I PM’d a mod that closed another thread. Asked about lost content for “whatever” reason. Zero reply. Can’t do ticket, certain topics get slammed closed.
I guess courtesy of a reply, perhaps bringing to devs as an issue impossible. It wasn’t Max, just to clarify. Sorry we lost ya V12, miss your content. Be well dude.
Which paying service you know of would ban a user without notifying him? that is, up to me, something that gives the amount of respect/consideration that team has for players.
They could consider changing color of trees to bright blue that they would get millions accounts anyway. They simply feel they don’t need to care about player base anymore.
Wish you the best guys, may we meet next year on the big S console games.
In fairness, the suggestion appears to be that notice of suspension would have been given - just not seen as the OP wasn’t accessing FH4 at the time. I don’t think there should be further discussion on the individual specifics of this case anyway, as I wouldn’t want to venture into discussing the specifics of a ban.
The overall point here, which I feel we should be able to discuss without the thread being closed, is why it is necessary for all content to seemingly be removed if a temporary ban is imposed. As has been mentioned, that appears to penalise the whole community rather than the individual and seems entirely unnecessary.
Do we know whether it is an intentional policy decision (I.e. it’s deemed if one design is dodgy it’s too risky to leave the rest in place) or an accidental side-product of a ban? If it’s the former, I do think it is something worth some form of communication with Support seeking to try and persuade them to review that policy. If the latter, I guess there is little that can be done but I would hope Support might then be more helpful than seems to have been the case on the example cases to date!
Sorry, but I don’t agree with the criticism. Each of us know the rules (or at least agree to them) when we join. I don’t feel that this penalty, as part of being banned, is too harsh.
Well another part of this that forza is even by themself change rules and methods few months ago. And made system that will scan online players garage to find spesific cars like when peoples get banned (i dodge this bullet by having break from forza in that point) by owning PO Focus that many have sniped from AH, so imagine getting banned by sniping car from AH sound really damn fair.
Or how abaout designs, imagine someone making nice looking design that will get banned because having abbreviation that would mean profanity in english but totally something else on some other langues without people knowing that it’s profanity in english and instead of losing just that design everything that people is done get wiped out IMO that punishment is way too harsh and it’s also puts players in an unequal position as ban being more severe those who have share designs etc to other peoples to enjoy.
Well that’s fair enough and I’ve now checked the rules and the section which I presume applies to these examples is as follows:
User Generated Content (UGC)
This suspension type is issues when a player uploads inappropriate content to layer groups, liveries, photos, or other visual media. Please note that this can also apply to in-game offensive content that is discovered on external sites such as Mixer, YouTube, Twitch or the like.
Impact: All player UGC is removed from the Community Hub. This content remains on your account but will need to be re-uploaded after the suspension is completed.
That’s pretty clearcut so it is a policy decision and, in fairness, it is information available to everyone as you say. I still think it should be re-considered though and probably treated on a case by case basis.
When it comes to rules, no idea what happens. Fanbase is clearly changing for Horizon, it’s becoming less teen like NFS and more children and preteen. Recent content updates have been tailored to such demographic (which is the Fortnite demographic). This could have had an impact on rules for content and I’m not fond of this change since, well, I’m an adult.
If this means Forza Motorsport will move into more mature territory without alienating the younger fanbase, I won’t mind it very much, because I could simply play the next Forza Motorsport instead. On the other hand, the success of Horizon was because it beat NFS at its own game, and NFS is not a game for children (though it is for teens).
