It is discouraging to the moderators that we even need to ever explain our actions at all. If a user just reads over the rules, 90% of the time they should be able to conclude why they were suspended. I know this because most the time when someone pm's me asking why, I just basically repeat what the rules already clearly say and they understand just fine. Even if something is not yet updated to the rules, after the first suspension, it should be fairly obvious.

If a user still disagrees after reading over the rules, please, take it up with Mr. Basil via the main menu report function, we don't need to debate it with people as we do not have the ability to reverse your suspension anyway, not to mention that we probably wouldn’t anyway because on the whole, we don’t believe we have made any mistakes. I certainly know for myself as I have checked with Mr. Basil on borderline issues before just to be sure.

In addition to that, you don't have to constantly try make us look bad for the sake of doing so just because you're unhappy with the current rule system which I believe is more than sufficient to anyone who is mature enough to read over them and decide to avoid breaking them. I know there are several active users who have yet to get suspended at all. Look at waterwaker, as badly as we get alone, I have yet to ever see him break the rules and have therefore not suspended him. I have seen others also make mention that they have not been suspended yet either, or some that have, but rarely so.

One last thing I would like to mention:
If you see someone breaking the rules, please click the "+" sign in the corner of their post and send in a report, it helps us do a more efficient job on the whole since we cannot be everywhere at once. That way, you needn’t complain that we aren’t doing a good enough job, because in essence, you should be helping us by reporting rule-breakers.

If you have to report anything that is not post related, (e.g. false suspension complaints, fake avatars or feedback scamming), please rather do so via the main menu report function as Mr. Basil deals with things like that. In the case of false suspension complaints, if your suspension is not reversed after sending in a complaint, you can usually conclude that the suspension was not without reason.

We're just trying to do the best job we can.

Why thank you! That's nice to hear. Especially with my experiences on other forums which include of calling me immature, and even crazy!
Bands: Bowling for Soup, We The Kings, MayDay Parade, Boys Like Girls, Ary of Freshmen

Everyone has their own set of issues.
Bands: Depends

Finally everyone get to know this -_-'
Bands: Linkin Park, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Oomph, Nirvana, Nightwish etc.

Lols. I'm just pissed 'cause I just got unbanned from a 20 day ban, and the FIRST thing I do is go update my warrior thread. And now I'm banned again until the 31st of december because my friggin post was too long.

Grr.

rofl, that's not cool, maybe you can get it lifted.
Bands: Depends

PS: I need a guild.

Got friends that are in some cool guilds? Like.. On the GPQ board and stuff.

All of my buddies are either in Valor or Shikgu, lol. >_>

Provided you report via the "+" menu on their posts, and can show that it is indeed a multiple account, then sure.

In the case of the current report in our report inbox of someone bragging they have four accounts, that's being left for mrbasil to deal with as he can probably check which each of the accounts are whereas we cannot.
Bands: Depends

I agree. Why should YOU justify your actions when THEY have done something wrong.

Only the Autoban caused some confusion. I've been banned twice by that thing, ince because I didn;t know the word "MapleStorymob" was weird, and another time for saying the "s-word".
Bands: No bands, but Rolf Koster, Uwe Kroger, Addo Kruizinga (as Rudolf and Death)

There would have been a reason for that. Whomever gave it would know.
As for the first one, I have already explained it.

k but i hardly think it's justified to ban him for that, it may be sarcastic, but it certainly isn't flammable enought to start a flame war

Suspensions get annoying as soon as you get your first. The second, third, fourth, etc are even more boring. >.<
It's also funny when you find out the reason, and how you end up thinking "Crap. I knew better".
Mods do a great job at what they do, so, Keep it up I guess!

Edit: Pfffffft. I got suspended for saying an oh-so-terrible word in a PM.

It's COMPLETELY justified since he was spamming the same thing in multiple threads. It's common sense.
