Banned

I'm halting all my Issue 9-related updates indefinitely; at least until NCsoft tells me why I've been banned from the forums. I suspect it is because of my recent post on the official boards about Hamidon in Issue 9.--Iakona 13:05, 9 March 2007 (PST)

Sorry to hear that. I've definitely appreciated you filling us in on various things. Hopefully, they will explain why, and allow you back in soon enough. - Snorii 13:55, 9 March 2007 (PST)

o.o I'm assuming that the post about Hami was also removed? I don't see one that sticks out about him in your post history.. (<-- is curious about what was said) --Sleepy Kitty 13:59, 9 March 2007 (PST)

There's a copy of my post on the Infinity forums in a thread called HUGE SPOILER WARNING HAMIDON--Iakona 14:19, 9 March 2007 (PST)

o.o;; thats what you think they banned you over? thats almost nothing..

My guess is, if that was it, then it was sorta a "last straw" kind of thing. They got tired of having that level of information leaked, and decided enough was enough. So not that one post in particular, but a built up reaction to all the I9 info leaks posts. Just my guess as to the situation. - Sister Leortha 15:41, 9 March 2007 (PST)

If that were the case, I would think I should have heard at least something prior to the ban, telling me to stop posting Issue 9 info. Plus the other posts should've been removed as well, not just the Hami one.--Iakona 15:57, 9 March 2007 (PST)

Kinda sucks Iakona. Keep us update with your level of detail whenever you can.Catwhoorg 15:50, 9 March 2007 (PST)

o.o from lighthouse: "It is only a temp ban. Please pass on to Iakona to feel free to write me at Lighthouse@ncsoft.com as it appears he hasn't received my communication regarding the issue.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who's helping with the testing of Issue 9 and keeping it confidential. Everyone will have the chance to check it out when we put it up on the Training Room for open beta."

>_> while I doubt he apologies or really gives a reason, it might at least give a hint why you where singled out. --Sleepy Kitty 22:56, 9 March 2007 (PST)

Going on 12 hours since the ban now, and still not a word from anyone officially related to CoX. I emailed web@ncaustin.com and Lighthouse@ncsoft.com several hours ago, and have received no response. I know for a fact that my email address registered with NCsoft is correct, as I was still getting "Reply to a favorite topic:" emails even after I was banned. So either 1) Lighthouse doesn't know how to use email; 2) Lighthouse and NCsoft are ignoring me; or 3) Something is borked between NCsoft and Yahoo email.--Iakona 23:09, 9 March 2007 (PST)
