Topic Resolved.

In this post I'm going to attempt to get straight to my point(s)...

First, how is it that my other account (Warden) got banned on the forum for something I did in Warcraft 3? I read the rules over and over, I looked for other rules- nothing pertains to creating multiple accounts in Warcraft to join Clan RotD and/or affiliates of it. So tell me, how is it that the account which I speak of has been banned? Was there a hidden post or a post that I missed leading to a rule that would ban for multi-joining RotD or SPOR? If so please link me to the post containing the rule, I'm dieing to know.
Second and lastly, as we all know from this post and past actions I have multiple (2) accounts registered on the forums, does that mean Nuby will join Warden in being banned? Or are these newly founded rules going to only affect actions from its creation forward?

Thank you for your time. Oh, and please give me a 24-hour notice before banning me (if I persuaded you to).

It does not specify creating multiple accounts to join the forum or the Warcraft 3 RotD clan(s) (spam the clan(s) or the forum with random inactive accounts), please correct it and make it clearer and easier to understand. (I was banned for creating multiple accounts to join the Warcraft 3 clan known as SPOR (which, on a side note, was a childish joke).)

P.S. This is an add-on to my point about banning Warden for creating several accounts to join a RotD-related clan: I realize an administrator was irritated by my action relating to the RotD Warcraft 3 Clan, but does that really give you a reason to ban my forum account? I mean seriously- there is and was no rule connecting the clan to the forums anywhere.

P.P.S. Also, what gives an administrator the right to edit my tutorial about setting Wc3 to window mode? There was nothing offensive or inappropriate in it, and it was also easy to understand (if I am wrong and it wasn't easily understood you could have just told me what to fix before banning me).[b]

P.P.P.S. As you can probably tell by this post and by how hard I have worked on it, I am furious about past actions... but all I want is redemption to what appears in my eyes to be intolerable acts.

You do make a valid point, as well as there is no evidence that states you cannot have more than once account on the website and for that im sorry .

But, members must also have common sense. We are always trying to clean and maintain the site and clan. Users with multiple accounts don't make that any easier, nor is an additional account needed for any reason expect for the exception of bots.

In terms of your tutorial. It was not any negative reason. It was simply to add photos, as people like to be able to see what they are doing. Yes we could of asked you to add it, but at the time of the edit you were already banned. There was no need to create a new post for it as you had already created one, so it was used.

I may be wrong, but if your tutorial did had pictures. It could of been the pictures were not working anymore (i do recall seeing a tutorial with pictures stopped working after awhile, not sure if its yours) which is why it was edited, as that is the reason shown for it being edited.

Also. Staying in the tutorial note. If you re-read the Forum rules, specifically under Moderation its clearly shown . . .

"The owners of RotD Community Forum reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason."

We wouldn't ban you for asking what happened

Okay, I see your point, but am still a little ticked off about how my tutorial was edited without permission- oh well, it was in the rules I guess.


Have fun administrating the forums and the clan, as well as working on both Vampirism Ultra and RotD! Also, thank you for all your help.




The only thing I'm not clear about is the rule about not being allowed to generate and register a multitude of accounts, like is it referring to the RotD clan or the forums? Sorry if my posts look childish and make it seem as if I'm whining, but would you mind editing the rule to show if it is referring to the clan, the forums, or both?

You can always make a new one. I'd replace it with the new one too. if you'd like

Sweet deal. I think once I get more ram I just might do that- but only if I make a tutorial worthy of replacing another... I'm not going to deprive members of information just because I feel mistreated.

You were banned under the old rules, which got replaced by these. The older ones are no where to be found.

theyre forbidden.

Actually I thought I could be banned for the following reason:

• Creating multiple accounts on the site

Not for asking what happened =3

There is no need to apologize, for there is actually evidence that states "Registering with multiple accounts" is against the forum regulations, as I have posted it in the starting post aswell... I will post it here once again:

Although I am still confused as to whether or not this rule is implying you may not 'register with multiple accounts' on the forum or Warcraft 3 (is it referring to the forum or Warcraft 3?).

To be honest, I'm not so sure if my tutorial did in fact have images, but I truly believe it did.

To conclude my post, I believe the "the owners of the RotD Community Forum" should not only state the reason but it must also be legitimate (because there are those types of administrators that would just remove comments because they were angry at the person), for example:

Good reason: The tutorial had no images, and was hard to follow- so I added images and organized everything.

Bad reason: I removed this post because this person kicked me from a game on Warcraft for spoofing.

Nuby, you were banned from the website because you chose to make serveral accounts in the clan. Not the forum. Under the new forum rules you're only allowed one account.

Alternates in one clan is completely retarded and is not allowed. From my stand point.

"Retarded" is such a mean and un-welcomed word, I'd prefer it if you had used 'inappropriate' or simply not used "retarded" at all... =P lol

If I remember correctly... my three or four accounts that joined didn't really make SPOR's capacity 100%, now did it?

I know the reason for being banned, just not the reasoning behind the reason. I joined SPOR with several accounts, not the forum... so why ban me on the forum?

Although I, too, feel my act was idiotic and was a blatant disregard for our fine administrative team's hard work in maintaining a fun and exhilarating gaming environment... but I can't help but feel as if a ban was a bit overboard.

Personally I would have simply waited for the aliases' probationary periods to be done with then kicked them, and gave the person a warning (for spam; creating various accounts to join the clan is still considered 'spam', as it's considered in many cases as 'spamming' of accounts) on the forum to call it good.

But I understand it must have been frustrating for our staff to think when they have so much on their plate- so I guess in some sense your decision was okay.
