The Mana World Forums

So twice today I was banned for asking questions. Literally typing "??" and being banned. Both times I was walking through the maps attacking monsters. The first time I was in the 1st level of the mine and the second time I was in the new "volcano-created" map. Any advice would be helpful. Through a search of this forum, I see that a similar bug has occurred twice in the past (people being banned for texting). Thanks/thesofine

did you spammed your questions?

I wouldn't even know how to do that. Nor, would I do it.

Let me rephrase Turmfalkes post: Did you send a high number of chat lines in a short amount of time?

um, i did't think so but maybe that's what I did. thanks for your help, I will slow down my message speed :>

Are you sure you weren't banned for botting? I see you in the bat caves not talking ALOT.

same here i see u bot in there all the time

well, it turned out it was the use of text "smileys" that got me banned. I was not aware of this "anti-spamming" feature until I asked the question today. Thanks for the help.

What's with the lynching attitude in our community these days?

Cool down, chill out, do something. This doesn't seem warm and welcoming anymore.

so u want us to welcome botters? lol

No. We want you all to quit bitching and back-sit-moderating. Otherwise the management will also become impossible., your choice.

This is not AOL chat.

Thesofine, this is not a bug, you have hit anti-spam protection. I think one question mark per question is quite enought.

Regards.
