Got Banned on New Unreal Forums

[bass3]

As title said

It says reason "trolling", how rude of them! I was just trying to be polite and I started to like Sir_Brizz, and that other dragonguy, whatever his name is.

Nowhere to troll so here I am, I have 0 fate in new unreal becoming anything like ut2k4 was when it reached the spot on being one of most played games when it came out, not to mention over 1.5 million people downloaded the demo in 1 week when it came out!

As for something that stands "community" game, its total nosence, they just wanted people to work for them and contribute their time. No decissions has been made by community, all of it Epic has final words. All of mods and cool mutators you guys made for ut2004 will have to be redone from scratch if you want them in new unreal. Instead Tim Sweeney actually stepping into helping developing the game as it should be, I think I understand now why Cliffy B. is going solo now, cause he actually cares about players and community and he saw that Epic lost it. He was making jokes like "lets redesign weapons, and call it ut2005" or something like that back in days on IRC chat rooms and laughing with community. At this point I think he started to realise how Epic has become sellout and didn't care about players anymore.

Now epic realised they missed chance of unreal becoming esports game, and they want it back with new shinny graphics that 2000 dollars pc can't even handle at this point being stable. I hope this new unreal will die as it started . Nothing new to see, nothing interesting is happening except some unemployed guys trying to asslick to epic by giving concepts to them, and mubleing which unreal is better to get contributor tag. Pathetic I say, and I beg people on this forums don't fall under their shoulders and promisses they make, game is already a failure when they decided to go UT99 with wall jumps.

I recently subscribed to Project Bluestreak on youtube, their community is smaller but atleast they are employing real game designers and people who were envolved into gaming industry and worked on games before.

Big thumbs up to cliffy b. and his project, I hope new unreal will fail

"gr8 b8 m8" is what I think kids these days say.

That rage though. No wonder you got banned there. Next time you will be participating in something try to show some respect to the people working with you.

Lol, i got dynamic ip adress, if thats not enought i got TOR so I can register anytime I want. I just refuse to . I hope new unreal dies.

Without respondig to anything, and if it was a legit ban: The new Unreal Tournament forum has non-Epic-Games-related mods, they can likely ban player on their own. Epic chose to set the same moderators which they had a long time here on this forum. Don't blame Epic for that ban - it's either you or any 3rd-party moderator.

Getting banned from a forum has to hurt and I truly know how you feel, but I do know you love this game just as much as the rest of us. Here's a previous quote from you: "Just woke up, I can't feel my legs knowing today future of unreal tournament is revealed!"

I've made many mistakes in my life and still do, but it can be a true gift if I learn from them. I've read most of your posts and you do have things to offer the community, just some of them comes off a bit abrasive. There's a ton of ways to say the same thing, and you can't go wrong by adding some sugar.

I personally think Epic has it right this time and the new Unreal Tournament will be a huge success. The decision to work closely with the community was genius and proof that they too want to get it right for us.

I'm not bashing on you ... just one player to another. ~cyber

I made a nice thread about Toxikk, and how we can learn from it, guess what happened, guys with over 1000 posts keep bashing each other, and i told one of guys some swear word or something, cause he turned my thread into which game is better and i got some infraction points, I got mad so I tried again, and I posted nicely can actually someone who played the game give some feedback instead guys who never played the game keep arguing. Few people accepted this, then again 3 or 4 posts later, again same guys 1000+++ posts bashing each other and arguing about which game is better, and they haven't even tried the game!!!!

So I said that one of the guys should be banned cause he keeps arguing in every thread on this forums...What can I tell you, so one of admins said that I was acting like 12 year old cause i said swear word but arguing and posting in almost every thread on forums and making your stupid points to start argue that is "ok".
So i started look at latest threads on forums, I found same guy making his point in like 15 out of 20 threads, and I wrote reply to them that he is the best, and we should all listen to him, and bam next thing you know I was banned for reason "troll".


I say good luck to epic, cause you will need more then 20 active idiots on your forums and few epic worker/who are also voulnteers to make a good game.

[Aberiu]

Oh, I recall that was Brizz. I don't like him either, but that's still not a reason to troll him. Defeat him with a valid argument or stay away from discussion (I personally prefer the latter).

people who restrain vocal gymnastics are a waste of time. If people complain because of your profanity then leave them be, they are too ignorant to understand human emotion and how each individual conveys there emotion via some form of action, be it inaction, vocally/ verbally, physically or other.
The fact that anyone calls you a 12 year old for using language that has been present in a game with ESRB 18+ rating, one of which most of us have been playing since we were not of age to do so, is enough for you to realise that they are a waste of time.
In the game language is used for conveying a message, shock, anger, emotion in general or just for fun, profanity is universally recognised, with English being dominant and human emotion surpasses that of language.
The internet removes these important features of human expression, people who don't allow profanity (within limits and used correctly) are to put it simply really stupid people, they are effectively closing off a means of communication. Who cares if the OP is not able to articulate without the use of swearing?- what is important is that you are participating.

