I received a message on November 11 that I was banned from Forza Horizon until November 18. No reasons were given for the ban.
I suspect it is because of the designs or pattern groups I have created. After looking at all the designs and sample groups, I could not find any indication that any of my designs violated the game’s policies or terms of use.
I quickly found what I was looking for on the web as well. There are, unfortunately, umpteen bans that have been enforced for no apparent reason. Even players who unknowingly downloaded “offensive” designs were banned.
I am fully aware that the game is playable without age restriction from 0 years and I have always been careful not to create an offensive design, so as not to endanger children.
Creators of designs, contribute a significant part to the success of the game - Somehow Microsoft and Turn 10 keep forgetting this.
In my opinion, creators of new designs should not be allowed to be banned for no reason. If one is already banned, it would be necessary to name the design, which is allegedly responsible for the blocking, already because of the future learning effect.
I hope that someone who has the power to remove the unlawful block will read this and that the block will be removed as soon as possible.
If people insist on making liveries they know will get them banned, why keep making them? From what I’ve seen, anything political will likely result in a ban, as will anything relating to racism, sexism, homophobia and so on and so forth. The same will also apply to a certain US flag. Could they have done a better job communicating this stuff? Yes, most likely. Is it an excuse to keep breaking the rules when you already know what they are? No.
Just for information: Discussions about bans are not allowed on the forum. To appeal a ban, you need to go to the appropriate section in the Support website itself. No-one on the forum has the power to do anything about a ban
