[DAoC Official Forums] Heads Up

*IF* you should happen to have your account suspended on the official EU DAoC forums (*cough*) please be aware that the only way you KNOW this has happened is thus:

You go to login to them, and all you get back is blank HTML (literal <html><body></body></html>).

You have to open a RightNow ticket about why this is happening to get told the reason. No email or anysuch to inform you of the action taken.

Of course this means I can't even check private messages on there now.

Use of the phrase "GoA fucked up", which they did. See the tail end of the GOA, is that SERVICE ??? thread, and the subsequent, er, thread that seems to have been deleted "Vent Here Thread...." (or similar).
Your FORUM account was suspended for unnapropriate behaviour.
Their right to suspend my account, I'm just objecting to the 100% lack of any notification of it.

-Ath, wondering how long said suspension lasts for.

[Edit: Actually all GoA/RightNow says is "Your FORUM account was suspended for unnapropriate behaviour.", no specific explanation of what it was for.

Also note that the ONLY mention of 'language' in the Code of Conduct is the very vague phrase "correct language".
There are clauses about not harrassing other players, but GoA hardly counts as that.

I actually feel right now that 'whoever'@RightNow simply read the report from a mod and did no further checking.

I wonder if Kemor's been involved at this point as I did private message him with my concernes about the vagueness of the CoC in this area, also asking if %&^$'ing words would be acceptable.

My REAL beef is still the fact that the first indication of the suspension was that logging in caused blank pages. That and no SPECIFIC notification of exactly what it is that was 'unnapropriate'[sic]. What if I'd not checked the forums at all in the meantime ? Right now I can't login so I couldn't have read any Private Messages (which seem to be the mods' preferred way of contacting people rather than email) to see what was up.

As for that thread that seems to have been plain deleted. It included Gwayne (who locked the first thread) making out that I was THE MAJOR offender in the thread when that "GoA fucked up" was the only incident wrt myself, and two others used questionable phrases, including one "SHU THE FUK UP" directed specifically at another poster.

All smacks of a knee-jerk reaction I think ;)

-Ath, perfectly willing to be made an example of so long as he gets forum access back sometime

Seems like the suspensions are permanent.

You want me to kick a little arse over GOA being heavy handed twats over this?

Sure, if you want to. I promise to a good little sugar-mouthed boy in the future :).

I don't know if this was due to my pestering them enough, someone else interceding on my behalf (thankyou if so), or just the policy they have but I have been informed that my suspension will be lifted on 11th March, with any further transgression resulting in a permanent ban.

-Ath, pondering a quick perl filter to run his posts through ;)

Well, the latest is now that I'm still unable to login without getting blank pages.

Trying to email support@camelot-europe.com (the reply-to on the RightNow emails) results in:

support@camelot-europe.com
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<support@camelot-europe.com>:
host smtp.wanadooportails.com [193.252.118.134]:
550 <support@camelot-europe.com>: Recipient address rejected:
Relay access denied

Guess I'll go comment directly on the RightNow ticket eh ?
