    This is so wrong!

    First you mess and ruin the game and when it's done, you move to mess with players?!

    FREE FEVVES!

    Hi,
    I have lifted the ban on Fevves.

    There is an automatic forum function that bans users who post more than 5 posts in ten minutes. It is in place to try to control the advertising spammers and is not intended for legitimate users. But sometimes it happens.

    EDIT: Finding all Fevves' post and undeleting them is a bit of work, but I will do my best.

    Thanks sings_in_tune, it seems that there is still hope here...

    Actually, I can only find any threads that Fevves started. I have gone through all of those (6 that I found) and restored all his posts in those threads, but I don't really have any way of finding posts he has made in threads started by others.

    If anyone else is banned by the 5 posts in 10 minutes, you should send a private message to one of the forum mods and they will restore you.

    Nope, you just partially restored my profile, not that I'm not thanking you for that. THANK YOU MAN! But, me contacting you and asking of you to do your job is not going to happen. You have your mod notifications and mod panel and you know what to do with them.

    I can't believe the system is temp.(read: PERMA!!!!) deleting posts of anyone in this auto mode(!!!). Forums should be cleansed only upon manual mod or admin action and not like this. Trust me, I was moderator and also an admin on few forums in my life and I never permitted auto deletion of anything similar, even we had the tools and means to do so.

    Such automatic scripts can not do the job at par with human factor and active mods.

    Now, my posting is totally disrupted, my deleted posts disrupted and crippled other discussions and my "investment" in giving back to teh community here perished. I lost around 340 of my posts here...


    I do thank you for lifting this odd and stupid ban, but it simply is not fair and now I do feel like an idiot for even posting.


    I thank my fellow riders for being supportive and bumping this thread up on teh first page, but I think I had it with this forum and the ways things goes. I will continue playing , but surely won't be posting as much as before. I had so little free time before this issue and now I will use that time for myself and will stop wasting it where it is not needed nor welcome.

    btw, 5 posts in different threads were about the newest gifting system, not that I ranted harshly or anything.

    Still, I ask of mods to revise this stupid policy to delete posts in auto mode. It simply is not fair to loyal players and to the honest forum members.

    My signature reflects the state of my mind and the state of this game that once was great and worth giving back for what I had or received (put some real moneys here too, as a token of appreciation to the devs!!!). Now it's time for me to stop being an idiot and stop investing myself and my time in to this thing you started to heavily pun and modify to utmost nonsence of just "working out the workouts".

    Happy riding everybody, we might see each others on the tracks (eventually).

    Very glad this got at least somewhat resolved, but come on mods, let's see if we can get Fevves' posts back online. There's no way it just deleted all of them, this is the internet. They are on here somewhere. I can only imagine how frustrating it is to have all your posts just magically disappear.

    OK, I went through the first 5 pages of Forums>RedLynx Studio>TRIALS FRONTIER>General Discussion and restored all the posts I found.
    Fevves is up to 87 posts as of right now .

    I don't know where else you might post, Fevves. You will have to let me know.

    BTW, I am not a Ubisoft employee, I am a volunteer mod, so complaining to me will do no good at all.

    A computer program that is set to deal with all users in the same fashion for the same behavior is pretty much the definition of fair.

    We have begun restoring your posts through the Admin backend. Had you PM'd a Mod or Admin, then this issue could have been taken care of much sooner (you PM'd me some time last night, so I looked into it as soon as I got into the office). Instead you wanted to post it publically to the forum, and that's cool, your prerogative, but you also posted to General Discussion instead of Support. We don't read every post or every thread in General Discussion every day, that means you may need to wait if you are looking for forum account support in a place designed for General Discussion.

    I'm not sure who sings_in_tune is, other than a forum moderator, but I don't think they are assigned to this community. You had, by all accounts, a random helpful volunteer forum moderator try to assist you, and they were met with "Not helping you do your job". Well, you may need to help the mods help you. If you aren't willing to do that, then you shouldn't be surprised when they use the time they volunteer to do things other than help you. Being rude to moderators, especially when they are trying to help you, isn't cool.

    But hey, you should be back to full posts and count and all of that. You're welcome.
