Accidental Autoban incident

Inazuma · Post by **Inazuma** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:45 am

Hi,

It's been a pretty long time since I've actually visited the website. Things appear to have changed quite a bit since the last time I was here. I don't know where else I should post this as I don't see any other means of contacting the admins. I accidentally triggered the autoban by changing a game room's name to "Newbie Training". The game was originally the main planet, but everyone moved to a different server. It was only me and a new player who didnt know how to play Alleg, so I made the game a private training session to show him basics of mining, the tech paths, how to fly a scout (probing, naning, etc) I think I triggered it with the word "Newbie" in the room name and I probably should have picked a better word, but if anyone would be kind enough to lift the ban I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

dont do that

by the time anyone reads this your bann will be over

Just in case you dont understand

Noob Newbie etc etc cannot in any way be in the server name

Enjoy your 7 hours off and come back later

...at least the timer is ticking *trololol*

edit:
It is amazing that his happens more than once a year, doesn't it...
...and that no one wants to fix it.

It works as designed.

So let's un-design it. It is more pain than it's worth.

This would be the proper place to post about connection problems and errors, so no worries there. But yeah, your ban time would be over by the time an admin could get around to reversing it. Unless, of course, you do it again.

Closing this thread as resolved.
