Archeage is banning forum users.

Probably gonna get a warning or this will get locked. I read the posts below and he is not the first to get banned for trolling on Archeage. I actually saw his comment and it is under username Buddhafett74 on the official Archeage Forums. His other posts are on there but his last one I guess was deleted. There are a few players on my server that got locked out from the forums. Don't know what was said, but the general thing was talking about quitting and complaints. I guess Trion does not want bad PR. I don't know why the Moderators are locking these topics. From what I read the user was not being aggressive. He was just telling his story.

    Forums are not there for players to vent in any way they want.

    Players 'venting' and being removed from forums has been happening for years. This is not new.

    But for some reason players feel they can vent in any way they want and "for some reason" the company has to put up with it.

    If players don't like what is happening they can either complain in a constructive way or better yet, take their dollars elsewhere.

    Again, this is not new for any company.

    Hate to burst your bubble Sovrath. Half the posts on here (maybe more) are players venting.

    "Here" is not owned by Archeage, but that does not mean they will allow you to continue a post with no reason but to bash something.  MMORPG is privately owned and can do what they want.

    Each forum has its own tolerance for how that venting is allowed. 

    Sadly, you are correct, there are a lot of players venting on this site. You will also notice that we sometimes get players who have been warned or banned on this site for "venting" in a way that the moderators and community leaders deem unacceptable.

    We also get the "freedom of speech warriors" who have no idea what that really means. Which is also a bit sad.

    However, your post indicates that archeage moderators are banning posters for "saying their peace" and I pointed out that most game developers/forums don't allow people to come to their forums and slice open their "Id" for everyone to stomach.

    They want to complain? Then they have to do so within whatever the forum's rules allow.

    This is nothing new and the same thing happened with the very first mmo I ever played back in 2004.
