You're welcome to speak ill of a product...but do it somewhere else on someone else's dollar. That's why the OP was banned.
That's why the ban was legitimate.

I was permantly banned from the official forums. here was my post
"What makes you think this game will be any different? I don't think small companies have the resources to pull off a complete MMORPG."
Those 2 questions dont seem overly harmful...unless its a game your working on. Perhaps you should have rephrased them something more like this :
What are some of the things you all are working on to lower the risk of the game tracking down the road of some of the recent games that didnt fair well?
and
From what we have seen small companies have to work with limited resources, what expectations should we have for a full ready to play game?
Sometimes these softer questions dont draw the wrong kind of attention from mods. May not get a straight answer, but probably wont be banned either. I agree the ban seemed a bit harsh for honest questions like those, but if the mods arnt part of the company they are far more dangerous to the posting population then Devs usually are.
Even worse, with written text, since your not sitting in front of the devs or mods, they can only assume the tone when reading it. Thats always going to be an issue with forums.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Playing: Not much actively. Games played: to many to list, been playing MMO's since 2001 --------------------------
Note he has 2 posts, the other is an entirely neutral post and yet banned is still questionably stamped under his name.
The corrupt mods are also quite in favor of longer registered members over newer ones lending them slack and warnings over IRC and PM before taking action on any of their mistakes, newer members face bans, blocks and locks without question. Also information is freely available to the older registered members and subsequently kept there by the ignorant few who enjoy the mild cache of soon to be released material, over sharing it with a yearning community filling slowly with DF 'non-compatibles' and the slightly interested.
Because of the boring forum and even more boring (or watchfully tame) community, people should just register for beta and leave. (Any questions will be locked by the aptly named Judas (of free information)) And return only once you see more information being posted in this forum
Hopefully the gameplay makes up for the over-regulated forums and the pathetic breachers of power geek moderators (SV clearly dug from the ashes of central, mid-20th century Europe) and like the second thread our freind Darkalect innocently posted in, doesn't collapse under the weight of an over-used U3 engine.

Who knows what he posted which was deleted? Those two posts clearly weren't the reason for banning him, ... right?
Unfortunately thats not true. I was browsing the second thread he posted in when they still had the post count under the name and I saw this guy with a long name and 2 posts who was not banned. A few days later on the same thread he was, with no new posts. Curiously I checked what his first post was as it should have caused quite a stir. Alas no, it was as innocent as the greeting. I stopped lurking for fear of being removed in case I saw something I shouldn't have and ended with the same fate.
SV should re-examine who they have representing them, and despite it being no where near a game breaker it really leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. No one appreciates being over moderated. Especially on a forum so slow..

right. he wasn't banned for that post like he's making everyone think for whatever reason. he got banned for having multiple accounts and trying to abuse the reputation system. basically, he made several alts so he could spam people with negative reputation... he was an idiot, and he got caught. end of story.
some of you seem to be unable to grasp this... but just because someone only has 1 post, does not mean they got banned for that one thing they posted. there are other ways for people to be banned besides simply posting. creating multiple accounts to sign up for beta multiple times or sending harassing PMs to other community members to name just a couple. i admit, the forum moderators are a little strict, but it isn't nearly as bad as some of you people are making it out to be.

I was permantly banned from the official forums. here was my post
"There have been a lot of small companies trying to make revolutionary sandbox pvp games. Dark and Light, Roma Victor, Mourning, Shadowbane and now Darkfall. And they all have been failures. What makes you think this game will be any different? I don't think small companies have the resources to pull off a complete MMORPG."
I don't see anything banable in that. Its seems that the mods in that forum are even worse than the Darkfall forums. This isn't a good sign. It show sthat they have something to hide.
lol @ OP. First off, how many MMORPG's have you been developing? Hell, are you even working with developing and know the difference between developing your own engine, och leasing one? Enough said, with a great engine like UE3 you save a couple of years and can focus on the game, instead of how to get the game running.
And second, why should they even bother answering your statement?
I can agree a ban is a bit rough, but I rather have it that way then the MO forums turn into a messy, childish DFO forum. I dont mind they being hard, I mean , how hard is it to play it cool and follow the rules? And for you that mentioned all should sign up for beta and leave?? Haha, GL testing it!
I am eagerly wating for MO, especially when DFO was such a failure for me; Bad gfx, no content that they told will be in and buggy! MO FTW!

This quote and the first above reply are perfect proof of my two points.
The first is the boredom suffered by the boards and the community. Poor poster went and figured out the back story to Darkalect's banning as yes, there was nothing else for a MO supporter to do on the forum or IRC. Why? totalitarian governing and lack of information to discuss. SV has a mildly good reputation with communication, in reality it is very limited, vague and like the monthly updates on the front page, not complete.
The second is the prevalent favoritism. Should any player be able to dig into another persons affairs? And how would they go about doing that? Ask a mod they have gotten to know over a period of time. Probably the same mod who banned this guy and without any consent gave out information, why? Because a long term follower wanted it...What else do they know, what else can they get? Will this differ once the game is released? There are questions currently hovering over DF with GM's possibly influencing game play. Despite the MO mods being mods and not GMs currently, who knows what role they may play in future MO endeavors. And if they are willing to look the other way or be sly in their information supply..Who knows what will happen when the game goes live..
These aren't very good signs. And my two cents if the questionable research done by the quoted is true. That guys two posts don't seem like they are really the grounds for ban, alt or not. If he used them to get beta invites maybe, but I remember clearly that this happened well before beta being announced...

