I already did. I left his server, I've created a whole new character with a never before used name (by me at least).

true that. I learned my lesson about declaring who the better GM is in game.

although it's true, and I believe that's at least a small part of the reason steam took action in the first place. Dakkon is much more well liked and the player-GM relation is a lot better on the Teva server than on the Apoline server.

hmm yeah well, u said u've never had contact with Steam, and the first thing you said was to compare him with Dakkon... i think his reaction is normal...

I talked to some kid named "Lubricant" on Apoline not too long ago. Unless thats you I think he's going to get banned soon, if he hasn't already that is. Steam doesn't really ask questions, he just swings the Banhammer wildly. If you get in the way, you're toast. Sorry to hear about you getting banned and going on the run but from what you've said you kind of did deserve to get banned. Steam is a nice guy sometimes but he really needs to relax and pull that stick out of his ass. People would like him a lot more if he did.

sure, that might be natural kneejerk reaction but it doesn't mean its the right thing to do.

how would you like it if a cop shot you anytime you did something to irritate you?

mages: thats not me. Someone took the name before i had a chance to squat it.

**Hessah** · 10-23-2007, 01:33 AM

it wont happen to me coz i wont irriate them... XD

Yeah, I had a feeling it wasn't you. He was actually intelligent. Lol! Just kidding. Don't kill me. >.<

1) Your name was changed because it was determined, by Murdock, to be against the Terms of Service. This was not an arbitrary decision.
2) Dakkon did not tell me to change your name, I made that choice with input from our CSR lead. Dakkon told me, name him after some sort of Jelly brand. So I did. He gave me the name.
3) You proceeded to delete the character, and remake it, thereby avoiding the punitive measure that was taken against you, as well as going far enough to create other names in violation of the ToS. This was then discussed with our CSR lead, who then informed me to ban your account permanantly, as well as any further accounts you had created.
4) You recieved the wrong message, your Pantiesrox account should have recieved the Innappropriate User ID TSR, I will see to it that you recieve the correct one.
5) When I warped to you, in general chat, you were warned your name was against the ToS, you chose to argue, so you were kicked and it was changed.

No. you'd know its not me because he was a mage (ew) I dont use mages. I barely even use them to farm.

I was really hoping you'd post in here.

1) You never mentioned Murdock at all. You never mentioned anyone before the fact. and after you changed my name you only mentioned Dakkon.

2) Lol. Looking back on it, the name was mildly humorous (mostly because of the fact it was still some kind of jelly). Still asking me what my name should be, or possibly even warning me before hand would have been nice.

3) You'll excuse me if i still don't understand how my namy is in violation of ToS. and if it is, how come it wasn't changed way back in Closed Beta. 20+ levels on closed beta, 25+ levels on Teva server in Open Beta, and 23 levels on Apoline server. And i know i haven't gone unnoticed (remember you warning me about scamming gold farmers?) no action was taken then but its taken now? seems ludicrous to me. As far as the other names, I won't argue that one. I did act childishly. Its just once again, why wait over an hour to ban me for that offense? why not just ban me right after i did it?

4) Just got the right one. that does help that you at least banned the account with some sort of valid reason (albeit a BS one in my opinion)

5) you never said anything in general chat. you warped to me, i made mention of you disliking my comment because you were "mean mugging" me then i was disconnected. no chat bubble over your head the whole time, i know, i was waiting for a reply.

really, the oddest part about all of this was I was originally trying to get your attention so i could get you to pass along a message to DSChang. when I was banned and i attempted to get a hold of him through another contact, my message was finally passed along. so in the end, my "dakkon>kalaan" statement fufilled its purpose. Be careful what you wish for i guess, huh?

**O-mie** · 10-23-2007, 02:12 AM

I agree with KY that it might have been better to ask him what name he'd like it changed to. If I remember correctly, another member who had a name similar to Marijuana had her name changed, but the GM asked her what she'd like it changed to, and then changed it.

Also that does seem a bit on the overkill side for banning, maybe a temp ban but yipes lol

Albireo · 10-23-2007, 02:16 AM

I agree with O-mie that a ban was way over the top.
i dont know exactly what happened since i wasnt there but i say just a name change and no ban at all.
To me that punishment just sounds cruel and unusual.
