[spoiler][b]Update 8/25[/b]: Bungie has censored and banned, LostSols, BoomerSooner51, and Acehunter25 for alleged CoC violations. The only cursing was in the form of "dipshit", the other "bannable" offenses were the use of the phrase "butsniffing fanboy" and calling a player out for being in the lower half of crucible ratings. These users other crimes were thought out complaints and criticisms against Bungie. Clearly Bungie has been bringing the ban hammer down hard against [i]whistler blowers[/i], while allowing truly bad mouth trolls continue without consequence. [b][i][u]But that's not even the worst. [/u][/i][/b]CaseyOakdale posted a link and instructions on how to contact Activision and the BBB for a refund of the game. After amassing nearly 300 comments (last I saw) his post was removed. This is completely inexcusable. Do not let Bungie act ignorant to these issues any longer. This thread is already 600 comments strong. Keep bumping! Force them to remove it, but do not let them ignore it! Caseyoakdale's post: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/149277855/0/0[/spoiler] Nothing to see here. #FreeSols [spoiler][b][i][u]Attention Edit[/u][/i][/b]: BoomerSooner51 was banned as well! For Supporting #FreeSols and apparently saying: buttsniffing fanboy We now have 2 banned community members and [i]atleast[/i] 2 censored posts. Stop running this forum like its N. Korea. Haha --------------------------------------------------- [b][i][u]Attention[/u][/i][/b]!! Bungie (or their "unpaid affiliates") has been censoring the #FreeSols posts! This thread hasn't been touched yet, but many of the ones with less comments (@caseyoakdale @cbrstar)and less visibility have already been Ninjad. Is this seriously what the forum has turned too?! Cmon! You're better than that!! Unban the innocent party and let's just get this over with. YOU have turned this into a bigger deal than it needs to be. Well, hopefully once Monday hits the [i]real[/i] employees will see this and resolve a very unfortunate situation. The forum [i]needs[/i] constructive criticism and positive feedback. Give us back the voice that provided that! #FreeSols PS if it makes any difference, I've already preordered TTK haha --------------------------------------------------- [b][i][u]update[/u][/i][/b]: [u]This is not name shaming[/u]! I've been [i]talking[/i] with LostSols' "victim" all day, and he's admitted Sols didn't do anything ban worthy, and acknowledges Sols positive impact towards the community, and wants the ban lifted. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/148664399/0/0/1 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/148677477/0/0/1 So [b]why[/b] was he banned in the first place? Conspiracies amuse me. Keep the pressure on, #FreeSols --------------------------------------------------- [b]Edit 3[/b]: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/148570589/0/0 posted that from my phone, hope it works [b]Here's why he was banned, if you were curious[/b] Edit 2: There was an imposter account out there named "LostSol[b][i][u]z[/u][/i][/b]" That account made some false posts, and was reported and ninja'd. The real Sols is still MIA lol Edit: Before this gets too outta hand - I'm gonna squash a theory that Bungie was trying to silence him. Some trolls were harassing him, things got personal and spiraled down from there. BUT did the Bungie dev team give a sigh of relief when Sols got banned? [i]Probably.[/i] Talked to LostSols tonight. He got ninja banned after confronting some people that were harassing him. I don't really know details, but I know a lot of people look forward to his posts and I'd like Bungie to reconsider his ban. Every disagreement I've had with him has always been cordial - and I've seen him in plenty of other discussions without it turning bad. I'm sure whatever happened was a one time thing. It really is a shame to lose one more of the active forum members that made intelligent, thought-out posts. [quote]You all are the best and I appreciate all the support you’ve continually showed me. I look forward to reading what you all have for Bungie while I’m away. The Hammer of Sols has been nerfed. [/quote] -LostSols Bump #FreeSols[/spoiler]
