Facts:
Yesterday I gave someone a warp lift to Arkadia. Whilst there I thought it a good idea to give someone or people a lift back to Calypso so as to reduce my costs. Warping back without paid passengers would only be an economic loss.
This nearly got my account temporarily locked.
Below is a chat log of all that I said yesterday on Arkadia in local chat and trade chat. Please note I deleted chat from this file that was not relevant to to my chat i.e. messages of people logging in and out, messages by other players which are not relevant, society chat (i don't think I said anything in soc chat so it's also irrelevant).
At this stage I decided to fly back to calypso on my own since I had to visit some auction items and some other matters to attend to on Calypso. I flew up to my mothership and was about to warp out when suddenly I'm transported back on Arkadia quarry tp.
Here an avatar named , "MindArk Official Assistant Lich" starts a private message conversation with me. I don't want to get this thread locked or deleted so I can't post that transcript as posting private messages is against forum rules.
What I can say is he threatened to temporarily lock my account for disrupting an event.
My own thoughts:
If you check my log above I think it's pretty obvious I didn't do anything that justifies a temp lock. Also there was an avatar there clearly trapping mobs as shown in this thread: https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?257788-Is-this-cheating
To my mind someone like that would be far more deserving of a temp lock i.e. someone that appears to ignore all messages and continues to trap mobs. Which we know is against the eula.
In short the behaviour of this avatar named, "MindArk Official Assistant Lich" doesn't seem to reflect the behaviour of someone in MindArk at all or someone in MA support. It seems to me as if MindArk have given Arkadia access to an official avatar so that ark have access to greater powers which we previously thought only MindArk had access to.
Reasons for thinking this is a catalogue of "errors" in private messages apart from a threatening me with a lock he/she also wanted me to leave Arkadia. At first offered to directly place me on Calypso. When I had agreed to that they changed their mind and said don't you have a mothership you can fly back. Which seemed another kind of way to demean me. The response was quite irrational and making a mountain of trivial issues, although worded in a nice business like manner i.e. polite and everything it didn't seem to fit the alleged crime. It was apparent to me I couldn't have a conversation with this individual seemed more like to me if I say anything he didn't like he would lock my account there and then. In my opinion this is a gross misuse of power.
In my opinion the behaviour does however reflect that of Arkadia which is a "dictatorial" regime. Who would go out of their way to silence any dissenting voices. Seems to me they place dissenting voices a higher priority than someone who is trapping. Why was this person who was trapping mobs consistently not dealt with? Surely that person is more deserving of a lock than someone saying the event is bad.
Looking back at my log above I still fail to see anything in there that warrants such a reaction. It just beggars belief that some can abuse their power so much.
