When folks get banned...

When folks get banned from the game could they please get banned from the forum also? Its so annoying to have to weed through so many posts from whining cheats who got caught and now want to cry all over the place and beg to be exempt from following the rules the rest of us follow every day.

If you won't ban them from the forum maybe they could be restricted to just a Whining thread so they could cry together in one area we could easily avoid?

Forums is an easy way for those who are banned to unban their account. Not only that but there are many people who don't know the process and being banned from forums wouldn't really help them at all in at least knowing how to unban their account

How about they follow the rules in the first place instead of waiting til they get caught cheating and then suddenly they care oh so much about rule following? They shouldn't be able to get their accounts unbanned anyway. I get so sick of seeing the same people violating tos and game rules, then they finally get banned, whine on here repeatedly and then get their accounts back n start cheating again almost right away til next time they are caught.

It's really just a waste of OTM resources to bother enforcing rules if whining and stomping your foot gets them to reverse their decision. Would be time better spent allowing everyone to cheat and fixing broken aspects of the game instead.

Everyone deserves second chances and personally I believe that people should be able to unban their account. Not only that but bans don't always occur due to breaking rules. From personal experiences, bans can also occur from misunderstandings.

If being banned was from a misunderstanding then the person should follow the requests for info and appeals processes as instructed by otm and the situation would be resolved.

Nowhere in the process for reviewing or appealing account suspensions or bans does it say that the next appropriate step is to go to the forum and whine, stomp your foot, be pitiful, threaten and generally act like a 3 year old. My issue is when we all have to weed through 3 yo temper tantrums.

If you follow the proper appeal procedures and you get your account back fine, but people don't need to spam the rest of us about it either way.

If you feel this is an issue why not head over to the feedback & suggestions forum, or even to petitions.

Have fun!

Don't like it don't read it, yes it's their problem but you don't have to be so negative and act like its a huge issue that they are frantically trying to get their account back. I bet if you got banned and appeals ignored you one day then you'd realise why people do it.

You're literally getting angry at someone writing a post? Come on dude clearly you're taking your anger for something else out on people that slightly irritate you

Some people ingame never heard of forums, and don't know what the rules are because even I have no idea where to find them ingame for past 5 years of playing.
