If it is witnessed by a member of TeamNF then we can act. If not witnessed then we need
tickets with supporting evidence. I would love to trust everyone at their word when they
say I was teamkilled or this person bypassed the filter, but unfortunately I suspect there
are some that might abuse such a trusting approach.

Locked at request of OP. If you want it opened again, let someone know and we can do that
for you.

Thanks Vick for that reasonable response. If it weren't for the fact that players wont
get to read this post because it will get burried in the archives I'd say lock this post.

Without the lock to this post, the flamers will ineviatable start to trickle in. As Splid
stated in a post within the last few days, flamers will log in on alternates to spam
and flame on the forums. The unfortunate reality to what hasnt been said is that
without a complaint/ticket the forum moderators and in-game moderators are under
no obligations to take actions against those that break the rules.

Is this a correct assumption by me?

You are seeking black and white answers to issues that are invariably not as clear cut as
you intimate. Unfortunately, at times we do have to use suspensions to educate players as
to what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Repeat offences of a similar nature
will often attract an escalation in the length of time the suspension applies for. Also,
the number of offences may also attract an escalation in our response. However, if the
offence is serious enough in the outset there is nothing to say we have to start small
either - attempts at cash sales being but one example.

The term permanent is often misused as well. What it actually means in NF is a
non-defined period of time. We sometimes use it to close off access whilst we investigate
ownership claims for instance - that is never intended to be any longer than it needs to
be, but the category selected is Permanent. Temporary suspensions can be placed in day
increments up to a max of 30, so if it is felt a suspension should be longer than 30 days
then Permanent will be used again. That does not necessarily mean that we wont release it
at some point in the future if we genuinely feel that the lesson of the suspension has
been learnt.

If you have a complaint and you submit a report you will normally receive some feedback on
any action taken. It might not contain all the detail, but you will get an indication.

We dont give out individual stats and have no intention of changing that.

We can track alternates reasonably easy with the logs and start up information, if we find
a need to.

The rules broken the most in-game tend to be language and teamkilling I would say.

On the forums probably spamming or persistent posting of threads that have been removed
previously.

What a Inane Question...This is the reason Vets are Qutting by the scores. 6 Years ago NF
was close to being a Simulation...Now its Kiddie Field :(

Well, that's a brilliant post.

4th account here.........they even tried to IP ban me LOL

a simple phone call to my isp fixed that lol

An open discussion of the bans that have been served in this game would be
depressing for the player base, at large, to read about.

*How many bans does it take to get a permanent ban?*

There is no such thing as a permanent ban here. Permanent = about 6 months here. . .

Again... *yawn*
