WHY IS EVERYONE BANNED?

[TeeGee]

Let me get this straight: HEAPS of people get banned. And NO-ONE in the mod-team or even the admins even know why. Damn customer service is great here.

From what I can gather, FP did a bust that included a giant block KA did a week or so ago, due to abuse of account sitting. I think the people included in that original block are listed here. viewtopic.php?f=45&t=60924

Now, it seems like *manimal is a part of this all. It looks like manimal's accounts got intermingled and mixed with the giant block list...when Fireside Poet was doing a bust. He evidently is on a plane right now, so I don't know when we'll get in touch with him. I'm not sure if he meant to bust some new manimal accounts, and the block list got attached to it, and thus they got busted and stripped (due to their previous giant block), or what exactly happened.

So it looks like we've got to figure out what FP did, his thoughts behind it all, understand who is supposed to be busted and who maybe isn't, give out some free days/weeks of premium if this is all some giant mistake/accident

Well there you have it, there was no conspiracy. Im terribly sorry for those people who are affected if this was a mistake. I hope we can sort this out quickly.

[Snorri1234]

I really care about this.

Bold and big letters won't get your message across.

To be brutally honest, I bet to differ.
It certainly gets the message across, just not in the right way.

[t-o-m]

Was there a thread that had all the people listed that were given bans? If so did the hunters explain why they were getting this ban?

No I think everyone has checked C&A about this and we couldn't find anything. I know some of them were in the Maxatstuy thread, but those were just blocks, nothing mentioned about bans, and then as someone brought up the 'Farmer's Guild' thread, also nothing was said about that. I don't think anyone really knows what is going on, and we just have to wait for the admins to explain.

No it wasnt in C&A, i was talking to *manimal on msn and he just told me that he got busted again, [surprise surprise], and he showed me the list, and all of those people were on there, including some of his ones.

Hello maxatstuy,

Your activity on Conquer Club has aroused suspicion and triggered an investigation by a staff member. It has been determined that you most likely have duplicate accounts, in violation of Rule #1 of Conquer Club (i.e. no multiple accounts) with the following: Arod_fsh, cc will die soon, Jhonnynolife24, kmanning6133, *manimals, C-rex, Deez_Nuts, DJ_AR, JesusReigns, *manimal , 300spartans, King_Herpes, ConanTheConquerr, elistuy, KingOfGods, Paddy The Cat, fantasianasian, JCKing, Prankcall, phantomzero, freeroll84, dallascowboys11, assassin07, 1dominic88, maxs account, ninjaraider, krusher, BlackIrish, Brazileiro, Nom Anor, buttpirate69, I am foe-land, Fedual_Addict, Iackattack, Thislong, lolpwned, quail123, fudualaormight1, T-oo-m, nfhicbfu, *manimal, RoughRiderKid, Rated Insane, kmanning613, shankcall, Justcallmedumb, owned:D, torcav1, JashidRelzin, supermax213, Foe-Land, DonnieBrascoswar, lol123haha, familyguy#1, fsdubsmaster, maxasury, wonfhaha, tropical7, 95kx37, clapper01111, codetalker3, tropical1, *manimal10000000, gotchayanow, manimal100, zezima11, hugo12, Tw!ll, The Viper000, kitty_on_katnip, jr_gp, manimal100000, manimal1000, manimal10, warl0rd, death_note, Pwned:D, cheech999, dem-12, winnar21, The tide, paranoiarodeo, jospetry, Theblackmages, Express-Dem, Expression, d-e-m.

Multiple accounts pose a big problem for multiplayer games -- duplicate accounts are usually created to get around the maximum number of simultaneous games limit, or to dominate a game with multiple accounts. It is not only annoying to other players, but the excessive use of server resources is unfair to everyone.

Comparing the billing information is the only reliable way to verify uniqueness of an account. It also greatly reduces the risk of someone creating several accounts for themselves.

Having spoken with Fireside Poet, it seems there may have been a glitch with the Multi Hunting tool. To be honest, this is very confusing and I'll have to spend more time on Monday to follow up on what happened, but for now I'll reinstate the premium membership of these accounts who had it stripped from the "over-bust":

KingOfGods? so hes a multi?

[firth4eva]

Prankcall is still forum banned.

[Night Strike]

Prankcall is still forum banned.

Those members are still in the Guests group, so I'm guessing lack will have to manually move them back to the Registered Users group. I don't know when he'll get around to it.

Fo shizzy my nizzy, I'm off da chizzy believe me!

[wrestler1ump]

i want answers night not to wait and wonder why my son got booted for no damn reason... he made his mistake once and has worked hard to rebuild his name here... this is bull man some has to resolves this crap... and if he got banned for what he did b4 that is bull he paid for it already... i cant believe this...

Your son tried to be cool by opening up a multi. It takes a long time to rebuild one's name here after getting busted for that. Stop bitching out the administrators here.

[t-o-m]

It would only take a few minutes, the hardest part is pressing Ctrl + F and finding their name on the list.

[wrestler1ump]

Let me get this straight: HEAPS of people get banned. And NO-ONE in the mod-team or even the admins even know why. Damn customer service is great here.

LOL

[lancehoch]

I believe that to be the list of premium players who were mistakenly busted. They should have all had their premium returned by this point.

[t-o-m]

kingofgods is freem, although he may have been freem before this?

[Bruceswar]

kingofgods is freem, although he may have been freem before this?

KingOfGods premium ran out about a week ago. Therefore he would not have any to reinstate.

[lackattack]

Everything should be fixed now.

I also re-activated the following accounts:

dallascowboys11
elistuy
KingOfGods
BlackIrish
Nom Anor

And removed forum bans of all accounts affected.

I'm looking into the cause to make sure it doesn't happen again...

[freeroll84]

Thank you very much lack for working so hard in getting status restored. I surely appreciate what you've done and what you're doing to make this a great site.
