Admins abusing power? - Guild Wars Forums

Nero_Fayth · Mar 27, 2008, 09:39 PM // 21:39

i just got hit with the banhammer for 3 days because of "inappropriate language."

I hadn't logged on for at least 3 weeks, until a day ago, when I was scrub-rubbing in RA. We face virtually the same team twice, flawless both and i get shit talked in pm by a certain guild known for it's devs.. I tell him to qq, go dnd and call it gg.. I log on today to find I'm banned for 3 days; mind you I typed 6 lines at most to this player which were devoid of expletives.

I honestly have doubts anet's staff's credibility. (I would go into detail about how izzy secretly asked farin/others from DF a few months ago to skill balance without anet's permission, but I'll save that for another day.)

Lol @ these chat logs:

Anyway, it's off topic but...

Does the formal process that everyone follows to report another player apply to gm's/devs/admins?
I'm not sure regular players would be able to answer this, but it would be nice to get some input.

*I'm not asking for a repeal of my suspension, but rather an answer to a question. Quit flaming.

And yeah, this is the only topic I can find that's worth PMS'ing about. <:

[QUOTE=Nero_Fayth]long rant[QUOTE]

Izzy fails at balance, Support fails at supporting, Anet fails at coding (Just has to be said)...

Offc. some admins will fail, gues what they are only humans. I got banned for say niger before, I actually ment to say niger (The river) because we discussing something... Weekend banned for offensive language... People make mistakes, get personal, abuse powers, nothing you can do about

Gl tough, too bad it's HA weekend today, well gues you'll have to go outside and play

(I won't even start on support etc, by the same you would get unbanned, if even, weekend will be long over)

The forum can't help with your banned problem, although you could request a copy of the chat log involved.

As for /report, it doesn't matter who the other player is, the process is the same.

While I do believe the OP, it's hard to prove it. Why would you screenshot one of the many whiners in RA

English Warrior · Mar 27, 2008, 09:56 PM // 21:56

screenshot pls or no belief

Nero_Fayth · Mar 27, 2008, 10:03 PM // 22:03

I never asked for a repeal. I wanted to know if gm's have to follow the same process to request a suspension, or if they can implement one without question.

Edit: No, I'm not crying over anything. I asked a SIMPLE question, not for a repeal or anything of the sort. Read the post before you flame please.
