Hello,

I messaged Flak (she's admin) about this thread.
If you say the truth, you might get your account back (with a bit of luck).

What "friends" do you have then? And as much as I trust my friends, but I would still never leave someone alone at a PC where I am set to stay login in stuff.

[Masondeanm2]

I'm not even 100% i know what a troll is, can someone enlighten me

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

You are responsible for your account. Whether someone "accidentally" trolled in it or not, it's all on you.

i don't recall doing any of that, everything i posted was Infinity Blade related (cause i pretty much only used the Infinity Blade forum). and i also can beleive they ban your account forever for doing that

What jefe says is right, but you could have luck if your posts differ significantly from the trollposts. That way it would be possible to see if these posts were made by someone else which proves that someone else did that and possibly justify an unban.

There's just one problem with that:
AfaIk troll posts get deleted as fast as possible to maintain peace around the Epic Games forum (which is good imo).

[Baryonyx]

Still the admins should be able to look at these posts even if they look like deleted to normal forum users.

This. Sorry bud, but if you got banned, it's your fault whether you did it or not, especially if you knowingly let someone on your account.

that's so bs, what could someone even do that would ban them forever

[Sly.]

Insult other users, post something completely off-topic, spam the same post several times in different threads, insult Epic themselves, talk bad (not in a way you would write constructive criticism but in an offending way) about one of their products, advertise a product/spam, break any of the forum rules, etc.

There are many possibilities. Thanks goodness you rarely get to see something like that around here (probably thanks to the admins' and moderators' frequent activities).

But as much as I trust my friends too, I never let them alone at my PC when I'm logged in. Usually I log out before a friend comes over though.

Remember: It might be a funny prank for them, but that's (of course) not so funny for you since you're the one who has to come up for what they did. Better be 100% sure nothing can happen than giving them the possibility to do that.

I really recommend to talk to Flak about this. I sent her a PM about this thread, but she's a busy woman so it's possible she forgot about it or didn't get to it yet.

[Masondeanm2]

it honestly didn't even cross my mind to log out, i hardely even used it on my computer, i did it almost always on my ipod

[Flak]

Yes, please log out in the future.

The ban has been lifted.
