NeoDevilbane Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 I said "fuck" in the Dune 2000 Westwood Online channel and apparently it permanently banned my nickname from using Dune 2000 multiplayer. How do I unban it?- Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I believe someone posted a program in another thread that will filter out bad language for future use. And language bans usually last 24 hours or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 get a new nicknameDoesn't work, the ban is on the CD key of the game. Therefore, if you try to play under a different nickname but the same copy of the game, you'll still be banned. I had an experience similar to this on the Westwood Emperor chat channel, but I didn't say anything as extreme as "f**k". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRFsimmsy Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 How strange. Normally if someone says f&*k they are banned for at the maximum 24 hours. But it's usually about 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Well it's either the IP or the CD key. At least I think it was the CD key in Emperor, and it surely is the CD key in Starcraft, if you get banned from battle.net. How long after you were banned were you able to get back in? The ban might have expired by then, if you got back in over 2 hours or 24 hours later. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IxianMace Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Well I don't know what the hell they banned you with in Dune 2000 then... ??? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 also, the "veteran" players were being assholes and a "veteran" player somehow got me banned.....hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDevilbane Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 Apparently it is NEITHER the IP address or the CD key that is banned - you're right in that I was able to use my original nick after 24 hours, but in the meantime I was able to use an alternate nick I created just fine.- Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRFsimmsy Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 ethanNo player can ban you. The only way you can get banned is by your own ignorance and stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
