Permanently Banned

[q.peruti]

Hello all,

I am sure there have been numerous amounts of these threads already. The ban was sometime August last year for an unknown reason. There was one match where I may have said some unfriendly things as a four stack was seriously trolling, but nothing that would ever amount to a permanent ban. I would expect a comm ban at most for that. Regardless I am very confused as to where the permanent ban came from. I actively keep up with game even while being banned (yes it is sad) and would love opportunity to play again or at least an explanation as to why I was banned. If there is anyway that figure this out please let me know. I genuinely love this game lol.

I also had the same thing happen to me at around the same time last year. I've never cheated, never said any kind of slurs or any bigoted insults, I'd always type glhf at the start of the vast majority of my matches, but admittedly did have the bad habit of responding to people who flamed me in matches. Logged in one day and had a permanent ban. Its been so long that frankly I can't even remember why, what little memory of what may have caused it is that I was in a match getting flamed by a stack of players the whole time, and made a sarcastic comment about throwing.(as they had been saying that I was throwing the whole match when I was simply playing very bad.)

I can certainly admit I was acting like a jackass that match, but my behavior hardly felt like it rose to the level of a permanent ban. Much like your example. I'm in the same boat as you, game looks incredible, and I'd really love to be given a second chance or at least some kind of explanation on what happened. I know a lot of people will simply write us off, but I just wanted to chirp in and say that I know the feeling and hope that we both get some form of an answer eventually.

Hey! Very surprised to have actually gotten a response on this thread whether it be a staff member or not. I feel your frustration man, I genuinely cannot remember what I could have done or said that prompted a permanent ban. I feel like sometime last year they had a massive automated ban wave of some sort and since the game is not officially released they could really care less if genuine players are unbanned. We should try and keep this thread active in hopes of receiving a proper response from the staff team. If our bans are completely justified then I do not see an issue and accept full responsibility. With that being said I have seen zero information relating to our bans leaving me stumped. Please @Yoshi help us out!

Yeah it really is the "not knowing"' part that gets me. I get that we're not entitled to an answer, but I'd really appreciate it if they graciously gave us one nonetheless. Even if that answer is "Yeah you had it coming because of X." Obviously it would suck to hear, but I could just take my lumps and hopefully appeal the ban whenever the game releases or they open the proper channels for it.

Right now we're both just in this odd limbo of not knowing for sure. There's not really a good avenue for figuring it out and for the most part its hard to discuss as you typically have people who pretend to be totally faultless and in-fact said some truly horrendous stuff and people who see those people, and then inevitably dismiss anyone who caught one of these bans as being in the same category. So edge cases like mine and yours just end up being washed away with the tide.

I have tried everything I could think of. Contacted numerous staff on Discord (usually all have DMs disabled, rightfully so), contacted Steam Support and contacted Yoshi privately on the forums. Instead of giving a simple response we are either ignored or silenced. Really unfortunate as this game could stay in the “early access” limbo for quite a bit leaving us SOL. Regardless I am praying for the day we receive a response or opportunity to be allowed back in. Wishful thinking .
