User blog comment:Thane Mantis/So I got banned from the forums/@comment-6969786-20160402155221/@comment-6969786-20160403222517

There is nothing that has not been stated by others on the forum in your post. However I have never seen it that organized and formatted before. LOL.

I can see how Sulaco could take it very personally because its a direct comment on how he is doing his job. But I'm still a little surprised you got banned for it. My guess is that you were prominent enough of a poster that he actually cared what you thought. If you were a 1 time poster then he probably would have ignored it.

I don't agree with a lot in the post but I think that is because I come from the business side of the equation so its easier for me to see why they do the things they do. This doesn't mean I always agree with them, just that I understand why they make some of the choices they do in both the game and in dealing with the forums. For most others who come from purely a consumer side I can also see their point of view and sometimes as a consumer I feel the same.

Hell just on the wiki I sometimes have users tell me that I should do something and its not easy to explain why I don't think its a good idea. I sometimes have to make a decision based off of experience or a lot of other factors and trying to explain that to the user in just a text post is virtually impossible. Even when their suggestion is valid it doesn't make it the best choice once it is considered with other factors. I try to be a polite with them as possible when explaining why I'm not going with their idea but their have been times where I simply ignored them because I knew there is no good way to explain my choice without being able to TALK directly with them ( and I mean talk not type ). And I have the advantage of knowing everything that is going on with the wiki. I ultimately make ALL the decisions ( some don't work out but .... ). Sulaco and others from kixeye that deal with the public do not have all the info and are under CONTRACT to be very careful of what they say. So by default when it doubt they don't reply either because they personally don't know the answer, because they are told not to or because explaining is way to complicated to answer.

All this being said I don't think what you posted was worth a perma-ban. But I don't have a ton of people telling me I suck on a daily basis.

You can still play with your account correct? It was just a forum ban right?
