oh lawd, and the e-drama continues.
I create a spoof account for every game i play, incase just such an event as this happens. It allows me to quickly switch to my spoof account to readu over the tos and eula and possibly question the powers that be.
I did just that with my spoof account and it was quickly banned without receiving a reply. Or so i thought. I received this email today:
Service Terminated from Outspark.com
"Account Name: PantiesRox
This account has been permanently closed. The account will no longer be accessible and all Avatars, Avatar Items, Spark Cash, or any associated in-game assets will soon be deleted. Unfortunately, this action was necessary due to repeated and/or severe violations of the Terms of Use and/or the Rules of Conduct. This decision is final and is not subject to further appeal.
This measure is regrettable; however it is necessary to protect the Outspark.com Service and ensure the overall health of the Outspark.com community.

Further correspondence pertaining to this account will likely be reviewed and/or deleted without response.
Please respect the Outspark.com Terms of Use and the End-User License Agreement (EULA). These terms still apply to you as per the original agreement. Members who have had their account(s) terminated by Outspark.com may not access the Service in any manner without express written permission from Outspark.com. Currently active Members may not allow previously terminated account holders to access/use their accounts for any reason.
Reason: Unapproved 3rd Party Program Use"
O'rly now? unapproved 3rd party program use? on an account that i never once went in game with? how does one figure that?
maybe its because KY_Jelly was using unapproved 3rd party programs. you know, such malicious content as the Logitech keyboard profiler that came as an accesory to my driver.
all G15 users beware. infact all Logitech mouse and keyboard owners, throw away your hacking devices immediately.
I never used a macro program, although I've toyed with the idea of writing a quick auto attack and auto pickup farm macro for ACTools, but i didn't get banned for "intent to use unapproved 3rd party programs" so i dont see how thats at all relevant. Hell, i haven't even used keylay to rebind left and right shifts to better accomodate that i normally use right shift and control instead of left shift and control.
In other words, banned because its easier than dealing with the fact Steam is a total fucking idiot and abuses his power without a care in the world.