first point: nope, sorry. i didn't spend any time figuring out the back story. i'm the one that reported him for having multiple user accounts, shortly after which he was banned. i didn't have to spend more than 1 second to figure it out either because he was an idiot.
second point: no. wrong again, there was no favoritism. i reported him, the mods said "we'll take care of it," and he was banned immediately afterward.
so for the third time.. he was banned for having multiple user accounts in order to abuse the forum rep system, not for the couple posts he made. in fact, the only reason his account has only a couple posts is because it's just one of his many alt accounts (he had at least 3, probably more).
PS: nice work using wild assumptions to serve your own agenda, i'm impressed! yet another reason why i should know never to visit these boards.

LoLz you just proved everyone of hit points again.
I don't think they are all that bad, but the forum does suffer a little bit from zealous moderation. They lock threads and those disappear to the abyss, then next week someone posts the exact same topic. If they they took the time to organize their stickies a bit better the forum wouldn't look so " lock happy ".

Correct, and if we look at lachrymos's join date on the MO forums and interaction with mods/devs we can clearly see why she would take this position. One of Pure defense, lachry wanted someone banned, look what happened..who knows what the guy was annoyed at and neg repped lachy for, but apparently that's worth being banned over. "Abuse of Rep system" what a joke..
This favoritism will spill over into the game, point will be proven when we look at her char in 3 months after release..how'd she get that? they will ask....
Conclusion Ban Lachy, she knows too much due to your unfair mods/devs. Show us that MO will be a fair game...I'm sorry but here is your chance to take a stance MO....
Edit: You would have needed help to figure out your rep problem because rep is anonymous on the forums lachy...this holes getting pretty deep.

Why even play DF when AoC has finally released the game they should have released a year ago.
Don't believe me? Fire up the new DX10 version with new content and bug fixes and droll over the Active combat system and tell thats it's not the best out. If you wanna call thios a troll go ahead I just want the already decent population to get even better. Hey you already paid for the game why not enjoy now what u originally paid for.

As am I, and the favoritism I speak of is undeniable, she has sway you cannot debate that. She even admitted it.
also 3 of 4 posts u circled had troll in them (common forum phrase) 2 of 4 have ghoul in them..I wouldn't go as far a complain (clearly you do give a shit about your rep if you complained, your previous comments negate this ideology against not caring you seemed to have created for this specific argument) about that first of all and second that isn't close to any proof that that is that same guy. Only in two..perhaps...
Course that's enough to get the fascist stjudas and co. all erect and banning whoever you please..
Draconian Modding/Favoritism Proven, gameplay won't be any different...

Also information is freely available to the older registered members and subsequently kept there by the ignorant few who enjoy the mild cache of soon to be released material, over sharing it with a yearning community filling slowly with DF 'non-compatibles' and the slightly interested.
Because of the boring forum and even more boring (or watchfully tame) community, people should just register for beta and leave. (Any questions will be locked by the aptly named Judas (of free information)) And return only once you see more information being posted in this forum
Hopefully the gameplay makes up for the over-regulated forums and the pathetic breachers of power geek moderators (SV clearly dug from the ashes of central, mid-20th century Europe) and like the second thread our freind Darkalect innocently posted in, doesn't collapse under the weight of an over-used U3 engine.
Doesn't the OP know that one never ever posts anything negative on the official websites of the games,of any game for that matter??
Those are for just getting an account to register for beta for everything else there is MMORPG.COM........among others
Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
Who knows what he posted which was deleted? Those two posts clearly weren't the reason for banning him, ... right?

Unfortunately thats not true. I was browsing the second thread he posted in when they still had the post count under the name and I saw this guy with a long name and 2 posts who was not banned. A few days later on the same thread he was, with no new posts. Curiously I checked what his first post was as it should have caused quite a stir. Alas no, it was as innocent as the greeting. I stopped lurking for fear of being removed in case I saw something I shouldn't have and ended with the same fate.
SV should re-examine who they have representing them, and despite it being no where near a game breaker it really leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. No one appreciates being over moderated. Especially on a forum so slow..

right. he wasn't banned for that post like he's making everyone think for whatever reason. he got banned for having multiple accounts and trying to abuse the reputation system. basically, he made several alts so he could spam people with negative reputation... he was an idiot, and he got caught. end of story.
some of you seem to be unable to grasp this... but just because someone only has 1 post, does not mean they got banned for that one thing they posted. there are other ways for people to be banned besides simply posting. creating multiple accounts to sign up for beta multiple times or sending harassing PMs to other community members to name just a couple. i admit, the forum moderators are a little strict, but it isn't nearly as bad as some of you people are making it out to be.

