Sadly this game kowtows to uber-conservative people that worry about something as inoffensive as this.Quote:

Live and learn. SC doesn't care if it's a joke and they have no sense of humor so even though you did something that I find funny and only mildly PG-13, you got slapped with a 2 day ban same as if you were doing something much much worse. Bummer.
At least you are aware of the reason... i got banned for a day without being aware of the reason (i was alone in a clan cause i was innactive) some helpful forum moderators are still looking at it since it was totally unfair for me... so what i want to say is always look at the positive things:) it would be worse if you did not know what was the issue right?

I thought I left my base up, but asked Someone to check and it seems I changed it before bed.
Interesting how many of you are so self righteous. I mean some folks are providing good info, but several others are just jerks. "Reflect on my life's decisions". Really? I mean it is a game. I like playing, have fun, and don't get offended when others talk a little trash. I get it, I made a mistake that is punishable by a ban.
My original post was an attempt to find out why because I simply didn't understand. Now I know. But, to some of you, please keep the pompous self righteous attitudes to yourselves.
It is that type of attitude towards someone seeking info that creates frustration.
Lol I thought my comment about reflecting on life decisions was funny... I guess sarcasm is lost more easily than I thought on the internet.Quote:

Although I cannot seem to locate it at the moment, someone posted a guide that included what I consider dirty tricks in war. One of the items was to take a screenshot of offensive bases, send to SC, and watch the person be banned. You got cute (immature is the better word, but you seem to be getting defensive) and are paying the price. The other clan is playing "all is fair in love and war", and you handed them the ammunition.
What else could forums possibly be for?Quote:

I understand where you're coming from... you want to make a funny statement and really don't mean to offend anyone... and with the ability to have different war base layouts, you'd like to throw the attacker of your base off his game by giving them less time to analyze your "real" base before war day starts.
We don't allow these types of "troll" bases at all - for similar reasons that happened with the OP... what if the person forgets to change it back, etc (which has actually happened). We kicked a potential decent recruit because he forgot to change his base before war.
However, some folks take this to extremes (not the OP, btw). We had a new person join the clan yesterday, and with a war starting shortly after he arrived, he was high enough to be in. His war base was "glitched" as some say... there were some buildings directly on top of other buildings. Well, in our clan, we don't allow troll bases of any kind so we asked him to change it. And guess what he changed it to? Yep, another troll base... however this one had some very offensive language in it - I, nor half the clan thought it was funny. "F" word and all the rest of it... anyway, we asked him to change it again, and of course you can guess what followed... a bunch of expletives and name calling... ultimately we were forced to kick him out.
In our case, we'd love to get this person banned for 2 days, but we're going to be punished as a clan anyway... open TH, and defenses haphazardly strewn about. And like the OP said earlier... we'll lose 2 of our attacks. It kinda sucks because the current clan we're facing is actually a decent clan, as opposed to the last 5 or 6 which are all just "war farming".
I know there's lots of things we can do as a clan to avoid these types of people... don't allow new people in the first war, more stringent guidelines etc etc... but in all honesty, in the hours leading up to war, aside from a couple childish comments from this person that weren't offensive by any means, we had no idea it would turn out like it did.
My point? When you want the ban to happen, it doesn't... and vice versa.
Anyway, thought I'd share my 2cents story.

We actually use this as a war strategy, getting people banned. Read the post.
the word "sucks" is starred out in global, so i can see why it would cause a ban...most likely most words starred out in global if not all if screenshotted would be banned, maybe not email though... but possibly, cuz supercell wants to protect the unknowing player from sharing their email via their base =)
