I just saw this and just wanna say Communication bans were bullsh*t and only made sense and had timers till recently. They used to give it to the players that insults the old management or when they make a mistake with their bans based on false reports. Instead of apologizing, they unban your account make up a different random reason “you advertised discord” and then giving you a communication ban. (i gave my discord username to a friend. They never actually found out about it, when I received the 8k h ban i asked them if its because i gave my friend my discord username. People put it in their statuses and stuff im sure its not a problem they just didnt want to admit the 8k hours ban they gave was a mistake). Also the communication bans were not the same length as your account ban. For example my second communication banned lasted for more than a whole year and there is no ban acc equal to that. If the management didn’t change I would have never been able to use forums and my account would have remained communication banned. (some people got com banned for 2 years too). Appeals regarding communication bans and guild bans used to always get ignored.
We all know the old manager did a terrible job, the communication ban isn’t bad anymore. It’s actually given for good reasons now. But I heard it still takes you off tag when you click “edit” on your profile, which can be annoying.
It’s kinda sad tho how there is still players that been guild banned for multiple years now and their support tickets gets ignored. Guild bans also used to be given for bull**** reasons, nothing related to guilds.
A lot of things regarding bans improved tho, now they match what Regas said.
