I was also just banned in chat for no reason like 15 minutes ago. I saw a veteran player bullying and lashing out at new players for asking basic, harmless questions. I stood up for the newer players and just advised that the veteran be kinder, and the veteran started saying that they had mod connections. Shortly after, the newer players and I were banned in the chat without a single warning.

I have screenshots. 

The game would be better for everyone, and more welcoming overall, if there were reliable moderators that actually used their abilities to issue warnings and bans in the right direction. 

Again, emphasis on "I have screenshots." I cant stand abuse of power. 

haha they just keeping certain treshhold for how many users must be present at the forum maximum :)) to keep us quiet. their bot is banning everyone from time to time, for basically no reason. so obvious conclusion is they dont want forum to grow. 

I was banned with my original name for a year too. i dont really care. the forum is useless anyway

Nah I was banned live in the game chat, not on the forums here. I dont ever use forums but I thought this might get attention here. 

Again, I have screenshots. If action isn't taken by the time my week long ban is over, ill post them here with the said players name and clan.

It'll be easy to rally other players who already have grievances with the current state and action of the chat moderators. 

thats very simple, you reply to anyone who gets banned later and you will likely follow them too :) the easiest is not to reply to any bully even if your comment is 100% friendly

Forum mods are pretty quick to lift forum bans caused by their auto spam filter. Hopefully one of them will see the OP soon.

Wouldn't hurt to include your forum user ID (of the banned account).
