KORBATRON 0 Posted January 22, 2019 Why would a whole company be banned for one person writing a sign? If i make an account and join a large crew and spam racist signs i can get all those players banned for no reason how is this fair? Can't racist/offensive signs lead to not being able to write in game anymore over not being able to play. To just get a perm ban with no warming for being in a tribe seems harsh. Why is there no profanity filter in place? Handing out a perm ban for writing something that the game is letting you say, no matter what it is, just seems unfair even more so to ban a WHOLE company for it. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorf 73 Posted January 22, 2019 Well if I were in a company and someone did that I would no longer be in that company. Guilty by association I guess. Can it be exploited to get people banned? Yes, if you're willing to get banned for it too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KORBATRON 0 Posted January 22, 2019 There was no chance to leave i came online and was globally banned and found out why after the fact it's an irl friend and he told me about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coggage 239 Posted January 22, 2019 Yet another reason I'll never join a company, along with some members using cheats, hacks and destroying the stuff everyone has worked for from inside the company. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh just wait, there will be an elitist comment soon about how this game was never meant for solos. 10 minutes ago, KORBATRON said: There was no chance to leave i came online and was globally banned and found out why after the fact it's an irl friend and he told me about it. First, my opinion is, this is good news. It means either the WC team is starting to enforce their rules of conduct or that BattleEye is up and working. Because BE normally only bans cheats and hacks, it's likely this ban came from WC themselves. In your specific case, you are guilty by association. Depending on how long you were in that company it may be difficult to believe that you had no idea the member was a racist and that you don't condone that fact. In the US the first amendment gives you the right to free speech and it's true, you can say whatever you like, whenever you like. That does not mean that you won't face the consequences of doing so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaiTash 156 Posted January 22, 2019 Well on the other hand you can steal the admin's steam account password and start spawning planes and stuff and without your whole company getting banned. That guy in your company should've done this instead. Twice. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocHolliday 366 Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah exploiting dev accounts using the password "God" is only a slap on the wrist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dexter 31 Posted January 22, 2019 Do you expect them to spend an hour investigating each case? They see what they see, do what they do, next case. Complaining here wont do anything (unfortunately). As they'd say, be careful with who you recruit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpionshawn 134 Posted January 22, 2019 Oh well thats the price you pay for joining a big company pal! Easy fix!!! Is small company only and if there is 10 people its not hard to get to know the group your hanging with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is more to insiding than just this one part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHeid 79 Posted January 22, 2019 This seems like a strong action if your telling the whole story. Somehow I doubt it though. Whatever though just make new steam accounts and start over. It's still early access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KORBATRON 0 Posted January 22, 2019 Well im telling you the whole story im a reasonable person if i felt i deserved this i wouldn't of even made an account or post i just think its crazy one person can get a whole crew banned for writing something the game doesn't even censor. Its not like the game has a profanity filter and he got clever with symbols its straight up allowed to be typed and yet i can never play again with no warning for something i didn't do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now i do not know where you are from but to me its straight fucked up. This is exactly how Ark was managed or mis-managed. Whole tribes were either dev wiped or banned. Atlas needs better game mechanics. Otherwise leaving it in the hands of the players just turns it into Lord of the Flys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
