--------------------
Disembadied Soul isnt working. Bungie set the bot up to ease the load on themeselves and the moderators here. He bans people for obvious offenses, etc. The only problem is that a Bot will ban without question or motive, without mercy. A normal moderator doesnt do that, and knows when someone is actually breaking the rules rather than just falling helplessly into them.

I am a victim of Disembodied Soul's own problem, lack of judgement. I was banned for asking for leak information, reasonable. I decided to post some advertisements for the groups I started as well as a contest announcement to the community news with my old account that I moved from due to linking to the wrong gamertag. So i post a few of those up, then realise in the middle of my announcement post that Soul has banned me for using another account while my previous one had been banned. No biggy, I thought, its the rules.

So I waited for my original account to be unbanned, thinking that it was the source of my trouble, so when it was unbanned I was pretty much in the clear. I waited and then began to post after it was unbanned. I had posted twice already, just before getting banned, errors that I was getting in my posts on this site, trying to be a helpful member. Those were removed upon blacklisting, so I had to re-post them. I did that, as well as made new ad topics to update the site on my competition and the new groups becuase the others were now blank due to my blacklisting and had not recruited any new members.

As I try to post my announcement that had been interrupted about 5 days prior, i realise that I am now blacklisted a third time by Disembodied soul for using an alternate account while another was previously blacklisted. I know it sounds simple to just asy "wait for the other to be unbanned next time". But if even I fell into that, most other members will, and many other members will fall into a circle of banning that will never end becuase Soul doesn't make any judgements, he just bans us. This is why a Bot isnt a good substitute for a Moderator, becuase a bot can wreak havok in unexpected senarios, and really piss off your members. Im incredibly furstrated with the fact that I cannot get the errors that i have been recieving constantly to bungie, as well as am unable to advertise because of this.

If anyone understands my perdicament, please respond in the topic gt3stuntman has made for this statement. I will be reading it and will have gt3stuntman reply for me accordingly.

Uhm... Wow...

I read as much as i could, bits and pieces and i have a general suggestion for you.

You broke rules multiple times.
You made multiple accounts.
You broke more rules.
You made more accounts.
You got banned some more.
You are now complaining about all of the above.

I'm sorry, but even if the soul is "going hay-wire" you deserve to be banned permanently on all accounts IMO.

Having multiple accounts isn't illegal its just frowned upon. As for the Soul Banning you repeatedly when you try to log in with a different account. Well I can see why that would be a problem but all you have to do is stop logging in with any account until all your accounts are unbanned so then you won't be stuck in a perpetual cycle of bannings.

Complaining about being banned can also warrant a ban. I'm sure it said somewhere in the Terms of Use or Code of Conduct that your account can be suspended at any time with or without reason.

I myself once (and only once) fell prey to the soul. I shared a family computer, so when I was banned for my own kiss-ass stupidity, my alternate/brother's account (he no longer used it) was also banned. All I did was wait for my first account to be unbanned and the problem went away.

Asking for leaked content results in a permanent blacklist, including a blacklist for all alt accounts. Apparently that has happened to g33k, unless I misread.

So, he got banned.
then his alt got soul'd
then when his main account got unblacklisted, the main got soul'd due to the alt being soul'd.

I lol'd.

I'd have sympathy for someone, for example Sir Fragula, got got the banstick for using a public computer that had previously been banned, but the fact is, you broke multiple rules (including the only big, heavily enforced ones, like asking for beta links), and then, to top it all off, you used an alternate account to get around the ban. If you were expecting sympathy, you've come ot the wrong place.

I'll now crush this thread beneath my jackboot. Someone needs to figure out this appropriate course of action, contact a Master Ninja because us normals don't deal with these unban/ban actions.
