Hello
i recieved a ban warning for random spamming company invite's to people....
is this really leading to a ban ? of is this some kind hack mail...
don't blame me for raging people that is getting company invites randomly...maybe add block company invites first instead of ban warning people who play's everyday and help new peeps with there questions in game...
really dissepointed if this is a real mail ... if they watch me like a gold seller / hack site link spammer..i wil definetly quit this game ...
so please give me more info about real or fake mail...

I don't think the people are raging, but most do find it a bit rude to just randomly invite people to a company.

Paying for this game or not, suspicious activity, is in fact suspicious activity. They have all rights to watch you, however, what needs to happen are actual investigations. Not a system automated ban or ban warning based on tells or invites.

I'm glad this is happening. Before the world transfer allowed me to rejoin my friends and form our own FC I was constantly spammed with invites and it was just as irritating as the RMT activity.
I'm still pissed at the amount of FC recruitment driving that floods my chat log every day. The sooner SE initiates an ingame board specifically for FC's to recruit the better. -

I don't agree with with your methods of of recruiting but I'm slightly annoyed that SE gave you a ban warning for that rather than issuing them to selfish CM afkers.
That's if the email is legit though, please update us ;-) -

It's very annoying to get random FC invites and I think you've gotten what you deserved. Atleast if you make adds in chat, people will be able to send you a tell if they are interested.
Your FC wouldnt happen to be "The Dark Mortals" by any chance, because then I truely understand that you got a ban warning, because that is one overly spammy FC. Infact it's the only FC I can recall getting a random invite from on several several occasions. Me and some friends more or less have this game "Guess who just sent me an FC invite", and damn me in all nine worlds if the answer isnt "The Dark Mortals". -

Even you admit you were spamming. Why is it surprising to you that you were warned for this? Be glad it was just a warning.

so you get a ban warning but i still have a shitload of people who are blacklisted for spamming gold selling sites which nothing has been done with i have seen a total of 3 deleted. i am not saying that what you are doing is much better just that the gil seller spam is breaking at least twice as many rules as you if not more since they are spamming something that is also against the rules. they need to get their priorities straight

Would not surprise me if some one reported you for harassment if you invited them more than once. Most people find random FC invites rude, some even to the extent of reporting you. It wouldn't surprise me if you were reported and that lead to GMs watching you. But if you are random spamming FC invites, I'm sorry but you kind of deserve it. Either ask people first or shout and wait for people to send you a tell for an invite.

You invite over 500 people a day to your FC? That would be spamming yes ESP if you repeatedly send the invites to the same people, and you prob are. Another thing is don't EVER send a blind FC invite - it's rude, tacky, unprofessional, and just weird. You need a temp ban for harassment, and if you continue your methods I would support a full ban based on harassment.
SE should not have to implement things to control your actions when your perfectly capable of controlling your own actions... Or are you? -

Check the "Inappropriate behavior" section of the Prohibited Activities in Final Fantasy XIV
under "Spam". For more info perhaps. It may not even be another player reporting you but just the STF noticing it. They are constantly being qued about RMT spam so it is likely they are trying to cut back on this behavior because spam is spam no matter what it says in the spam.
-
11-03-2013, 04:53 AMAmnesiaSounds perfectly appropriate. Hopefully you will take the warning to heart and stop that behavior...Quote:

Well to me it's alright to maybe say something in area chat for recruitment every 15-20 minutes, traveling between the more populated areas doing this as well, and not spamming invitations to everyone. Really the only people you should invite are those who send tells back to you. It can get annoying(and apparently suspicious) being spammed to death with invites, especially if you've already declined them once before.

11-03-2013, 02:26 PMRoezIt's rude as hell. Perhaps OP shouldn't be lazy or over zealous.Quote:

And as the OP says, he/she is running a social raiding guild, you would expect them to communicate with the players before tossing random invites i.e being social.

I hate random invites. This is why I usually make a storage guild on new servers before i join a real one. It is rude to just spam invites. It is distracting as well. I don't mind recruiters who shout their messages, i can just block them when i have time. But invites leave a popup on my screen till it expires or i respond to it.

And I will report harassment if i get invited by the same person 3 times in a 10 minute period after declining.

Not sure how you expect your members to stay or be what you expect them to be.
Apart from the fact that i would never accept a random FC invite without even someone talking to me is even less likely.
That's like leaving your house door open and allowing anyone off the street to just walk into your place. Of course you will get a few decent people but those will be 1 in 1000 since decent people don't just walk into someone else's property, see where this is going?
Anyhow just my opinion. -

Heh I thought FCs don't hold more than about 528 people?
So saying you invite more than 500 a day is a load of BS
You're just as bad as the people in WoW who stalk newbie areas and throw invites over and over and over to stroke your FC e-peen quota even though people decline and ask you to stop.
If someone did that to me, I will and have, reported it for harassment. -
11-04-2013, 05:09 AMbuttfishhe said he invites that many he didnt say that many join but i agree with the rest of your postQuote:

I do find Random Tells to be harassment, ESPECIALLY since Gold spammers do it as well.
