There is no legal system in the world in which you can be charged with guilt by association. Being arrested and held is different from being charged. I do not think you actually know much about how the police or law work.

There are a few RICO defendants that would take issue with this.

As to this fun filled game and this here thread, I am impressed(?) that this [ed] is still up.

I don't really understand why more than one person was banned when it was only one who said "the comment".

Does PGI not inform banned players why they are banned?
The players who did nothing wrong should at least be able know what they are accused of and
be able to contact support to reviewunfair bans.
Whats the point of temp bans if people are not informed of what they did wrong?
"You are banned but we wont tell you why so you can repeat it and be banned again"

And honestly i cannot picture scoops being banned , never heard of or seen anything remotely close
to be bannable from him.

Just re-iterating that the issue isn't the guy who said really really questionable stuff getting banned. As soon as we saw that, we told him he was an idiot and to expect a ban. The issue is the fact that probably half of our unit got two week bans without any kind of rhyme or reason. The bans included our leader, Scoops, who literally never says anything mean in all chat -- that's kinda his thing. In addition, people who weren't present in the game, or even playing that night (one account that was banned hadn't logged in for months!) got two weeks. On top of this, the ban emails totally missing reasons for the ban; usually we get specifics (actual quotes from ingame) about what exactly was offensive. Anyway, thanks for reading this block of text. Here's your reward:

I feel bad for those who were banned for no reason, banning a dude who crossed a line is ok, I don't report anyone but people who purposefully power down hidden in a match just to mess up everyone else for 10 minutes or more, but I won't tell other people what to find out-of-bounds either. I mostly replied to your post because, holy hell, your sig line is so busy I found myself alt-tabbing out to keep my sanity in check.

The sig has actual pics of all the members of NKVA in it. The one who looks like Han Solo is easy - guess which had tthemselves surgically altered to look like Link from Legend of Zelda?

I'd take the time to figure it out but I'm busy hunting down the last 2 Funko Pop! members of Baby Metal I need; Sui Metal is lonely on my shelf, though she does have hooded Cobra Commander and a Cylon for company.

My wife has a collection of Sailor Moon paraphernalia from Japan. Right above it is the diorama I made by combining the Playmobil Roman Arena set with the Playmobil Nativity Scene to make my own Throwing Christians to the Lions set. If I better trusted my skills at stripping Metadata from photos I'd post a pic.

I'd guess NKVA was banned on general principle, while I personally like them I recognize they are chatty jerks in game. I do miss the forum antics ... this game is lacking RP hatred and a bit boring without them. I could even understand that if that was the reason, I don't agree with it but I'd understand at least.

I would not be cool with a GP. That's pretty arbitrary. It utterly devalues bans in general.

Admittedly at this point I've seen people drop racial slurs in all chat hanging around while another group gets banned en mass for association and GP.

We normally love the antics of nkva in cw, the entertainment they provide during matches is priceless and we have no problem losing to them. That being said, when they crossed the line that night i suggested we show pgi direct screenshots of the situation and let them decide rather than use a brigade of report spams, what we did was the proper way to approach the situation. Are you saying we could have done things any differently?

I like my unit members and friends I drop with too much to ever be critical of your faction and its brave members. Your response was perfect and the caliber of company you keep beyond reproach.

[martytokes]

We didnt decide to target anyone, we sent the screenshots in and pgi decided what to do. Whatever punishment was dealt was given by pgi based on their involvement in that match. not rocket science people!

Something tells me SWOL will end up the villian in this story, which is ok. Wouldnt be the first time definetly wont be the last!

WTF? Googled Baby Metal expecting it to be an anime, get this instead? They are real people? Holy hell, this is gonna mess up my whole Pop! display....eff finding the other two, now I gotta sell Su-Metal and buy Megurine Luka to hang out with Hatsune Miku, Cobra Commander and the Cylon. I will not upset the sanctity of imaginary people on the shelf with Pop! figures of actual people. Also posted a picture of it, but it burst into a million data bits and hurt my eyes.

Wow, NKVA has a lot of fangirls on the forums for sure.

I missed most of the fun obviously, but maybe there is still time to hop on the wagon before it crashes? Maybe PGI processed this bans like they did with cheaters. We do not know if all were banned only because there has been a report now. It might have been just the end of a line of complaints.

Ah, and it was mentioned that other users get away with things NKVA does not. But maybe the question here should be how often they already got away with such insults and how frequent they are. Slips can occur, habits should not. There is a difference.

Just my two cents. Now go ahead, fangirls and whiteknight like the bosses you are.
