Banned for reporting.

[Lukie]

Basically i've just received a perm ban for reporting someone who came in to my room, whispered to me, "Nice room layout" he them tried prompting me to go on a website. I knew straight away that it was dodgy and reported him via the help tool, I said something along the lines of "He's telling me to go on a scam site, why is he doing this? Please ban him!" I'm not being funny, but the moderators these days are an absolute joke! I will not be reporting anyone spamming scam website again. Is it likely that i'll be unbanned? If so, how long does it usually take? Thank's in advance. :@

It takes a few days for a reply. I assume you've already appealed? If not go to the help tool and appeal. If all else fails, PM Redtiz on the forum and explain your situation

Did you send any CFH's before that, it may of been from a previous one.

Assuming CFH means call for help, the only other one i sent was where i asked if the un merged accounts were being deleted, but that was around lunch time! :S

I doubt that they banned you for that, unless they are looking for a sack.

What was the actual ban reason, this baffles me.

A guy came in to my room, he whispered "Nice room layout." blah blah, he then said "Go on to this website for credits" something like that, i went a long with him asking what the site done, knowing full well it was a scam. He then told me that he and his friends had done it and received special gifts. I reported him to the help tool and with in minutes i was banned. :rolleyes:

Why else would i receive a ban minutes later saying "You have been banned! The reason for the ban is "You have been banned until 27-08-2022 09:24:56. Giving out links to scamsites is not permitted."

Did you type the scam site at any point either in room or CFH?

I wouldn't be surprised if you got banned for seemingly going along with the scammer, talking about the website with him/her. That wasn't the smartest move on your part, you should of just kick banned him or reported him because, when moderators and investigating they are just going to be skimming though the chat log quickly, to have a brief idea of the situation. So if they read through it and see you talking about it then there's always a possibility they will mistakenly ban you because it looks like your promoting it.

If you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about, be persistent with them (but don't pester) and they will apologise and give your account back.

If you are telling the truth that is a seriously harsh ban.

Although, you screenshot did make me laugh

Repeat offences may mean we contact the police, or your parents.
