same thing happend to me today...i dont know why, no one said anything to me about anything at all ( i dont mod btw, there are several ppl that could confrim that, also i die all the time in pvp, which would mean im not very good at modding if i did mod, lol)

Yeah I'm also banned from the Elite server. Considering I don't know why I'm banned... and the fact I am addicted to the game... I'd appreciate if an admin would plz unban me. My character name was "JiNgL[ng". thnxxx

Bump...
I assume this is the right forum for this thread. If an admin can help I'd really appreciate it. Jingling and I are friends and we play with quite a few other friends on Elite till this happened. This is really a bummer...

Do either of you remember helping out a player with the callsign [RETRO-01 by chance?

unwise career move....

hmm ppl using the [Retro tag interest me, this a good or bad reason Stinger as I get one of them as well on my server and wonder about him. Always claims he runs a server and is Clean even after seeing him kicked twice. Might be the mission bug so No proof...

Why are people so mean. Talking that way in my terad. I'm not mad I just want to be unban I'm sorry if I sounded kind of mean. It just wasn't right in my eyes.

[RETRO* character names on my server have almost consistantly been flagged as cheaters. Contantly having to ban them.

Gotta love it.

Though my personal favorite are the people who create names like

I_Mod
Virus
I_have_virus
I_Crash_You

Umm... just to be safe I have to ban these people.

Well, there was a pretty nice guy who was helping my friends and I out with the RETRO tag. I'm pretty sure it was Ranger-01. He was blowing up cargo ships by this base so we could sell the goods. By the next day we all had enough money to get Eagles and we saw him again at Freeport 9 or someplace. He was giving away these level 10 nomad guns. I didn't think anything of it at the time since he said he got them from killing nomads. As far as cheating goes I wouldn't know the 1st thing about it. My friends and I are pretty new to multiplayer FL. If by talking to him or trading with this person makes me unworthy of the Elite server, then so be it. But, in my opinion, this is hardly fair. You can't expect newbies (as much as I hate to admit it) to know about this stuff...
Anyway... it would be great if you would reconsider the bans against Jingling and I. I think they are undeserved. Thanks, for listening to my side of the story.

yes, i remeber ranger-01, could you please define helping? because i dont think i did but i may have unknowingly, if i did i'm sorry.

Well, I was banned from 2 servers because I accepted large amounts of cash from someone, and when an admin caught me playing a few days later, the **** called me all sorts of nasty names and banned me.
Being I am 43yrs of age, had this mindless twit tallked to my face the way he talked to me in chat I would have ripped his lungs out!!!
That said, I think it is pretty assinine and ignorant for a player to be banned because they may have associated with a known cheat by no fault of their own!
And if these lamers are that quick to ban people from their server, find somewhere else to play.
And let others know just how chicken-sh!t their server is and no-one will go their!
Word of mouth is the best weapon of revenge!


Blow Me~~~~~~A-Kiss!

well i have put in way to much time on elite to be banned for somthing stupid like that, and secondly if i went around badmouthing the server and it's admin i would never get another chance to play there again...i didnt accept any money or equipment to my knowledge.

the way i see it is that if you accept money/equipment from a cheater you're cheating too.

I agree with you. If someone knowingly takes ill gotten goods, be it weapons or cash, then they are just as guilty as the cheater. However, this was not the situation in our case. This was the 3rd day I have played seriously online. I was on with about 6 friends. We played nearly non-stop during this time. Doing diamond/niobium runs with each other. When we first met Ranger he was a nice guy. Followed us around for a while. Blew up some cargo ships for us, etc. Then the next day we had FINALLY made it to the Omnicron systems and bought our Eagles. I asked if anyone was selling level 10 guns and I bought 2 for 20k from some other guy.. Shadow"something". Then that Ranger guy showed up and we said hi. He remembered us from the previous day. We asked him if he had any Level 10 weapons for sale also. He then gave us all quite a few. It did seem a little odd that he would freely give so many away. But I figure once you get the best stuff in the game, that all comes a lot easier and would be less valuable to the person who would stockpile that stuff. And since we were already aquaintences, I figured he was just a nice guy. If you guys are convinced he cheats I am sorry for dealing with him. This is a big dissapointment to my friends and I and I hope the admins can look at our situation fairly. Thanks.

I want to know if you get unbanned. Please post it in here when you do. If they don't unban you, then they are no better than dock campers, noob killers, and cheaters. Maybe the guns you got were from cheating and that is why they banned you. Who knows, but I don't think they should ban people unless the players is actually cheating by modding with their own computer. I am sure it was a misunderstanding, just to give the admins the benefit if the doubt.
