3th ban: Deface - Multiple forums accounts; excessive swearing at GM's (I attempted to help this guy but he refused my assistance) (Banned)
4th ban: Iance - Consistent Harassment, creating community division, vulgar language in PM/Tells - Detailed in other thread (this is under review)
5th ban: Eashan - Administrative Ban (Due to threats issued to a host server- global host ban); multiple forum accounts.

I will post a report later detailing the 4th and 5th bans. I need to get additional permissions to share evidence.

It takes a lot to get banned permanently here. most will get a warning first and a chance to redeem themselves. aside from number 5 we have had free reign to temporarily suspend the member in one form or the other.

now, it seems like multiple people may have gotten caught up in that #5 ban, and the GMs mistakenly thought all those accounts were the same person. if that is true, i hope it gets cleared up. but yeah, only 5-7 bans so far, in a month and a half. so, definitely better GMing than The Sleeper. by this point in The Sleeper timeline Kegz had already banned like a dozen or more people, given a couple people the in-game title of "The Whiner," deleted a ton of Lodizal loot over a minor database error that HE made, and edited or deleted probably like a hundred forum posts that made him look bad. supposedly the TAKP forum crew have deleted a a handful of posts for similar reasons, but it is nowhere near the mass fascism campaign Kegz was running. there's at least a dozen threads on the TAKP forums right now that would have gotten a dozen or more players banned in-game on The Sleeper.

so, yeah, shit is a little wonky over at TAKP right now, but nothing surprising for a server that is in its infancy. comparing TAKP to The Sleeper is definitely unfounded.

nothing new here

Well I can only speak for my own ban, but most of what Speedz and Zarwayne have posted isn't rooted in reality. According to them I

"consistently harassed" the staff (my last PM to Speedz was on the 12th of January, telling him that I would stop posting bug reports, and I haven't talked to anyone on the staff directly since, not in PM and not in tells)
"created community division" (by simply voicing my opinion on the TAK forum and over here)
"used vulgar language in PM/tells" (which is completely fabricated)

The details can be found here: http://www.takproject.net/forums/vie...php?f=4&t=2613

Just going to quote 1 of the gems from that post here

But it seems like this is a special case as the person in question got somewhat of what I was expecting he was going after.
Which was community backing or partial backing of his attitude towards the staff and me specifically through social engineering and mental manipulation.

really, dude? It is called having an opinion and standing up for it. I am sorry that this doesn't fit into the Nazi scheme you have running over on the TAK boards.

Anyhow, I have tried appealing my ban but was ultimately shot down without any good reason. For all the bad things I have done there sure isn't a lot of evidence about it floating around. Not one single quote or log or screen shot of me "constantly harassing the staff in PM and tells". If it is all so clear cut, why hide it?


About the other bans:

Zamiel, deserved it. He may not have been boxing 6, and a RL friend of his got caught up in the banning, but AFAIK Zamiel was indeed automating the 3 accounts he truly was playing.

Mandalore basically got banned for posting his opinion on the forums. The posts in question are all contained in this thread http://www.takproject.net/forums/vie...t=2168&p=11179

Deface I can not comment on, nobody even knew about that ban until Zarwayne mentioned him

Iance we just talked about

Eashan got banned for prior beef with Rogaine, his RL friend Grimskull got banned (guilty by association), and 2 or 3 other people were banned for having Eashan log on 1 of their accounts, Xzerion being one of them. Good news is if you beg you might just get back your account.

As a closing point. I think the comparison with the Sleeper is quite justified. Both servers are run by bipolar psychopaths, on both boxes the truth does not matter, and both servers have a good following of asskissers to keep the person in charge secured into their delusion

Robregen, Cavedude, Torven and Secrets, keep doing the awesome work you are doing and thanks for everything ! [You must be logged in to view images.

Apio can I have your PKT?

I wish I could give away all my stuff, I would ! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

looking at the people you stated were banned, you (iance) and mandalore got banned for being rude, and dickish.

there is a way to offer constructive criticism without coming across as a rude person.

you also seem way addicted to this game, go outside, or read a book and come back to realizing how this is just a game, you have nearly 2k posts over 4 months dude. You might be working on complaining about takproject more than the developers are putting time into it.

[Paleman]

mandalore was definitely a fucking troll. Guy tells people he gets bored of eq by the time he is level 20, but has enough knowledge to chime in about 1 guild having the biggest roster to take out raid targets.

you guys need to step off da coco

It is called bug reporting. I should know, more than 80% of all my posts on that forum are bug reports [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
