Er, who can I get in touch with to query a 24 hr ban on my account?
I have been logged in this morning, I don't use global and when I tried to log in now I have just been kicked off and told I am on a 24 hr ban for offensive behaviour.
I am interested to know what I am meant to have done!
Wild stab in the dark, offensive behaviour.
Best at way is to get in contact with support when you ban is over and contact in-game.
Any other form of contact can takes weeks for a responce.
Let's not beat around the bush here... Offensive; yes. Our clan chat is adult. Very. However, unlike the huge majority you see on global I don't waste my time bypassing filters and spamming.
I have played this game for over 2 years so find it highly unlikely that I have changed my "offensive" level to any degree lately
Maybe not, but people seem to be learning it is very easy to get people banned lately. All it takes is an offensive comment and a screen shot to support :rolleyes:Quote:

No, but apparantly someone has just observed your behavior for the first time or they have just now decided that they are offended by it.Quote:

I would hate for a clan member to feel offended by our clan chat and would need to ensure it doesn't happen again by wishing them a fond farewell....
You won't get that info, and chances are the person already left I would say. If you don't wish to be reported, safest way is to be respectful in what you say in game.Quote:

Interesting tactic.
Perhaps SC should be looking at just the leader in future, rather than members who have no part in naming a clan.
Typically it is just the leader who gets banned when an offensive clan name is the reason. For offensive description it is usually leader and all coleadersQuote:

I do wonder why people bother with offensive clan names. Its juvenile and pointless...Funny - yes...Abusive - no
Or people could stop writing offensive things in clan descriptions or having offensive clan names? If you are so worried about your account why take the risk?Quote:

Maybe Supercell need to make people aware somehow that offensive messages in war and bases may result in a ban... the loading screen or message on the village editor might be good places and on editing clan description.Quote:

I wouldn't join a clan if the name was offensive. If you join a clan with an offensive name or description then you are guilty by association.Quote:

To me; anything religious is offensive. I am a stout non believer and am offended when people advertise their beliefs. Somehow I doubt this would be deemed as a bannable act but offending is offending....
(I am just playing devils advocate, before someone gets on their high horse btw)
People say it is a terrible tactic, but if you don't make the offensive name or base in the first place nothing will bappen. It's not worth it and just immature.
And when they do get banned, they act innocent.
Chances are if you get a 24 hour ban, the ban will end before you get help.
Offensive is offensive. Do you really get offended when you see a religious clan name or see someone talk about their religion? You should't, or you must just sit around all day being offended by everything.Quote:
