Title: Banned Account AUnKnownNoob
Post by: phoenixgreywolf on Thursday, October 24, 2013, 14:45:59 PM
This is the format for all ban appeals, follow it or your post will be deleted or locked.

Required Information,
- AUnKnownNoob
- AUnKnownNoob (551313)
- "Account Stealing"

Profile of AUnknowNoob
(formerly known as "255th_DCO_GA=Mass")
This is my former account, and I'm requesting that the account under that name is unbanned. The person that has been using this account was given PERMISSION BY MYSELF to use this account. You people need to grow the fuck up and pay attention. Maybe if you had contacted him first, you could have found out THAT I GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO HAVE THIS ACCOUNT. UNBAN THIS ACCOUNT OR I WILL CONTACT THE ARMY DESIGNERS AND HAVE YOUR RIGHTS TO PROGRAM AND RUN SERVERS FOR THIS GAME REVOKED. I AM A FORMER MILITARY SOLDIER OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY AND I STILL HAVE PULL. This account has no reason to be banned. Unban this account NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just fyi I found out that this account had been banned by way of the user contacting me via telephone. He's a personal close friend, and I do not appreciate you guys treating him like this. This WILL be resolved NOW!!!! Otherwise I will be contacting a different close friend who happens to have been one of the original programmers of AA and have his CO revoke your rights to this game.

I didn't ban it so I won't unban it. I just have a few points to make;

1. Demanding something doesn't mean it will happen. It's more likely that it won't happen due to your poor attitude.
2. We have no "rights", we have no permission. So revoking it would do nothing, even if you could pull enough strings. If they wanted to stop us, they've had years to do it. As far as knowing people involved in the game, I've talked to a few devs a decent amount and they appreciate the work we're doing and the approaches we've used to keep the original gameplay alive. I don't know about you but my scale tips heavy in the direction of the group of developers with a passion to keep a nostalgic game alive.
3. Giving your account to someone is one of the stupidest things you could do in this game. Why? It's easy to setup an account and if that person tries on hacks/exploits, you will be banned as well due to linkage. Sure you can appeal it but a link is a link and you'll remain banned.

With all that said, maybe you can ask nicely and not cop an attitude. After all, you have no "right" to tell us what to do.

So how do you have rights to ban my account just because I am not the one using it anymore then?

Just because my buddy is in Alaska several thousand miles away is using my account gives you or any other admin rights to ban it, ESPECIALLY when I gave him permission to have that account.

While it's not the best attitude to take, especially for a developer, we made Assist and we can do whatever we want. That's all the "right" we need.

As far as the account goes, I'm told it's linked to these:
http://aao25.com/acassist-stuff/255th-infantry-division/

Again, sharing accounts is risky.
Title: Re: Banned Account AUnKnownNoob

First off, I apologize for my attitude. I'm just a tad bit perturbed by this action taken seeing as I gave him permission to use this. This makes absolutely no sense that he got banned simply because he isn't using the same username in-game or in forums.

So I do apologize. However, this action is just a slight bit stupid in my personal and professional opinion. Just because the name has changed doesn't mean the account is stolen. It would have been better if the admins actually "asked" what is going on, rather than just simply banning it. I was playing with him last night on another account, but had to setup a new account today because my email didnt recognize. I reinstall my OS on my laptop, and now I can't remember or recover my password. So yes, if you look at my current account, there's no history to it.

But what difference does that make? I own the 255th name, including 255th_DCO_GA=Mass. If you want proof, I will gladly give you my contact number and e-mail and give you my personal full name so you can do a whois on www.255th.com where my clan is being born at. I will gladly verify any information you need to verify that this account was and is a legitimate account.

And thanks for that reply, however I cannot access that page due to the fact that this forum that you sent me to has no history and cannot be found.

Sharing accounts is risky only when you do not know the person personally. However, this person I know personally. And whoever is trying to use my clan name, they will be found out and punished to the extent of the law. I own that name, and will not have it tarnished, not for any game.

Thanks for calming down. I don't think this is an issue of Account Stealing (I can't see any reasoning behind that) but rather an account linked to one that was banned for hacking.

I'm not sure why that post is private for admins only so here's the quote from the original post:
82nd_G1_PVT=Swift was removed from the 82nd when he was found to be hacking and him and another are now the 255th Infantry Division.

http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/5615/

http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/253/255th_DCO_GA%3DMassacr/

This link here is to our forums where he has admitted to hacking and explains how he has been stealing peoples battle tracker accounts.

Can we please get these two taken care of please?

If you like, you can do a domain whois lookup. And then you can contact me directly via telephone at REMOVED which is the number registered as the administration contact on the domain whois information. I am not afraid and have nothing to hide. My name is REMOVED if you need it.

Here is what will happen

Your friend in Alaska should have used his own account.

http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/839735/

The ban on your account is based on YOU logging into a couple of banned accounts.

I removed the ban on your friend's HWID, and he'll be able to log on with HIS account.
YOUR HWID's will remain banned

Title: Re: Banned Account AUnKnownNoob
Post by: ELiZ on Thursday, October 24, 2013, 15:27:07 PM
Sure, hang on, I'll collect the accounts you tried to log with, in care you forgot them.

Hold the hell up, "Account Stealing"???????????? Are you freaking serious.... Wow you guys are really mature... That is a freaking NEW account. That account is not stolen, and is a legal legitimate account. But fine. If that is how this game is going to get played, we will neither one play this game again. Fine so be it. You guys don't deserve to have admin rights.

Admin, close this topic for no further replies. We are through with america's army since the Army has been disgraced by you people and acting like all powerful gods that dont deserve their power.

You tried to log onto Assist 6 times with this account:

But you are with, the ban on your new account is not account stealing, I'll change that to linked to previous ban.

ELiZ just said, "Account Stealing" was not the right term to use, it's a previous ban. As far as disgracing the Army, yea right. Keeping the game alive with the values and gameplay it had when it first came out and banning cheaters is a definite disgrace.
