    Banned from Forum for Posting 5 Times in 10 Minutes

    Could one of the mods/devs assist me with getting the ban imposed on Force58 lifted. I got the ban a week ago for posting more than 5 times in 10 minutes. I didn't even know this was a thing. I come on here everyday and read/post replies. I'm not a bot. I've sent 2 private messages and no reply. I even sent a trouble ticket to Ubisoft and they said only a mod/dev can assist. The ban lift date says "never", great!!!!

    The ban was on my alt logon, Force58.

    Good luck, i think the same people in charge of banning people are the same ones who thought 1.6 was a good idea.

    I'm beginning to think the same thing. It's a pain in the *** to have to type in the image verification every single time I post just because my main is jacked up for a rule that makes no sense. That particular morning I was responding to threads and never got a warning that your next post would put me over 5, I just got a ban alert that said it would be lifted "never". Somehow the software thinks I'm a bot for posting 6 times in 10 minutes....oh well. I feel like a virgin poster now using this account, but hope they sort it out eventually.

    Only thing worse than the devs on this game is ubisoft customer service. I wouldn't expect much they don't deal with logic well anyways.

    I submitted a trouble ticket only to be told they don't deal with forum issues. They said I'd have to interact with a dev or mod. This is near impossible.

    They did it to me too.
    Matt did lift the ban but over 1,000 of my posts and threads I started are deleted.
    I had to start from zero.

    Stupidest thing I've ever seen on a forum.
    It has a timer that prevents you from posting twice in under a minute so breaking the stupid rule shouldn't even be possible.

    Then I see actual bots fill up the whole first page with Chinese spam. So stupid.

    It really is. It's been 2 weeks and no reply from any of the mods/dev's I messaged. I'd like to get back to my force58 account as I'm tired of typing in the stupid Image Verification crap every time I respond to a post.

    Sigh!!!!

    My guess is they probably don't like you, had you been a youtuber you would have received a fix quite quickly.

    You're probably right. I'm not a YouTuber, so I guess I'm doomed. They probably don't like me as I tell it like it is and they probably don't want to hear it. I also tell them often I love the gameplay, but the boredom now is real, especially now knowing year 2 will provide no new story content. They've yet to understand how to take constructive criticism.

    Same thing happened to me. It says that you'll be locked out temporarily if you post too much. The problem is, that isn't the case, at all. It actually permanently bans your account and completely deleted ALL of your content (threads, posts, etc...).

    You can get unbanned, but they permanently impose on you an image verification for every post you make after the fact. It's super annoying and a terrible system. The Ubisoft guy who unbanned me said that based on my previous content, he saw no reason that I should have been banned content-wise and that I was caught in an automated ban system.
