By the way, whether or not the punishment is too harsh, you still should know better than to do something stupid in front of someone who can actually punish you for it. Maybe for your next act you could rub a steak on your privates and then go parading in front of a half starved pitbull and then go crying about it.

Oh and I highly doubt that the OP "only" spammed something twice. Who the heck spams something only twice and stops there? You either spam or don't spam.

Yeah yeah, I knew it would happen sooner or later. You've never seen me bash Gaile. You've never seen a "few posts" (in my opinion, 3 or more) in which I've even mentioned Gaile (not including this post of course), i don't think. What you saw however, was me show no sympathy for Gaile's loss of her hat during last week's event, due to her not paying attention to drops and inventory space.

I did not bash her, though it seems she and a few others took it that way. As a matter of fact, if anyone could claim to have been bashed it would've been the people I accused of "brown nosing", which they were. I only said that people were treating her a lot differently than they treated others here when things go bad for them in game and they come here to post about it. The evidence of that is in this thread itself. Just look at all the negative comments like "idiots" etc., being tossed out. The thing about her thread was that there was so much smooching going on, when I commented on it, it "seemed" like a bash, when it really wasn't, and some people realized that.

So to clarify, no, I have no personal vendetta against Gaile. No, I do not resent all the attention Gaile get's when she come to the outposts in game (though I found the whole spectacle of her 'celebrity' amusing enough to comment on it). No, I don't have anything against Anet. For all it's faults, I love Guild Wars and am heading into my oldest character's second birthday in a few months.

See? It's called an analogy. Like I said before, sure I could have used a different one, but I didn't think it would be taken as something to be threatened with a ban. Also, I never complained about it, read the post again. I said I had an attitude of "whatever" and left.it.alone. It happened a while ago, and I only brought it up as an example to support my opinion on why I thought Gaile had a hand in deciding who got banned.

You take things way too seriously, you should chill out a bit. Vulgar, obscene, and sexist? A little over the top that is, don't you think? I guess you don't think piglets should eat then, because they do fight over the teat you know. I know this, because I was raised around farms. It's just a fact of life, nothing obscene about it.

There's nothing about this that has anything to do with abuse of power. It's against the ToS, against common decency and just plain immature.

Guild Wars is pretty forgiving of idiots because of the lack of moderation, but that doesn't mean that you have carte blanche to be one, and it certainly doesn't make it unfair or abuse of power when you *do* get banned for it.

There's nothing wrong with 3 days. If you play religiously, 1 day is trivial, but 3 days is something you don't forget, and that's the point of a temporary ban in the first place.

Two stickers I have on my laptop come to mind:

"Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle and quick to anger"

"Bow before me for I am Root"

My guess is that they looked in their logs and banned everyone who said it, regardless of how much. You didn't do it to make her smile and laugh, you did it either in a gang mentality with no thought as to what you were doing or were seeking to irritate. When you seek to irritate someone you can usually succeed, in this case you irritated someone who has enough authority to do something back.

You are not the first, nor will you be the last, that learns the hard way that those in charge of a computer system can do whatever they want and making them angry isn't a good strategy.

HAH suits it! Would love to see that ban

If people werent so retarded...i mean...even with Gaile?!

I think that the Gw community is getting dumber and dumber each day. I didnt see so many things like this a year ago. the WTS/WTB spam i always saw, but this? IT's like the game is being played by 5 year kids...

I think that Anet should do a revision to the community and do a mass-ban!!

Perhaps you do not technically "complain" about it, but your posts in this thread about it show you are harboring sour grapes about it and refusing to accept responsiblity for it - as if you did nothing wrong when clearly the thing you described yourself saying was very wrong.

There are lots of obscene facts of life, but that does not mean by virtue of them being facts of life it is right or "okay" to go around publicizing them. Especially when it involves a really vulgar analogy like the one at hand.

I see your points here, and maybe "bashing" was not the correct word. I would never "Brown Nose" Gaile or Anet, they have MANY mistakes and issues that need to be worked out, however I have my own to worry about. I have noticed several scornful remarks from people towards Anet, people are very harsh on anet. I saw people bashing (for lack of a better word ) anet because they screwed up some things on the latest PvP primer, if you ask me that is pretty harsh.

However you do seem to post as though you take no responsibility for comments you make, and that they are completely justifiable.

*Points and laughs at parrot"
This is my kind of lady and I bet she said at the time in question with an evil smile " You like ban "
All you can do is take it, parrot. GG Gaile

At any rate, it's not going to do much to complain about it here. Send a support ticket if it's that big a deal.

I did not complain about, not technically or any other word you would want to use. It's called an example. Don't assume please, you really shouldn't do that. There's a saying that....well nevermind, you'll just get offended, I will give you one thing and one thing only, there are obscene facts of life. However, a mother pig feeding her young isn't one of them, at least not in my eyes, and I didn't think the analog was offensive either. A little off color, but not offensive. But I digress, that's something that's long been done with. I think I've covered my main points so far, bu if you have anything to add please pm it to me. I don't want to give the people a show they didn't pay to see.
