You told people to commit fraud to get their money back if the game crashes?

That is definitely ban worthy by any game developer.
🤦‍♂️

You were unhelpfull by directing people to vidoes from you that can very easily render a PC unusable if followed and anything being done slightly wrong. Not just that, but none of that would actually fix anything for them. Any kind of messing with deeper system/OS settings is not something to direct any average user to. Just to make this clear: Using DDU is the extent of what a regular user should be recommened to do by anyone not being a dev or being literal tech support.

And no, not all games crash for a similar reason. That is like saying that only 2+2 can equal 4. We all know that to not be true.

Always interesting to see the other half of the story. Yeah, both of those things is going to get a lot of unwanted attention in game hubs, especially fraud or things that can damage other customers PCs. :mashyourmotor::greasysideup::smokeybear:

The venn diagram of what people who aren't programmers think causes crashes and what actually causes crashes is two circles a mile apart.

Yep, the community is so awful, how dare they ban someone for telling people to REINSTALL their OS to fix a bug (that won't fix a bug), or telling them to do things that will brick their computer.

How dare they actually protect users who might be guilable enough to damage their PC by following malicious advice. They should totally let people tell users to rinse their PC out with water to clean out the dust, or to delete all those pesky system files that take up space.

Yep, in this case if you read the thread, the excuse was a person posting advice that could destroy people's PC's. If someone was posting that they should be banned. Just like if someone tried to sell a dangerous chemical as a "Cure" that could hurt people.

I been long perma banned from there, years now.

They don't want "any" criticisms and are against their rules.

In fact, it was that community, and the Win 7 purge that got me started on these Official Discussions.
You can criticise the game if you word it properly and aren't going on a rant. There are enough posts there that do that and those people aren't banned.
Also what you shouldn't do is recommending people to use Windows recovery to "fix" outdated/broken mods (which it won't) or even recommend others to mess around with the registry on their PC.

I know that you got a more personal vendetta against that community due to your actions that got you banned there. Has been discussed already elsewhere.

I mean its no different then a medical forum banning someone who was asking for advice on cancer treatment and told to try this "treatment" which consists of mixing bleach and pomegranate juice and then drinking it....................

Ruthless.
Unsurprising the individual who got perm banned for harassment is trying to act like he's the good guy in the scenario. Lol

I'm like John Wayne riding into the sunset lol.

And btw, how do these games this small, be it this or ETS, get so many complaints here at the discussions?

I think we know why. Just shut them down. The have their own forums anyway off of Steam.
Let's rewind;

I have seen super long punishments (even permanent) for people telling others to do things that would definitely or most likely damage their systems, and permanent community removal when those things would result in the death of the user if following bad information.

Thus, a Dev taking action on anything from trolling, endless arguing, ban evasion on alts, all the way to unhelpful posts that can damage peoples PCs is definitely actionable.

Yeah nobody is gonna tip toe around you in regards to a video game. Getting banned from there, only means we did something right and is a badge of honor.

Meanwhile, shut that Hub down.
The people removed from that hub have definitely been removed for good reasons.
The community is quite helpful and even knows when specific game-mods are causing issues and tell people to disable them until the mod-creator updates it, which is typically within hours to days at the most depending on the mod creator.

They're not going to shutdown that hub, lol.
It's funny how people get more and more extreme in what they say when they're realising that they're BS isn't getting the traction they hoped. :lunar2019laughingpig:
