Heh sorry. It's been something that's bugged me for awhile now, this just upped it. I've exhausted everything practical in my head and one impractical thing but since nothing seems to stand out, I'll just warn others on the forums of the rational parts until I hopefully get a response. No need others getting a surprise ban either.

She isn't ugly, nasty, or skanky. I guess you could say freaky looking, but that is just opinion.

Also she isn't a whore and she doesn't even run her pay site anymore since she moved.

In the end, Faar > Xasia.

All this shit talking about my beloved Faar

Anyway she didn't fuck anyone over, she was actually hired to be a community manager on a game that folded, and she was offered to work on the EQ2 team under MG since the other game didn't work out.

Faar owns irl tbh.

Faarwolf was an unprofessional mega bitch that should be sent to the nearest pound and put to sleep.

Ha ha, neg. Faar owned and was the best EQ2 mod by far. When her and BG ran the forums they were a lot more fun to post on than when they started letting players mod it, that's for sure.

Its not often I agree with Gaige, but yeah, Faar was very cool and she made a great mod.

I haven't been privy to the goings on with the mods for a few months, so I have no clue why one would be banned with no warning. I will say that it was my experience that when people posted here complaining of being banned "for no reason" it was generally not quite true.

One day ban is no big thing. Shake it off and adhere to the rules and all will be sunshine and daisies. Even I have had the occasional slap on the hand.

Regarding Raijinn. Playing favorites is sort of misleading. He wanted those that cared about the community to be encouraged to be there. Some may not have liked how things were done, and I fully admit that he made some poor choices as ALL people do at one point or another, but his intentions were to do the best for the community, which is what his job was. A CMs idea of what is best depends on who they are. Honestly, Moorgard and Blackguard played favorites too. Invites to an expenses paid Fan Faire and summits, early beta invites, etc. I got more perks from BG than I ever did Raijinn. They were just a little less obvious.

The true NGD favortism started with BG and just transitioned to Raijinn. I really liked Raijinn but he wasn't able to balance being professional with being friendly. IMHO anyway.

As for the Summit thing, SOE has been doing that since EQ1 (wasn't the first one the Guild Summit for hardcore raiders?)

Anyway, if you get banned on the official forums I'd just ignore it. The player volunteer mod system there is fatally flawed and always will be because players are generally unable to mod other players while being 100% objective. Shit on those forums almost usually ends up being between someone the mods knows and is friends with and someone they aren't. That's just how it works.

Just a quick step back to the original OP.. you were banned for exactly what it said... your signature... if you actually read what the ban notice said this thread wouldn't even exist. If you don't understand what you did wrong ask Iyeman (he floats around here from time to time) hes been banned for sig violations more times than anyone I've known.

Don't think it was that, his sig has always been fine. The one he had when he got banned was the same one he'd had for at least a month, essentially singing praises of the new TS dev. And no links in it.

I really think it was the whole liar thing. I can't think of anything else it could be. But Sav is right, shake it off and move on. There are people here who have had multiple accounts banned, 1 day ain't nothin'.

That has zero to do with the vol mods tho. The truth is, this applies to paid mods and CMs as well. Its not as if being a paid employee automatically makes one unbiased, as it has been said REPEATEDLY, the CMs and paid mods played favorites. Vol mods are a good idea, they work well on the EQ1 forums, and in fact there are a whole heckava lot of forums on the internet that depend on volunteers. Where do those volunteers come from? The community in which they would moderate, of course. All those people cannot be wrong.

Well experience shows that in EQ2's case at least, it hardly works at all. I mean look at the vol mod turnover not to mention, oh I dunno, this site which between Khalan and the vol mod retardedness (which I was a part of) is where its at today.

We all remember the entire cybersex vol mod bullshit and that was at the very beginning of the program.
