macro?Maybe don't macro next time?
It's in regard to hunting. I highly doubt this plays into a trade channel ban.macro?
@Ludvig|MindArk could you please enlighten us who is moderatin the #calytrade, for instance, and what the rules are for bans? Because this is the first instance of anyone i've heard of getting banned. It'd be nice to have those guidelines.

I wasn't aware it was a player running this channel. So any player can start a new channel? Excuse my ignorance.He's not the first one to be banned from those trade channels and probably won't be the last one. I agree totally would be nice to know what the rules/guidelines are. However, since it's not MA in charge of these channels it's up to the player(s) who moderate these channels to communicate the rules with us.
I'm not sure if MA are even allowed to name the player(s) in charge of these channels publicly as it may go against some data protection act (I forget the name of it).

nothing stops Mindark from taking over or removing moderators who are seen doing injust bans though.its none of mindark's business what happens in player-moderated channels

Considering this is their platform of which we are all guests I'd say everything that happens in the EU platform is in fact their business.its none of mindark's business what happens in player-moderated channels
Well hold on, I do like knowing who's on what planet for planet specific resources or shrapneltheir completely useless local "trade" channel that no one uses.
i mean you`re not wrong lol touchénothing stops Mindark from taking over or removing moderators who are seen doing injust bans though.
This person has operating alt. 1 I’m aware of. Maybe more.Wow, that's a terrible swing and a miss.
A simple look of the guy's avatar name would tell you that IS NOT Star Alex Gray.
Yeah... that's not the channel I'm talking about though lol the built-in local trade channel is just like local chat but a different color for "trading", it's not even planet wide.Well hold on, I do like knowing who's on what planet for planet specific resources or shrapnel
Oh XD Yeah that one is a waste.Yeah... that's not the channel I'm talking about though lol the built-in local trade channel is just like local chat but a different color for "trading", it's not even planet wide.
"...we recommend the /help feature..." HA HA HA HA gosh...
I love the "Take care and best of luck" they put there when they know what they recommended you to do wont help you."...we recommend the /help feature..." HA HA HA HA gosh...
Yes, typing "/help" gives a list of available chat commands. There you find "/listmembers", so you type it and at first get an error about wrong arguments which the help text did not inform is needed when you mean the channel you're already in. Nevermind, you type "/listmembers #calytrade" and... nothing, no error message. You try "/listchannels trade" to double check, the resulting list gives you all channels with "trade" in their name and the member count. You notice you didn't mistype, but the channel has >26k members which obviously can't be displayed all at once. For the heck of it, you try it with another one, e.g. "/listmembers #cyrene-trade" because it has only 2k members. This works, but the result is a truncated list of only a few names, also for obvious reasons. You eyeball it for '@'-signs which would indicate a moderator, but no luck, the excerpt seems totally random and there is no way of continuation (or if there is it's not documented). Also, there is no (documented) way to filter for mods or other markers. On the big channel, the failure might be because of a database timeout which is not detected for producing a meaningful message to the user.
All this has existed in its current state for as long as I can remember, and most likely has been reported before as lacking but was forever ignored. The help text does not meet the lowest standard even at the time of inception, compare it to a good old IRC documentation which probably served as a model at the time. I don't know if this chat came with the original game engine, hope they didn't try and reinvent the wheel there.
Anyhow, we're going pregnant with a totally new codebase for everything and there is grounds for hope. While we wait, can someone please reign in such asinine support, please? They obviously don't even know the game features in question every time and brushing off a user like that is... well youknowwhat.
Well they can't really say what they want to "don't bug us anymore and keep depositing."I love the "Take care and best of luck" they put there when they know what they recommended you to do wont help you.
Really this is all over unsolicited PMs?
a simply glance at calytrade will show you that macroing doesn't get you banned unless your macros are very aggressiveNow do you really think I have something to do with calytrade? You said it urself "I post every 15 minutes". That sound like macroing the trade chat. I need to explain so every lonely neuron can uderstand it. Peace I hope you get ur problem fixed.
