Re: Recent Bannings
1) The UOGamers and RunUO staff have *ALWAYS* had the following policy both on the forums and in-game:
* Instant Termination
This is a no-questions-asked, no-warnings-given termination, and is exercised at the option of staff in instances where a warning is not a sufficient option. Again, the decisions of the staff are final and are not subject to appeal.
2) People who are incorrectly banned get unbanned. This has happened before, it will happen again. You show how you were incorrectly banned, and it is lifted (Trust me, I've had days where I spent more time studying and unbanning cases than I did spawning)
3) People who get banned and cannot prove that it was a mistake get banned, and that's the end of it. Ask my nephew: He got banned. He's STILL banned. People who get banned will always claim it was wrong, or staff hates them, or whatever. Get over it, find a new shard. If the "staff hate you" or the staff "ruins the game", then do you REALLY want to be here?
4) Staff rarely have enough time to do day-to-day things on top of RL issues, so do you REALLY think they have time to "take it out on the players?" Common sense, folks.
5) If you *EVER* have to ask, think about asking, or even consider "Is this legal?" then the answer "No, it isn't legal and you will almost undoubtedly get banned". If you try to "Perry Mason" an argument, you will be firewalled. I don't like people trying to "legalese" their way into winning an argument, as it generally translates into "I know I'm wrong, I won't admit it, and I'm going to make them change the rules for me"
6) Lastly, Staff vs Player's word: While log files don't show conversations and the such, they DO show how packets are handled in game... Guess what? WE HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE LOGS. We can easilly tell when someone did something wrong. Arguing when you're busted is totally fruitless.
