Important differences:
- A Boot is when a commander kicks you off his team.
- A Lobby boot is when a Game Controller kicks you off the server.
- A Ban is when the admins have blocked your account from joining the online servers. This will normally be because you broke one of either the Terms of Service or the Rules of Conduct
Effects of a ban
A ban forbids the user from logging onto Allegiance for a given period of time.
A ban does not come into effect until the player tries to log on to ASGS (the player is immediately logged out if they're playing when the ban is issued). Once they have done so the timer starts ticking, and ASGS will refuse to let them log in until it reaches zero - displaying the time remaining on their ban instead.
Dealing with a ban
Things to do
- Attempt to log in to start the timer counting down.
- Take some time out to consider how it came to be.
- Consider the nature of this multiplayer community, and the reasons behind it's ban policy. (Or behind any gaming community, for that matter.)
- Remain calm.
- Remember that we're all here to have fun!
- Remember that multiplayer games aren't the 'be all and end all'. Go for a walk in the park. Buy your girlfriend flowers. Talk to, and get to know your neighbors. Help someone. Travel to unknown and distant lands in order to improve yourself...
- PM BlackViper if you think there is a problem regarding the nature or circumstance of your ban. (he's the 'top dog', as it were). If you cannot PM email him. Just make sure you're coherent if you choose to do so.
Things not to do
- Rant.
- Create a commotion around your ban. This will only serve to increase the disdain towards you.
- Whine (sorry, but people do). See previous point.
- Feel that the Alleg community is shunning you. It isn't. Once a ban is served, everyone is glad to see you back.
- Give up Multiplayer gaming as a result of your being banned. (We're all human... mistakes happen)
