    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.
    Wow, that's not good. The image verification thing is a major pain in the ***. I seriously don't understand why they impose such a system. I had 1,000 posts under my main, force58, and I'm certainly not a damn bot, I just like viewing and responding to threads. It'd be one thing if they'd at least respond to me, but they won't.

    For some reason, there seems to be a bug after an automatic ban with it that sometimes your account gets flagged for shadowban. There's a lot of side-effects that are super buggy. Shadowbans are where only YOU see your content, and no one else does. Twice I've had to have them un-shadowban my account ever since the initial automatic ban.

    I guess they must be really busy then, otherwise that automatic ban deal would have been addressed already. At least I'm educated on it now thanks to all you kind agents, thanks for the help. The day when computers can take over like this is a sad day indeed.
