Is it true multiple small bans can lead to a perm ban? How long is a racism ban usually for? Spamming?
My first ban ever was for 2 weeks. It seems unfair IMO. The wiki states a few hours to a few days, not 2 weeks.

It should be permanent.
Ignorant and intolerant racists shouldn't be allowed to play online games.
PERIOD!

Would you tell us what you were suspended for? Otherwise, can't really judge whether you were treated reasonably.
A buddy of mine was suspended for 48 hours for an offensive character name. Upon returning, he was forced to change the character name or they would delete the character for him. I thought that was pretty fair, considering they let him keep the character.
Regarding racism... I wouldn't agree that it should be automatically permanent ban. There are times when someone says something they shouldn't, using bad judgment, and a temporary ban fits the situation. There are other times, when someone is being malicious and purposeful. In those situations I would completely agree with a permanent ban.

yes its true multiple small bans can lead to a perma ban, but you can do things so harsh they will perma ban you your first time (botting,trying hack come to mind)
Bad character names bring in 48-72 hour bans some longer for repeat offenders.
Trying to impersonate any Anet personel will result in a ban.
you got a 2 week ban Hmmmmm. How many people did you piss off.
Here is a tip, No matter how mad people make you dont spam racest or rude comments over local chat. (many people SS and report) or /report for spam.
Try not to Pm someone to yell at them as they can/will SS the conversation and report you after so many reports Anet can not look the other way.
If it was a wrongful ban you can contact support and have them review it.
But if you did something to anger or cause grief to others you got what was coming to you

Ahhh I just got a 72 hour ban for language, but I think some people took it the wrong way.
Some person was wondering why words showed up as ****'s, so I told he had his language filter on, then went on jokingly demonstrating it at him.
Oh well, was funny. He said "lol" and another random person said "bravo!"
Then bannage
Guess I know that theres prissy people in the world now : D

A friend of mine got banned like 3 times for calling people bad names like saying standard bad things bout their families. The lengths was standard 3 days. These banns occured like 2 months after each other and the first one was like 1 year ago.
About 2 moths ago he received a perma bann. That was because he talked with someone who was selling gw accounts.
So im not sure if the perma bann was because it involved yccount sales or because the earlier banns. earlier banns wile be taken as ´marks´ and can influence the next bann length.
This is some bann lengths players experience, maybe anyone else knows more bout the marks , because i got banned 2 times for inapropriiate languag aswell.

"Your Momma" jokes are either really, really stupid or just rude.
On-Topic: Please tell us the reason why you were banned. If you can't tell us that small piece of information, then I'm afraid me [and others] cannot help you in the proper way.

Since he's asking about how long people are banned for racist remarks I assume that is what he did. If that is the case, the OP is an idiot for whining about the punishment when he should have never committed the offense. Play less video games and educate yourself. the world doesn't need any more intolerant, racist scum.

Take the length of time up with support if you are unhappy about it. No-one here can help or do anything constructive about it and will only sympathise or flame you.
Don't expect sweetness and light here.
I smell a troll.

Racist-based bans can go up to 2 weeks to even a month if I believe.

If you were banned from racist comments, then I hope you never come back to this game. Racism is pointless and whoever does it, is an idiot who needs to stop what there doing and think about what their saying.
Take this message as a tip to help you in the future.

Ok...I understand a ban for racism (after all, I'm black). But seriously...some of you guys are offended by Yo Momma jokes? How old do you have to be to still get offended by those?
Baratus
I have seen some of the most retarded crap ever in Guild Wars. People offended by such dumb things, such as the "Yo Mama" stuff. People talking such trash and filth that it amazes me. People just acting like a two-year-old brats and mouthing off to everybody. At least in WoW the worst we got are Chuck Norris jokes that sucked.
Racism has no place in the world any more, with the exception of being racist against stupid people. If you're still seeing in black and white, or any other color for that matter, you need to be locked up. The civil war is over people. Nobody is owed anything by anybody over the past. I have had to grow up around this racist BS here in the southeast, and I am tired of it. If I see that crap in-game, you can expect a ban.
