no idea, i'd try to log in later to see if im banned. that would be the perfect ammo since i didnt play during mabar

I have been banned for 7 days, i am vip, and i have no clue what it is about. I cant post on ddo forum because of the ban. so if anyone knows my toons fallinangel, rainoffire, monkyouup, avenginangel, or malinki.  I will be back running when i can.

Yup, I was posting, then got kicked from the forums. Try to log back on. It then directs me to the billing site, which gives me a 404 error. They must be swamped! Assholes!

Anyone manage to save the thread before it was nuked?

Never used a hireling in the chamber.

yes 3 day ban here also...and seems the posts regarding this have been pulled from the ddo forum also.
Kind of smells of either cover-upo or hacking or disgruntled employee to me

LOL!

It's Tarrant taking revenge after being fired! 

Well, I joined the banned club....

Banned Until

No email or explaination of course

And they wait until customer service is gone when the mass booting starts.

Sad thing is I left the Lame Mabar event because of the pathetic drop rates of motes and relics while the 25% xp event was going on.

i saw this post from Tolero Senior Community Specialist

I strongly suggest folks review the forum guidelines if they intend to keep their forum posting privileges.__________________

Not sure what its about. I sat afk in a lot of guild groups for hours, dual boxed most of it. Crafted my shit, and thats it. Most of the shit isnt that great, I only did it because I was at my fathers house that weekend working out some of his network problems. If I had a decent internet connection I would have never done any of it

Second acct got a 3 day ban.

I think from the arbitrary way the variety of bans and warnings have occurred over the past few hour. That this is clearly an attack on the turbine system carried out by someone who clearly has the talent to both enter their systems and "exploit" the various methodologies to cause as much commotion as possible. One can speculate about this being disgruntled ex employees, hackers, general nasty people. The point remains that Turbine have been far too slow to either establish a clear communication with their established user base, or solve the problem by reinstatement of the said banned accounts. To carry out such a "mass banning" in relation to what to all is an "unknown and unexplained exploit" could be said to be financial and public relation suicide on the part of Turbine.
As one of those who has received such a 3 day ban for no apparent reason other than attending their mabar event. I take no pleasure in advising my colleagues at the "BBC Click Online" program of this evenings events, with the hope they will cover it in their next program.
...and i so advise...

I got banned too, 3 days....first time ever, no infractions previously or anything. How the hell can they ban without explanation or recourse? I don't even know why. I got my motes mostly from trade channel, selling large ingredients. Never used a hireling in chamber (I hate them things) did drink a couple of draughts occasionally.... I'm very confused and mightily pissed off.

Anyway, for my part, I've sent them an email demanding they cancel my VIP subscription immediately. I won't be a part of the profits of a company who do something like this.
