Shit, I hope they don't get mad at the rate I intend to sell my 100 or so cured rugged hides.

A former GM once had a Q&A section on the SA forums and he was asked something along the lines of "If I send multiple tickets about an issue will it get resolved quicker than sending just one?"

And his answer was something like; GM's read every ticket sent and place flags on your account if its a waste of time but if you send multiple tickets they usually just resolve your issue out of annoyance so you won't pester or annoy them anymore with ticket spam"

I'll have a look around for the thread in question if I can find it

I am in the US Army, and my account was suspended for a while while I was stationed in Korea. Another tank in my unit was studying overseas in China, and similarly got banned...we both got our accounts back, but their reasoning was "We noticed your account was being regularly accessed from a region different from the billing address, and were afraid the account had been compromised." Duh...my billing address is my home in California, similarly for our other tanks. Took him about a week to get his account back, took me a little longer but we both DID get our accounts back.

Were you purchasing items from farmers? Along with the already explained suspicious activities on your account, if your guild bank had been purchasing vasts amount of dreamfoil or certain items from farmers this could make you look very much like a hub for farmers.

they are all tagged with the guild name followed by their purpose

Banned until Sunday. Perhaps in that time, you'll find your profile, capitalization and punctuation.

Hehe, poor guys getting the ban stick all over. Hopefully both their accounts will be unbanned by then.

Say what you like about being a grammar Nazi, enforcing decent approximations of correct english will at least make people think twice about what they are posting.

Hey, he said approximations. Or maybe he was talking about pool.

Anyway, personally anyway, I always check a poster's IP before warning him about bad grammar -- if you post from a foreign country, you get more leeway. Sorry, Australia doesn't count.

:unsure:

Yes, definitely most people will only produce an approximation of proper English. It would be nice to live in a world where we all read well formatted literature (perhaps something by Bujold or Banks) every day, and kept our written communication skills in fine form.

Sadly, we mostly type hurried snippets to each other as we do other things, and get a bit rusty. At least on this forum I always try to go over what I've written before I post and make sure:

1 - I'm actually saying something useful, and not just blathering.

2 - I'm not butchering the only language I know TOO badly. (For example, I avoided the word grammar because I simply wasn't sure wether it was grammAr or grammEr, but now at least I can blame Preatorian if I'm misspelling it here.)

PS - And yes I am aware that some people think puncuation does not belong immediatly before an end parenthesis, but I prefer a more programmatical approach to parenthesis, wherein an entire sentance could be denoted as an aside and yet not be cut off from its punctuation.

You can blame who? ;)

OK, OK, I'm done.
