From reading your rants and posts from this thread alone

This is way off topic, but what exactly do you see as a rant? I am curious.

I like to give people all of the information. So I try to give background. For some reason everyone who plays RTS (maybe all games) sees any discussion that does not fall inline with their thoughts as a rant.

For instance I gave some info one could perceive as a "rant" when I said I was a BLUE member on Org and was told to F off. The point of that sentence is, even as a member of this website team I was dismissed without any hard evidence. Meaning, you guys who are not members could be banned even easier than I was.

In truth, as a blue I was probably given a lot more latitude than you guys would. It is just a warning to you guys as users.


I try not to rant. But I will if it proves a point, gives background, or I find it funny. We all come here for entertainment.

It’s been said before, somehow linking an employees gender identity to game criticism isn’t relevant. You can be critical but you made it personal. Also your “This isn’t about me” “I don’t care” meanwhile LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME. Cringe. I don’t think they owe you anything and if they did comment you’d just use it to fuel your never ending crusade as you don’t discuss you just rant.

Are you ok bruh? Do you need a hug?

Fair enough. Your opinion is noted about the ban. I am not asking to not be banned. This is not about me. Nothing I post here is ever about me. I am asking for clarification to help others. That is why I came back the other day after saying "Just delete my account". I dont care. Personally I dont care about MY ban. I think it was the right call.

It's obvious why you got banned...

Great post filled with higher order thinking.

In a vacuum, my post could be seen as harassment. In the context of the ESG discussion, it makes perfect sense.

So what exactly triggered Relic? We will never know? Pictures? Asking if a person with a male name and female image is male/female? Saying Relic does weird crap to motivate their employees? I said 30 things that could be used for ban? Which one was it?

I guarantee if I sat John or Gabby down and explained each statement line by line to them, they would probably lift the ban. It was the logical next step of the ESG discussion.

But it is not reasonable for them to have to do this for every person who says something stupid. I will not waste their valuable time for my problems. I made the mistake of making too large of a post and made it funny so it is hard to understand. I should be punished.

This is why Sega/Relic says "You have no rights, you cant ask questions". Because they would have to pay someone to answer those questions. And that is bullshit. That is unacceptable.

Here is an easy example of what I would expect from a large gaming company.

Player: Calls someone a C@nt.
Relic: You are banned for code of conduct.

If the player is from Australia, they may not see anything wrong with saying C@nt. So how do they know why they got banned? What will stop them from saying it again? Do you remember everything you have ever typed in 100's of games? What was it that got you banned?

Nowhere does it say how long they got banned. As a player, how long would you wait? Someone banned you for no reason and never said anything about how long? I would never play the game again. I would tell everyone I know and post everywhere "Dont buy this game, the mods are insane".


The bare minimum in game response from Relic should be:
"You are banned for code of conduct rule xx. This ban will be lifted 2 weeks from the ban date. For further help please go to web page xxxxx"

Web page xxxx cant say "You are not allowed to ask us why or how long". The player will never know what happened and will get perma-banned next time.

There has to be some way to message Relic and discuss details of the issue.

For games on Steam, Relic should message you on Steam and state the actual reasons for being banned.
