banned unfairly.

[kyloth 0]

according to your TOS, i was banned outside of basic sanction rules. i didnt break sanctions, and the mod that chose to ban me took a much larger step than necessary. i would appreciate it if my account was unbanned and that mod was told the proper protocol for dealing with a single player pressing LFG macro more than once every minute. I never recieved a warning, nor was i muted, i was told, "dont spam, hahaha, enjoy your three hour ban," for simply using my LFG macro to get into a WC group. i dont think that elysium wants the public image of being run by bullies who ban people unfairly and make fun of them for it publicly. its just bullying. anyway, i read your tos, what i did technically wasnt spamming cuz i wasnt advertising anything or greifing anyone, i was asking to find a group. also i think your mod acted beyond the call of duty for said situation, a simple pst, or a mute would have sufficed, but a more than 3 hour ban for someone pressing a LFG macro faster than a mods liking, is highly unfair.

IX. Sanctions

 

Any sanctions or warnings previously set on an account are taken into consideration should the account be found in violation of the ToU. Throw-away accounts in violation of the rules are always permanently banned. Some sanctions can be applied without previous warning. This will depend on its seriousness.

e.g. A player spamming any public channel should receive a warning. If the spam is found to be excessive the Game Master can decide to bypass the warning and give the player a temporary mute.

 

A. Warning

 

For minor infringements, a warning is first given to inform a player about the rules and warn him about future sanctions. Warnings remain in the player's record.

Spam;

AFK in BGs;

Extensive killing of important quest NPCs;

Player harassment;

Racist or offensive sentiments;

Using color changing scripts in-game;

Abuse of assistance system (forum or in-game);

Safespotting;

Lack of respect towards the server or the staff members;

Casinos;

Multiboxing;

Any attempt to bribe a staff member;

Non-English language in public channels.

 

B. Mute or temporary account interruption

 

This sanction can last anywhere from 3 hours to 14 days, depending on severity, and is given for repeated violation of the rules, or for any of the following:

Scamming;

Lying to, or attempting to deceive Elysium staff;

Abuse of in-game bugs;

Organized killing for farming rank and/or honor;

Griefing on World Bosses.

 

C. Permanent ban

 

The most serious sanction. This sanction is applied in case of multiple violations of the rules, or after multiple account interruptions, as well as any of the following:

COD Scamming;

Hacking;

Using any means of botting (e.g. a program);

Any client modification (libraries, executables, MPQ, etc.);

Revealing the identity of an Elysium staff member;

Advertising for other private servers or gold selling websites;

Selling/Buying player names;

Exchanging accounts, gold, items, or any ingame services for another game's features;

Selling/Buying accounts, gold, items, or any ingame services with real money;

Possession of any item(s) or currencies obtained with illegal methods;

Publishing software, methods or articles on cheating which can be applied on the server;

Abuse of major in-game bugs;

Staff impersonation.

 

Elysium reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase a sanction, suspend or terminate your use of the service at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without prior notice to you.

Ban Reason/Notes:spam, but not really spam, but i guess spam even-though i wasn't selling anything or breaking rules, i was just looking for a group.

To appeal your ban, please post in the Ban Appeals section. If you have any issues with how the GM staff was treating you, I would suggest sending a private message to Vaelanor or Jakira.
