I''ve been banned for no reason!

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

I''ve been banned for no reason!

I created a new player the other day because my friend who plays on Elite (player name Tycho) wanted me to join him. He gave me 1.2 million credits that he had saved up for me. I can only assume my account was banned because he did this. The ability to give someone money is part of the game, banning for this is really lame. gg Elite/LancerReactor

My understanding is there is some sort of cheat detection script that deletes new characters that earn money too fast. You might need to do it in 2 stages. Regardless, there are some flaws witht the detection script, I've notices, other than this. They deal mostly with # of items any of your characters can hold.

hmm how fast? I spent 4 hours n a server to earn 600k doing a minor trade run. some could see it as a fast lvl rise. Usually jumping 2 lvl's on each return trip.

For the record....

cipher was banned because within 6 minutes his character was a lvl 32, zero kills, and 1.2 million in the bank. That's a red flag on any server. Effort was made to contact him without success. Without knowing the facts, the server admins were left with no choice but to ban him hoping contact would be made. He has been unbanned now that the facts have been presented via email (and a couple of posts here that are pretty accusatory). Remember, the admin email is right there on the server news.

The server admins reserve the right to ban people if it appears something "fishy" is going on without any explanation. We don't want to have to erase everyone's accounts a second time due to modders and cheaters. Give us a break, we're doing the best we can given the information available. But rest assured, we will continue to do everything we can to keep this server clean and stable for everyone. We're flexible, but what we don't know might just as easily lead to someone being banned as something we do know.

ALL bans are done for a good reason. If you think you've been banned because we might not know some vital information, send us an email, we're flexible.

Thank you for taking care of the situation admins. Umm it would help if I knew who to speak to directly instead of using the blanket term "admins." I know it was a tough call, and apparently something I posted had upset the cart. For that I apologize.