Starting a whole thread dedicated to these people that have banned you is not a great idea, although i really enjoyed reading as you speak like a human and telling us your thoughts.

Not all of us are born with an academic tongue, some of us take time to acquire one, then people call us arrogant. So those of us that have realise very quickly only a small % of people listen anyway. Swear on my friend and well done for standing up for yourself and well done on a very nice post.


edit:

btw ut2004 is still nice great job to all those who are active here

I think your ban should be removed but as previously pointed out, that would not fix anything because this is 3rd party related. Then again, the mod represent Epic and they ban for profanity but not when people are being internet Bullied... same thing happened with me

You're a bit out of context here though. Epics have already warned in one of the previous livestreams that if certain people will continue being immature and hostile to contributors they will have to take action to protect said contributors. When you spend weeks of your time working for free on a community project, angry words can strike really hard. There were people (well, I know at least one guy) who stopped contributing because of that.

i am one of them & that reply is a mute point.

With the exception of 1 project
- i have permission/ working with the concept artist from bioshock (jim martin) on a map for the new UT, that is all i will be doing.
here: https://unrealbyfusilade.wordpress.c...ournament-map/
- it is a shame the community is sour because i would love to do more of this cool stuff for the community. I don't need to be part of a forum just to work on my passion.

I am just saying to the OP, not a good idea to make a new thread because of this situation, why add fuel?.. but i do understand how he feels.

as you can see by my project my passion for Unreal is not diminished by mean people. P.s sorry if you think it was out of context, but the OP struck a chord with my feelings that is all.

[Aberiu]

I don't quite understand your previous post then. Bass was generally offensive, I remember some of his messages and this ban had to happen sooner or later.

[TKBS]

im not supporting if OP was or wasn't rude, im just sayign sometimes you can look beyond mere words and understand how someone feels. I never said it was right to do and i only wanted to make 1 post in the hope that someone else might not feel so let down.

Aberiu i have said starting this thread was not a great idea, i am entitled to express fair judgement and i never said i support being rude to people. please do not continue this discussion as i have more important things to do. Take a moment to absorb what OP has tried to do for community, then you might see why there could have been an "over-reaction".
oh and forgot to say sorry, i agree with your trolling statement, doesn't help much does it?

[bass3]

Yeah i was offensive, cause of people like "Sir_Brizz" as you said, the admin choose to close the thread cause it went offtopic and ban me instead people who were bashing each other. I saw it went offtopic and then I said some swear word, cause I wanted it to stop going that dirrection, and it didn't work... pointless arguments that have nothing to do with thread continued and finally admin closed the thread, ban me for "trolling", problem solved.
He has some contributor tag and friends with some of admins there i think, but whatever..

I deserved my ban also for trolling, maybe not lifetime, but who cares, I won't bother registering again there until game is released officially, just to give it a test drive, cause I already don't like it and I doubt it will get better until some mutators and mods are released.

And yeah trolling doesn't help, but also I don't see difference with trolling and going offtopic in every single thread, trying to prove your statements are better then someone elses even so it has nothing to do with thread, that guy spent like whole day writing a page of which i find ridicilous opinnions about new released game Toxikk and Unreal, and the best thing is->
He didn't even played Toxikk : - DDD

We can stop discussion here also, I just wanted you to know you don't have to be active there, trust me this community here we have is much smaller, and I look forward to mods and maps here in ut3 and ut2004 sections more then for new unreal.
I guess some people don't have nothing better to do all day, then refresh unreal forums 500 times a day, trying to get that "concepter" and "contributor" tags .

Where are contributor and concepter tags here, for people who made kickass mutators and mods? Hehe, just think about it . You people helped more to ut3 and ut2004 to stay alive then those guys now trying to get that tags.

[UnShame]

And yeah trolling doesn't help, but also I don't see difference with trolling and going offtopic in every single thread

The impression I got from reading that thread was that you started a thread, didn't like the direction it took and tried to derail the whole thing and then started annoying a particular user because you didn't like his opinion. I don't know if that's ban-worthy, but you probably wasn't in the right in that situation, don't you think?
