Request: Forum Account Termination

Login Name: Renor

So, I got the following message in my email this morning. I contacted support as it suggested at the bottom, but they informed me that there was no way that they could appeal this decision because the forum is run by the forum administrators and they didn’t have any contact information. They suggested that I get a friend to post my appeal for me on the official forums, so that is what I am presently doing.

Apparently I had received multiple warnings, but this is a first time offense as far as I know within a significant amount of time, and no warnings were received before the termination of my account. The only other time I can recall having a run-in with the forum staff was during the closed beta of ARR which was several years ago, now I agree that my behavior was inappropriate in this instance, but I feel that a permanent suspension is a little heavy handed (no warnings were given to cease and desist). I’d like to take steps towards amending things, and if possible appealing my permanent ban.
