I've been banned twice online, one was an online tech site all i did was post and talk about a piece of software i was using no links no talk of price ect just stating that i liked its usefulness it basically allowed me to run 2 user accounts on one PC seperate keyboard and mouses dedicated cards for each instance it was really useful, don't even remember the name of it now but i liked it alot so wanted to share with people.
The 2nd time was Blizzard and Diablo 3 i have an illness and so i often don't sleep for a very long period of time, looking back they did me a favour but they banned me cause i was playing so much that they thought i was a bot, i was well known in the community and even when people contacted people higher up the chain the ban stood so even being legit and playing 48+ hours at a time will get you into trouble. No way of even having a conversation with them they were adamant that their software dectection had me 100% even thou i was having conversations in game inviting people in and out of party and being talkative when playing sheer madness really, but they done me a favour i sometimes sleep now
So yeah companies and their terms and ways of handling matters at times is pathetic and tbh there must be some form of legal way of getting treated correctly or at least fairly.
I mean they could have sent you a pm and deleted the post many ways they could deal with that in a better manner.
I was only angry at blizzard cause they said i was a bot and was cheating, im way too old a gamer to ever cheat in any game, been playing since i was 3 years old i don't need to cheat and games these days are often not much of a challange in general other than online i've not got the reflex's i once had when younger for fps games but it's nice when it go's well and i get serveral kills in a few moments of skill
I did get my own back on blizzard i have a high suspition diablo immortal came from one of my feedback rants on a 2nd account, i left them an essay in the tiny do you wish to add anything box
Don't you guys have phones was in my post when replying to them and that was a good year before they even announced it lmao
The internet has bought out the best in many walks of life. However, it has also bought about the worst.
I've been banned at least once on every single forum I post on. At least once. Why? because some one always has the button, and human nature predicts they can't help but adore the feeling of power. Most of the other forums I go on are self levelling. You know? a row will kick off, people will calm down and etc. All human behaviour. Some however? oh god, out come the mods "Do this or else I will swing my ban hammer !" and etc. LOL would you really say that to me down the pub if I said something you didn't like?
Power, the feeling of control, and the feeling of being right
are not good for humans. They need to be taught that a lot of the things they say can and indeed are wrong or, that they should learn to acknowledge when they are incorrect and be humble. This week? I have seen it from one member. And I appreciated it. He or she will know who they are. Whenever I mess up? I admit it. I was taught how to be wrong.
The problem we face now as a society is that we are trying to make anything we don't agree with, or don't like, or are offended by go away. And every time we do that we just amplify the problem and we create far more problems than we can solve.
Another bad by product of this is that whenever these people have something they cannot avoid, or can't run away from, or can't hide that is bad they will fall to pieces. As they have no conditioning for the sort of
real crap life can throw at them. We can all be idealists, and we can all expect things to go in certain directions. However, life itself does not work like that.
So now suicide in young males is through the roof. Why? because they have no conditioning for it.
Me? hah ! I got the pee ripped out of me from day one at school. First my appearance, then my size (I was small and we weren't rich because my dad died) then I got bullied and kids made fun of the fact I had a dead father. It was common place for someone to reach for the "Oh no you can't say that !" button.
Now I will admit I didn't like it very much. However, and there is one, I appreciated it. Why? because I would rather an asshole show his hand and then I know that he is an asshole than pretend to be nice to my face and crap on me when I am not around.
I could sell sand to the Arabs. Does that mean I want to? no, no not really. It means I have to lie, to pretend, to do things against my morals and all sorts of other things I refuse to do.
So I am very much a marmite sort of person, who people seem to love or hate. Some hate me because I have the ability not to make them feel good about something that they shouldn't feel so good about, some love me because no matter what given day they see or speak to me they know what they are getting is 100% genuine. And they appreciate that, as much as I appreciate it myself.
If I like something? you'll know it. If I dislike something? you will know it. I don't change my ideals or my story, I remain very consistent. I can't be bought, I won't be lied to and so on. I am a very *very* strong person. I have been through all sorts of real unavoidable crap in my life that I could not just hide behind a smile, and I feel a much better person for it. It's hardened me where I need to be hardened, and it has softened me where I need to be softened.
If people really think they can do this merry little dance through life and the bad crap won't catch up with them? good luck. Even hardened criminals will get to the point where they think about what they have done and have to live with it.
I don't go out of my way to upset people. Oh I could, very easily, and I have, but I am just me all of the time. If you like that? sweet. If you don't? well that's tough.
Nosser. Bipolar 2 and autism. Been on anti psychotics for a decade. You may be familiar with them as it goes (Quetiapine). And yeah, same. If I don't take my night time cocktail (Zopiclone along with Quetiapine) I won't sleep either.
