing.

ne1 n33d p4m?

WTF? Speak english please??

In response to PaddyPower, your temporary ban / suspension is temporary and unless you do whtever you do to warrant it repeatedly and continualy need to have your account suspended then I doubt you'll ever recieve a permanent ban, so don't worry.

Some people think Anet doesn't issue permanent account bans but they do. And anyone who does get one is doing something serious which is clearly in violation of the EULA.

The bottom line is: don't do stupid crap you know for a fact can get you banned. Maybe you were banned for hostile harassment and not simply "swearing".

Just accept that you were banned for 72 hours, regardless of what the minimum ban may be or what support has told you.

3 days will go by and then something worthwhile in winterfest will happen, all of the collectors will show up.

In-game Infractions

The following will result in an account mark (suspension) or an account termination, depending upon the severity of the matter:


* Inappropriate in-game behavior – such as obscene, offensive, or racist talk or behavior, abuse of another player, or harassment.

* o Selling or buying a Guild Wars account, in-game item, or gold for real-world currency; selling a Guild Wars account for in-game currency; aiding others in such transactions, or advertising the intent to commit such acts.

* Selling services of any kind—including such things as "runs" through portions of the game—for real-world currency.

* Repeating in-game chat to an excessive degree ("spamming").

* In-game linking to inappropriate sites, including those offering bots, macros, or other third-party programs, or those selling or buying accounts, items, or in-game gold.

* Taking advantage of another player ("scamming") in order to take his/her items or account.

* Accessing another player's account in order to take or delete characters or items.

* Abusing game exploits.

* Advertising cheats, hacks, and exploits

* Using, developing, releasing or promoting a "bot" program

apparently offering cybering services is either obscene or offensive... eh w/e I still got other accounts onion routed just in-case they ipban as well.

Gaile said before the punishment increases, so it might start at 24 hours, but since you already had one of those the minimum next ban would be 72.

^ my 1st offense over 2 years

actually i had a 24 hour ban on my orginal account, and i type briefly if you have a problem with me using "u" instead of "you" then you have problems your self, i said no flaming so keep that stuff to your self it was just to see what other players had to say, no need to come in here and start sounding high and mighty by pointing out how i type. anyway thanks for replys guys, the minimum ban must be 72 hours since this account has never been banned. thanks - power

i have other accounts my self also ^^ its just not like playing on main account lol, im sure you understand, anyway thanks again

Actually, stuff like using "u" instead of "you" is against the gwguru rules; pointing it out isn't flaming. Obviously he doesn't just have problems with himself as it is clearly enumerated in the rules since most people are annoyed by it.

Cyber prostitution got you banned?

Filters are great, but most of the idiots who want to be heard know how to bypass this feature ("intentionally circumventing" examples: Crap - C r a p, C4ap, Cr*ap). Moreover, they probably have their filter turned on and know how to get words to bypass the filter rule. Those who violate the rules need not complain ... Just enjoy the cursory sabbatical.

Think before you talk. If I worked at ANet and you sweared at me, I'd ban you, too. And frankly, I'm glad there's bans on people that swear in-game. It keeps all the people that try to look cool by cursing off the servers from playing as much.

*Ahem* - "Actually, I had a 24 hour ban on my original account. Also, I type briefly - if you have a problem with me using "u" instead of "you", then you have problems yourself. I said no flaming, so keep that stuff to yourself, it was just to see what other players had to say. There's no need to come in here and start sounding all high and mighty by pointing out how I type."

Sentences are your friends. This translation has been a public service for People who have difficulty reading enormous run-on sentences.

How could you think that offering cybering services is neither obscene or offensive? Also, remember that not many organisations take kindly to people evading their bans. I'm pretty sure that's against anet's rules too.
