Just seems like ban now, don't ask questions later, then ban some more.
Speak to people who have been banned before you make this statement. We usually speak to people before forming a judgement on each case, unless of course the proof shows blatant disregard for the rules, and even in that case if an issue is raised regarding our judgement we will review it. Its actually gather information, review information, ask questions, review some more, discuss, execute result.
Look how many people are getting banned for having 2 accounts, when I can almost say for 100%, 1 account was never used, or used once. Then the password was forgot or such.
You cannot say for 100% that one account has never been used for people who have been banned for multi-accounts, so please get your facts correct before tell us these things, as all you are doing is reducing the quality of your overall comments. There have been many cases where people have had multiple accounts and we have taken no action, why? because they have obviously never used the account and the creation of it was an accident. You don't get to know about these cases because they never see public light (which is the way it should be).
Heh, I guess they opted against a final warning or a grace period?
Incorrect, final warnings have in fact been given to people who have had multiple accounts. We also give people the option of coming forward with multiple accounts, and as such will reward them with a shorter ban.
I'm still curious when we'll learn about the decisions on previously addressed items to the committee's docket.. but alas, the unbelievable decision to make the committee's forums private, as if to say we're not entitled to know what's being discussed in DP's future... what good is a committee if the community (the remaining 95% of DP players) has no idea what the hell is going on?
This has been answered in this thread and elsewhere, but I'll reiterate for you. We use information that should not be available to the general public, doing so would be an irresponsible act to those people we investigate. I do not believe making the forum private is an unbelievable decision, in fact I'd go as far as to say making it public would be an unbelievable decision.
Of course you and everyone who plays this game is entitled to know whats being discussed regarding the this games future, this is what
this thread is for. We are not making decisions about the future of this game, we are merely investigating breaches of rules that were in place long before the idea of a committee was created.
If our responsibilities do change, and we do have a focus on the future of the game, of course we will converse any and all information to the Community. We will NOT make decisions on the future of this game by ourselves, doing so would be a massive disservice to the Community which makes this game as great as it is.
Bix, y00tz, I for one am glad you post your feelings like this, being able to answer them I hope, satisfies you that we won't do anything to harm this game, or make decisions privately that need The Community's input.