lol @ OP. First off, how many MMORPG's have you been developing? Hell, are you even working with developing and know the difference between developing your own engine, och leasing one? Enough said, with a great engine like UE3 you save a couple of years and can focus on the game, instead of how to get the game running.
And second, why should they even bother answering your statement?
I can agree a ban is a bit rough, but I rather have it that way then the MO forums turn into a messy, childish DFO forum. I dont mind they being hard, I mean , how hard is it to play it cool and follow the rules? And for you that mentioned all should sign up for beta and leave?? Haha, GL testing it!
I am eagerly wating for MO, especially when DFO was such a failure for me; Bad gfx, no content that they told will be in and buggy! MO FTW!
This quote and the first above reply are perfect proof of my two points.
The first is the boredom suffered by the boards and the community. Poor poster went and figured out the back story to Darkalect's banning as yes, there was nothing else for a MO supporter to do on the forum or IRC. Why? totalitarian governing and lack of information to discuss. SV has a mildly good reputation with communication, in reality it is very limited, vague and like the monthly updates on the front page, not complete.
The second is the prevalent favoritism. Should any player be able to dig into another persons affairs? And how would they go about doing that? Ask a mod they have gotten to know over a period of time. Probably the same mod who banned this guy and without any consent gave out information, why? Because a long term follower wanted it...What else do they know, what else can they get? Will this differ once the game is released? There are questions currently hovering over DF with GM's possibly influencing game play. Despite the MO mods being mods and not GMs currently, who knows what role they may play in future MO endeavors. And if they are willing to look the other way or be sly in their information supply..Who knows what will happen when the game goes live..
These aren't very good signs. And my two cents if the questionable research done by the quoted is true. That guys two posts don't seem like they are really the grounds for ban, alt or not. If he used them to get beta invites maybe, but I remember clearly that this happened well before beta being announced...
While i would not ask such question with those words i think the ban was extreme, IF this was the only reason.

first point: nope, sorry. i didn't spend any time figuring out the back story. i'm the one that reported him for having multiple user accounts, shortly after which he was banned. i didn't have to spend more than 1 second to figure it out either because he was an idiot.
second point: no. wrong again, there was no favoritism. i reported him, the mods said "we'll take care of it," and he was banned immediately afterward.
so for the third time.. he was banned for having multiple user accounts in order to abuse the forum rep system, not for the couple posts he made. in fact, the only reason his account has only a couple posts is because it's just one of his many alt accounts (he had at least 3, probably more).
PS: nice work using wild assumptions to serve your own agenda, i'm impressed! yet another reason why i should know never to visit these boards.
Stop feeding the trolls
LoLz you just proved everyone of hit points again.
I don't think they are all that bad, but the forum does suffer a little bit from zealous moderation. They lock threads and those disappear to the abyss, then next week someone posts the exact same topic. If they they took the time to organize their stickies a bit better the forum wouldn't look so " lock happy ".
afaik they mostly lock threads that are
a) idiotic. (someone flaming something or posting illegal shit)
b) discussing other MMO's (like darkfall and WoW)

Correct, and if we look at lachrymos's join date on the MO forums and interaction with mods/devs we can clearly see why she would take this position. One of Pure defense, lachry wanted someone banned, look what happened..who knows what the guy was annoyed at and neg repped lachy for, but apparently that's worth being banned over. "Abuse of Rep system" what a joke..
This favoritism will spill over into the game, point will be proven when we look at her char in 3 months after release..how'd she get that? they will ask....
Conclusion Ban Lachy, she knows too much due to your unfair mods/devs. Show us that MO will be a fair game...I'm sorry but here is your chance to take a stance MO....
Edit: You would have needed help to figure out your rep problem because rep is anonymous on the forums lachy...this holes getting pretty deep.

You have to leave a comment to neg rep on the MO forums, it isn't hard to figure out most of the time.
I see you've decided to go the tin foil hat route with the whole "favortism" conspiracy. No surprise.
lachry is a respected forum presence on MO, you could learn something, though I doubt it.

Multiple accounts, minimalist comments on random posts, i doubt putting the peices together would be that easy.
Lachry is a doomer MO lurker too far down the rabbit hole to be saved. As for your tin foil bullocks we will see where her guild is after release shall we...I love how your not questioning your just agreeing..true sheep fanboi here.
Why even play DF when AoC has finally released the game they should have released a year ago.
Don't believe me? Fire up the new DX10 version with new content and bug fixes and droll over the Active combat system and tell thats it's not the best out. If you wanna call thios a troll go ahead I just want the already decent population to get even better. Hey you already paid for the game why not enjoy now what u originally paid for.

As am I, and the favoritism I speak of is undeniable, she has sway you cannot debate that. She even admitted it.
tl:dr
except for when u admitted favoritism +1..
also 3 of 4 posts u circled had troll in them (common forum phrase) 2 of 4 have ghoul in them..I wouldn't go as far a complain (clearly you do give a shit about your rep if you complained, your previous comments negate this ideology against not caring you seemed to have created for this specific argument) about that first of all and second that isn't close to any proof that that is that same guy. Only in two..perhaps...
Course that's enough to get the fascist stjudas and co. all erect and banning whoever you please..
Draconian Modding/Favoritism Proven, gameplay won't be any different...
